With heavy hearts, we remember former U.S. Representative James "Jim" Kolbe who died on Dec. 3. Kolbe represented Arizona's 5th congressional district (1985-2003) for 22 years, and served in the Vietnam War. Rep. Kolbe's collection is available to view, and includes campaign materials, legislative files including committee records and material on trade especially the North American Free Trade Agreement, voting records, speeches, office files, correspondence, press files, subject files and photographic and audio-visual materials, most of which donated were by Kolbe in 2016.
