The papers of Jerry Lewis contain papers, photographs, and videotapes which were formerly held by Lewis’s congressional office and transferred to UCLA upon his retirement in 2013. The materials document the work done by Lewis over his half century of involvement in local, state, and federal politics, containing everything from election records to legislative background material to personal correspondence. The collection is stored offsite so prior arrangements need to be made for access. A finding aid is available in the repository and online.
