Rehnquist papers donated to Hoover archives

The papers of the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, including correspondence with fellow justices during 33 years on the Supreme Court, have been donated by his family to the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford University, the institution announced Wednesday...

The papers include drafts and notes on his many books and speeches as well as documents and correspondence on court cases. Hoover spokeswoman Michele Horaney said the first material to be released to researchers and the public, probably this year, will cover 1972 through 1974, including papers related to the 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion. Rehnquist was one of two justices who dissented from that ruling.
