The Bill Henry Collection at Occidental College

Shortly before his death in 1970, Bill Henry arranged for his personal papers, books, and memorabilia to be given to the library at Occidental College. The Bill Henry Collection (1888-1976) consists of the writings and professional files of Bill Henry, which include correspondence, photographs, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and other materials he gathered in relation to his activities as a reporter, author, and civic leader. Also included are approximately 460 books, journals, and other publications relating to the history of the Olympic Games and sports in general, American diplomacy, and U.S. politics.
