Brockman (Brock) Adams was born January 13, 1927, in Atlanta, Georgia,
and grew up in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Adams served in the
United States Navy from 1944 until 1946 and graduated from the University of
Washington in 1949 with a degree in economics. He received his law degree from
Harvard University in 1952.
Adams went into private practice in Seattle, where he also taught law
at the American Banking Institute. As a result of Adams's involvement in John.
F. Kennedy's presidential campaign, he was appointed U.S. Attorney for the
Western District of Washington in 1961. He held this position until 1964, when
he campaigned for a seat in the House of Representatives. Adams, a Democrat,
represented the greater Seattle area and was re-elected six times.
During Adams's career in the House of Representatives, he served on
several committees, including Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Revenue and
Financial Affairs, Banking and Currency, and Agriculture. Adams became chairman
of the House Budget Committee in 1974. His expertise regarding transportation
issues led to his appointment as Secretary of Transportation by President Jimmy
Carter in 1977. Adams resigned his House seat and worked in Carter's cabinet
until his resignation in 1979. Adams then returned to Seattle to enter private
law practice.
In 1985 Adams ran for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Republican
Slade Gorton, winning Gorton's seat in an upset victory. Shortly after Adams
launched his re-election campaign in 1992, the
Seattle Times published a front-page story
in which eight anonymous women accused the senator of sexual misconduct. Adams
denied the allegations but withdrew from the re-election race and retired from
public life at the conclusion of his Senate term.
In his Senate career, Brock Adams championed women's issues as well as
those of senior citizens. He took a conservationist stance on many
environmental issues, focusing particularly on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
Adams also opposed Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Sr., in many
aspects of foreign policy, especially regarding United States involvement in
the Persian Gulf War.
Brock Adams died in 2004 at his home in Maryland. He was 77 years
old.
The collection is arranged in series based on periods of Adams's life
and career. These series include: Early years, U.S. House of Representatives,
Department of Transportation, U.S. Senate, and Portraits. Within these series,
materials are arranged chronologically.
The collection contains photographs documenting Adams's political
career. Activities and events documented include hearings, receptions,
activities with school groups, meetings with other politicians and with
constituents, campaign speeches and other activities, rallies, and other
events. Many photographs relate to women's rights or women's health; events
relating to senior citizens and environmental issues are also highlighted.
Brock Adams appears in all photographs unless otherwise indicated.
The collection is open to the public.
Restrictions may exist on reproduction, quotation, or publication.

Contact sheets have been made for all negatives in the collection;
wherever a contact sheet is identified, corresponding negatives exist. Each set
of negatives covers an event or activity. Contact sheets for each set of images
have been given a "primary number." For instance, a contact sheet may have the
number 622.12; any prints made from negatives in this set have been given
numbers such as 622.12-5, 622.12-11, and so on. Full-size prints do not exist
for all images found in the negatives; however, each negative has a
corresponding contact print.
Contact sheets and prints are stored together, while negatives are
stored in separate boxes. Prints for which negatives and contact sheets do not
exist are numbered individually, as are slides.
These photographs were relocated from the Brock Adams Papers
(Manuscripts Accession Nos. 1096-001, 1096-002, 1096-003, 1096-004, and
1096-016), in the Special Collections division, University of Washington
Libraries, in 2003.
These materials form part of the Brock Adams Papers, which are
described and indexed in A Guide to the Brock Adams Papers. The guide is
available in the Special Collections division, University of Washington
Libraries.
