From the Collection: The Staale Hendrickson Papers have been organized into two series: correspondence and subject files.

The Correspondence Series has been arranged chronologically and contains both incoming and outgoing letters but is by no means complete. Yet, it does follow his career for the period 1917 to 1933. Some of the early correspondence is in Norwegian. Of note in the correspondence is the 1917 North Dakota Legislative session, L.L. Twichell and the Independent Voters Association (1925-1926), the New York Life Insurance Company, L.B. Hanna, and the Truax-Traer Coal Company especially during the 1933 Legislative session.

The Subject File Series contain a wide range of material including various certificates of awards, legislative bills and proposals, song lyrics, Burke County tax statements, and pamphlets of North Dakota official for 1914, 1917 and 1933. Of special note are a Burke County Retail Price List for 1919 compiled by a number of businessmen, a Norwegian Smallpox certificate of 1849, several political cartoons including an original drawing concerning Mr. Hendrickson, a campaign poster, a pamphlet, "Destroy the Cox-Tammany Rule in Burleigh County" and a scrapbook of newspaper clippings covering Mr. Hendrickson's career. Separated to Mss 1596.8 are a number of election certificates to the North Dakota House of Representatives, and a certificate of appreciation from the Unites States Food Administration.
