ACTIVITIES

 

          The Mundt Archives includes over 1.9 million documents which have been catalogued and microfilmed.  There are over 15, 000 pieces of memorabilia from Senator Mundt’s personal and political life.  Mundt’s Congressional tern was 1939-1972. 

            The Foundation Staff offers tours to service clubs, visitors, community organizations, and students in order to share with the public this well organized and easily accessible information. 

            Mundt’s Senate office is recreated and preserved as it was in Washington, giving visitors a first hand glance at the actual base of the Senator’s far reaching career.

            In 1988, the Mundt biography, A Fair Chance for a Free People by Scott Heidepriem was published and a biographical film with the same title was released by the foundation. 

            In 1994, a complex index of the Mundt Archives was assembled by Pauline Teagarden and published by the Mundt Foundation.  In 1997, the entire index was completed on the Internet.
