Excluding a brief autobiographical sketch of Smith, the focus of the collection is U. S. Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr. News
clippings and mementos such as the announcement and platform for Governor of Georgia in 1930 and ballots for that election
document the early years of Russell's career. News clippings begin in 1930 and extend to 1970. There are also programs of
events memorializing the Senator after his death, as well as a few items concerning the Richard B. Russell Memorial Library.
A copy of Senator Russell's will is included. Smith's record of mailed contributions to Russell's campaign fund is also part
of the collection.
The collection also contains photographs of various United States government officials (Robert McNamara, Herman Talmadge,
Frank Carlson, Robert G. Stephens, Jr.), including former presidents (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower,
John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson). Other miscellaneous photographs include images of the Biltmore House in Ashville, North
Carolina and a group of high school students from Athens, Georgia visiting Washington, D.C.
