The Reflections on Georgia Politics Oral History Collection consists of interviews with politically prominent Georgians conducted
by Bob Short since 2007. Interviewees include former governors, members of both the U.S. and Georgia Congresses, secretaries
of state, lobbyists, journalists, lawyers, activists, and relatives of prominent politicians. Included with these oral histories
are a few public programs recorded at Young Harris College in 2006-2007. Most interviews were recorded in the homes and offices
of interviewees or in the Bob Short Oral History Studio at the University of Georgia. The conversations cover many topics
at the intersection of politics and public life in modern Georgia, with a particular strength in gubernatorial contests,
the Civil Rights movement, reapportionment, the development of Atlanta, the rise of the Republican party in Georgia, political
journalism, and the interaction between religion and politics.

filed with papers were removed for preservation purposes and improved access. These materials include photographs, audiovisual

Subgroup C, Series V. Personal contains correspondence and material of a personal nature including invitations, greetings,
announcements, commendations, gifts, family material, etc. With the exception of some correspondence with his mother, all
family correspondence was removed to Exhibit B and restricted by donor agreement. Especially noteworthy are the materials
related to History, Miscellaneous, and Trips. While History generally has materials relating to Russell's interest in the
subject, specifically the Civil War, Russell occasionally designated certain items to be placed here. For example, at his
direction, research and strategy files from the 1960 civil rights debates are located here. Miscellaneous has a significant
amount of correspondence from personal friends. Trips contains correspondence and material on all of Senator Russell's trips
including those made in his capacity as a member or chairman of a senate committee. For example, correspondence and material
from Russell's 1943 global tour of the war front as chairman of a special senate committee to investigate overseas military
bases demonstrate the senator's work on such assignments. During many of these overseas trips prior to 1950, Russell had very
revealing correspondence with his mother, which is included. Trips are filed under year in which they were made. If more than
one trip was made within a year, the trips were filed alphabetically by country within the year.

Contents: |
The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection, Subgroup C, Series VI. Political not only spans the entire senate career of Russell
but also carries over the gubernatorial office with the 1932 senatorial campaign and the early senate office procedures through
Russell's office filing reorganization circa 1943. The Political series is a rich source of documentation for studying political
campaigns in the mid-twentieth century. The campaign files cover Senator Russell's campaigns of 1932, 1936, 1942, 1948, 1954,
1960, and 1966. In addition to the senatorial campaign files, the series contains files documenting Russell's unsuccessful
1952 race for United States president. 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. The Special Name files contain information at a particular point in time on individuals whom Senator
Russell considered of enough interest to warrant an individual folder. Such individuals include Lyndon B. Johnson, Eugene
Talmadge, Charles Crisp, Herman E. Talmadge, Ralph McGill, Strom Thurmond, Orval Faubus, and Barry Goldwater, among others.

headings are by agency or by subject and arranged alphabetically. Because of the close relationship between the passage of
legislation by the Congress and its implementation by the federal government, there is significant overlap between the General
series and the Legislative series. 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,

The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection Subgroup D: Winder Papers were gathered at the request of the Russell Estate executors
in the early 1980s, Russell Library staff appraised materials at the Russell family home place in Winder, Georgia, for the
purpose of identifying those items which should be added to the collection at the Library. Staff members had full access to
search the house and property to locate materials. This addendum to the original conveyance of the Senator's collection documents
his personal life and early career and fills gaps in documentation provided by materials already at the Library. The Winder
Materials are divided into five series: Early Years, School Years, Georgia Legislative and Pre-Gubernatorial Years, Georgia
Gubernatorial Years, and United States Senatorial Years. 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.
