The textual portion of the collection is arranged into a single alphabetical series of papers consisting of Awards and Ephemeral Material (one folder), Clippings (four folders), Correspondence (five folders), Genealogy, Travis Family (one folder), International Military Tribunal (fourteen folders and two large draft manuscripts), Military Entertainment (one folder), and Writings (eight folders).
1 linear foot — 1 oversize folder
The papers of DeHull Norman Travis include one linear foot of material in addition to five outsize items stored separately. The collection covers the period from the start of his law practice in 1909 through his death in 1960. However, most of the collection relates to Travis's work at the Nuremberg War crimes trials.
The correspondence with Governor Chase Osborn and Judges Victor Swearingen and Walter Beals, both judges at Nuremberg, is the most extensive in the Correspondence files. Although the correspondence also includes letters from Woodrow Wilson, Douglas MacArthur, Frank Murphy, Henry Ford II, G. Mennen Williams, Charles Coburn, and other notables, there is little substantive information here.
