The collection also includes issues of newspapers providing extensive coverage of the London Printers' Strike of 1911 (when Churchill was Home Secretary) and the Great Britain General Strike of 1926 (when Churchill was Chancellor of the Exchequer). The periodicals, pamphlets, and clippings in the collection are a mixture of articles and speeches by Churchill (with a large number printed in Colliers and Reader's digest), a few articles about Churchill, and international coverage of Churchill's funeral in 1965.The ephemera includes commemorative coins and trinkets, stamped envelopes, photographs of Churchill and people at Churchill-related events, reproductions of documents from Churchill's life, postcards, calendars, two LP albums, and a talking Winston Churchill action figure.
