100 Years of Oklahoma Governors


100 Years of Oklahoma Governors

Housed in the Oklahoma State Archives, administrative records relate to the governors' principal and appointive powers, and responsibilities. This site includes archival finding aids from each gubernatorial administration from Charles Haskell (1907-1911) to Frank Keating (1995-2003).

From the about page:
The records of Oklahoma’s governors are a tremendous research collection because of the unique perspective they provide. Researchers can gain insight into each governor’s thoughts, writing style, and priorities. The records of each governor’s administration reflect numerous political, social, economic and global issues. With that in mind, the governor is not only the chief executive officer of the state, but also a representative of Oklahoma’s history.
