Contents: |
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.

purposes and improved access. These materials include photographs, audiovisual items, scrapbooks, vertical files, memorabilia,
and books.

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.

The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection contains 465 pieces of audiovisual material. Although Russell was not known for extensive
media appearances, early on he did make use of radio. These appearances, which began on radio in 1930, include not only campaign
related activities but also many talk shows, award presentations, Senate Recording Studio releases (view playlist of digitized
Senate Recording Studio films), news conferences, and turning points in Russell's career. In addition, Russell was often sent
material of interest in audiovisual form by constituents and political associates. The most comprehensive of these materials,
WSB-TV's "Richard B. Russell: Georgia Giant," contains numerous hours of interviews (edited and unedited) with Russell and
several historical background films that went into the making of the 3-hour documentary. Digitized audiovisual materials from
this collection are available for viewing on the Russell Library Audiovisual account on YouTube.
