Manuscripts
An assemblage of approximately 130 clippings of articles, poems, and other printed matter related to nativist and racist social and political issues in the Antebellum South. The scrapbook, which was made by an unknown person in Mississippi, is made from an old diary. Clippings include the American Party of Mississippi's platform statement, pieces on the "Bloody Monday" riots in Louisville, the American Party State ticket, and with articles entitled "Americanism Nothing New," "Immigration & Americanism," and "Union of Disunion-What Shall it Be?" In the middle of the volume is a woodblock print used by the Port Gibson newspaper, The Herald and Correspondent, of an American eagle with a banner proclaiming, "Americans Must Rule America. Our Whole Country." The scrapbook contains a few racist depictions of Afrrican Americans. The cover features components of the Saturday Evening Post masthead laid down, and a large engraving of a reception by Queen Victoria is on the rear board. The scrapbook features homemade flaps and foldout tabs, often with colored tabs and the terms "up" or "down" to indicate which direction will reveal more text.

There are two manuscripts from Widney's book, The genesis and evolution of Islam and Judeo-Christianity. The remaining manuscripts include a poem by Widney and excerpts from a speech. The collection also includes 10 items of ephemera: five photographs of Widney and five photographs of a bust of his likeness installed in the Auditorium Room of the Los Angeles County Medical Association building in 1937.
