A collection of over 4,500 unique photographs illustrates the life and career of Senator Russell. Early photographs include images of Russell ancestors and from Russell's childhood and, then, span his life through 1 October 1970, when he made a military inspection tour at Key West, Florida.
Contents of this collection range from political campaigns; trips made by Russell, either vacation or official; functions within the Senate, such as Senate leadership, Democratic Policy Committee meetings, or debates; and White House functions to family events, Cherry Blossom Festivals' princesses and their escorts, farms, country road intersections, and "impacted area" schools. There are a large number of images of Russell with well-known individuals, and some images have been autographed.
The photographs are organized into three groups: A. RBR Photographs, B. Winder Photographs, and C. Trips. Each group is arranged in chronological order. They are accessible by name of individual, event, and subject heading.
