ARTIFACTS COLLECTION SUBGROUP: DESKTOP ITEMS CATEGORY
SCOPE & CONTENT
The Desktop Items Category
consists of eighty-four artifacts arranged into the
sub-categories of Annie Glenn, Corporate, Military, NASA,
Post-Senate and Senate. The category contains an assortment
of clocks, paperweights, ashtrays, pens, letter openers,
flags sets, and other types of small items normally designed
for use on an office desk. Most of these artifacts,
presented to or acquired by John Glenn from 1961 to 2003,
commemorate an event, policy issue or entity of special
interest to Glenn. As noted in the item listing, many of
these small artifacts were once used or displayed in Glenn’s
Senate office.
Also included in this
category are three nameplates used by Senator Glenn in the
1980s and 1990s during hearings of the Senate Governmental
Affairs Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee. |
