a broad range of events, activities, people, and places in the state of Georgia from the earliest American Indian settlements
through the early 1980s and, specifically, the history of senators in Georgia through the late 1970s. Drafts and research
materials for Josephine Mellichamp's book, Senators from Georgia, provide an abundance of information on the careers of Georgia
senators. The drafts of "Georgia Heritage" contained in these papers may be the only extant copies of the manuscript since
the material was never published. The collection also contains a small collection of printed works.
