The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection, Subgroup C, Series IX. Legislative is primarily constituent mail, but includes legislative
drafts, memoranda, hearing transcripts, and correspondence with congressional colleagues. Although official senate committee
records remain with each committee and, when retired by the committee, they are transferred to the Center for Legislative
Archives, National Archives and Records Administration, in Washington, D.C., as part of the permanent records of Congress,
Senator Russell retained copies of some materials related to these committees. Any additional non-textual materials originally
filed with papers were removed for preservation purposes and improved access. These materials include photographs, audiovisual
items, scrapbooks, vertical files, memorabilia, and books.
