As with any public official, Congressman Poage received numerous plaques, awards, certificates, degrees, and presentation photographs. These have all been grouped together under the generic designation: awards alphabetically by the organization making the presentation as well as a numerical list.

A supplemental group of materials received in the fall of 1993 including some certificates and large photographs were filed with the existing awards on Range 14. "Awards." Some of these have been hung in the W. R. Poage Reading Room while others are on the walls of the BCPM. The remainder are filed on Range 14. The finding aid provides a list of these

I. Maps, 1935-1994, 60 lin. ft., 244 titles

One of Congressman Poage's hobbies was collecting maps. So much so that he endowed a special map room in memory of his wife in the Texas Collection at Baylor. He also donated a number of maps and funded the purchase of others. Nevertheless, there are still several hundred maps related to his work with American agriculture that remain a part of the BCPM. These maps have been combined with others that continue to arrive from the U.S. Forest Service into a general Map Collection housed in map cabinets with a separate finding aid.
