Extent:
2 box(es) and (2 linear feet)
Scope and content:

The scrapbook series consists of three scrapbooks. The first book is dated June 6, 1907, when a tribute dinner was held in honor of Governor Terrell on his birthday and the fifth anniversary of his nomination as governor. A scrapbook with copies of the toasts and letters from those attending was made for this special occasion. Two hundred prominent men from all walks of life from Georgia were invited to this festivity.

The other two scrapbooks reflect Terrell's political career from his election as attorney general to his appointment to the United States Senate. There are materials related to Terrell's influence over the election of Governor Joseph M. Brown, as well as tributes and obituaries to Terrell at the time of his death. Of interest, there are articles, photographs and printed items related to President Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Atlanta in October 1905.

User copies of the scrapbooks are available on microfilm.
