{"value"=>"<p>In researching the history books he considered his life's work, Schlesinger gathered voluminous files of data in the form of published material, note cards, transcripts and annotations. In some cases, he organized his research by subject and in other instances, his research was organized by chapter. The largest amount of research in this series informed Schlesinger's three books on the career of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Some research also seems to have been intended for the planned subsequent volumes in that series. One set of research files for the Roosevelt books is arranged alphabetically by subject, while another set is arranged numerically by section number. These section numbers range from 22 to 33; the first twenty-one sections were not received with the collection. The other large section of book-related research in this subseries relates to <span class=\"title\">Robert Kennedy and His Times</span>. Among the other research for that work are a great many oral histories from those who knew and worked with Robert Kennedy, some conducted by Schlesinger himself and others obtained by Schlesinger from other sources. Selected pages of the oral histories have been classified for national security reasons and may be declassified on a case-by-case basis over time. Also of note here are Schlesinger's original note cards for <span class=\"title\">The Age of Jackson</span>, his first major success.</p>"}
