The Ted Stevens Papers collection will be the cornerstone of preserving and sharing our state’s history through the Alaska Leaders Archive. Senator Stevens’ decades of service touched so many aspects of life and public policy in Alaska. His legacy is encapsulated in his archives, which were gifted to the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2023 by the Ted Stevens Foundation.

The collection is one of the largest documented congressional collections in history. The archives reflect his profound commitment to key issues in Alaska and our nation, including energy, education, health care, communications, Indigenous rights for Alaska Natives, amateur sports, infrastructure, military, the Arctic and much more. His papers tell the story of our state and its people. They also present an opportunity to create something impactful for Alaska. The service of Senator Stevens can inspire and inform future generations of students and Alaska leaders.
