The L. B. Bolt, Jr. Papers is a large collection consisting of numerous legal files, clippings, and files of personal interest. A significant portion of the collection includes material related to Bolt's cases, both as a lawyer for TVA and a lawyer in private practice. Also included are Bolt's files on communism and suspected communist activities. The collection of newspaper clippings largely consists of articles about communism, top-ranking TVA officials, and government figures. Another interesting portion of the collection is Bolt's public figure files. He collected clippings and information on figures he suspected as being communist sympathizers. Senator Kenneth D. McKellar joined Bolt in his obsession with communism, and his files prove quite interesting.
