Collection
This collection contains memoranda, letters, briefing papers, and reports that President Gerald Ford initialed or otherwise annotated along with a small number of documents entirely in his hand. Gertrude Fry of the Staff Secretary's Office selected the documents from among those found in the Oval Office outbox. Even if a document case contained handwriting on only one page, Fry placed the entire case in the Handwriting File.
This collection covers most Ford administration topics, but researchers should note its limitations. Many documents from the President's outbox contained no annotations, so Fry just stamped them "The President has seen" and sent them to the White House Central Files. In addition, the Handwriting File seldom reflects White House staff work before or after an issue was referred to the President. It is probable, especially for the first half of the administration, that some handwriting items relating to national security matters were returned to the National Security Council or other agencies.
President Ford seldom added extensive comments or notes to documents. Usually he merely initialed them, placed a check mark next to the option he preferred, or added a brief note such as "Send to Jack Marsh for handling." These documents are significant because they were seen by the President and often reflect his decisions.

This collection consists of a filing system shared by the White House East Wing staff, who assisted Betty Ford and the Ford children in their public activities. It includes Subject Files, Name Files, Chronological Files, and Bulk Mail Files that are comparable to the separate system used by President Gerald R. Ford and his staff in the West Wing. Correspondence with the general public comprise most, but not all, of the material. The material concerns views on public issues, expressions of support or criticism, holiday greetings, invitations, schedule requests, and plans, assistance requests and offers, and other matters.
