This collection documents the life of William H. (Bill) Burson (1928-1997) and the various positions he held under Senator
Herman Talmadge; Governors Carl Sanders, Lester Maddox, and Jimmy Carter; and Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller. Burson graduated
from the University of Georgia with a BA in Journalism in 1948 and served as a war correspondent in the Korean War. After
the war, Burson served as an aide to Senator Herman Talmadge and later to Governor Carl Sanders. In 1967, the newly elected
governor, Lester Maddox, appointed him to be director of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services. Over the
next three years Burson fought a "War on Hunger" attempting to create food stamps programs across Georgia. Burson was elected
as State Treasurer in 1970 and campaigned for the U.S. Senate in 1972. After losing the senatorial campaign, Burson worked
as a lobbyist for business interests in the Southeast. In 1975, he became Zell Miller's administrative and special assistant,
a position he held until his retirement in 1991. The collection is comprised primarily of twenty-five scrapbooks that detail
Burson's life and career from 1933 to 1991. Also included are photographs, editorial cartoons, books, certificates, and plaques.
