1902-1987
Creator:
Gates, Thomas S.
Extent: 15.22 linear feet (38 boxes, 7 oversize folders)
Thomas Sovereign Gates, Jr., was a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy during World War II, who went on to serve
as the Secretary of the Navy (1957-1959), Secretary of Defense (1959-1961), and Ambassador to China (1976-1977). As a civilian
he also pursued a career in investment banking at the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company (later J.P. Morgan & Co.). Gates’ personal
papers focus largely on his government service, with a small amount of additional personal items. Included are many military
and government documents and correspondence with influential politicians--perhaps most notably with President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
under who Gates served as both Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of Defense. The collection also includes many clippings
and photographs that have been assembled into a remarkable collection of scrapbooks that bring Gates’ service to life.
