Title	John J. Raskob papers, collection guide
Abstract	Collection guide for John J. Raskob Papers documenting the life and accomplishments of one of the most prominent figures in pre-New Deal business and politics. Raskob had a lifelong business and personal association with Pierre S. du Pont, and contributed both to the recreation of the Du Pont Company as a modern corporation and to the remarkable success of General Motors. Raskob became involved in national politics through the struggle against Prohibition, and later became the chairman of the Democratic National Committee after heading Alfred Smith's unsuccessful presidential campaign. The papers also extensively document Raskob's domestic life in Wilmington, Maryland, and New York City, his finances and investments, and his varied business endeavors outside of DuPont and General Motors.
