Log of Minor Edits
September 2015 on: --Henry Regnery papers link in References only links to Stanford's main catalog page and not a persistent link that can be found on the OAC (Online Archives of California). Changed the link to take the reader directly to Regnery's finding aid which is a descriptive "catalog" that talks about what is in the collection. No conflict of interest since I did not process the collection and I am no longer affiliated with the Hoover Institution. Just want to give proper credit to a persistent link that would be more useful:

2015: --William R. Gruber --Edmund Gruber

2014: --van den Keere --Edmund Gruber

2013: --van den Keere

URL UPDATES --Tess600 (talk) 16:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Tess600 --> Updated URL for Henry Regnery article. Old URL pointed to Stanford's OPAC whereas new link points to a persistent URL that is found on the OAC. See, "September 2015 on" entry at the top.
