André de Staercke Churchill collection
Manuscripts
The collection consists of letters and telegrams written by Winston Churchill to André de Staercke; the two men were friends as well as colleagues and most of the letters are personal thank you notes for gifts sent to the Churchills. According to the de Staercke family, Winston Churchill hoped de Staercke would marry his youngest daughter, Mary; she married Christopher Soames instead in 1947, but de Staercke was the godfather of their daughter (and Churchill's granddaughter) Emma Mary Soames. The collection also includes letters written to de Staercke by Lady Clementine Churchill, Winston Spencer Churchill, Connoisseur magazine, Pamela Harriman, Emma Mary Soames, and Mary Soames; as well as a few letters to Sir William Nicholson, one letter from J. C. Smuts to Jean Hersholt, a photograph of Emma Mary Soames, printed material and ephemera.

Curt J. Zoller Churchill collection: printed materials and ephemera
Rare Books
This collection contains approximately 550 printed items, covering a span of 1903 to 2010, with articles and the texts of speeches by British statesman Winston Churchill, articles and pieces of propaganda about Churchill, and a variety of ephemera and audio and visual materials related to Churchill. These materials were collected by Churchill scholar Curt J. Zoller and form a subsection of the Curt J. Zoller Churchill Collection.

Most have a portrait, quote, or article about Churchill. Many of these fliers were intended for aerial delivery. 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. The audiovisual materials include VHS tapes with programs on Churchill and recordings of lectures about Churchill, while the audio items are mostly recordings of Churchill's speeches.
