The bulk of this album consists of newspaper clippings and photographs that date from the 1950s and detail J. Bracken Lee's service as governor. Some of the articles highlight events attended by Lee or his wife, Margaret, while others discuss Lee's unsuccessful run for governor as an independent in 1956. In one article, Lee suggests that McCarthyism is synonymous with Americanism. Another article about Lee, published in The American Magazine, is entitled, "The Lone Wolf of Utah." Photographs are largely unlabeled but include some original and reproduced family snapshots. Also included is a 1950 letter from Lee to his mother, thanking her for his Christmas gift. The back of the album holds three documents pertaining to Lee's unsuccessful bid for governor in 1956, including a booklet entitled, "Accomplishments of the Administration of Governor J. Bracken Lee," an article entitled, "Why the People will Re-elect Governor Lee," and a transcript of his speech accepting a run for governor as an independent.
