The collection consists of correspondence, financial papers, photographs, speeches and writings, and printed material arranged
in alphabetical order by name or subject. Although the bulk of the material concerns Caldwell's career, some are paersonal
and family papers and consist of correspondence with his parents, his brother Alvin, and various aunts, uncles and cousins,
including Hattie Dunlop who apparently suffered from paranoia. The farm papers deal with a house and land in Meriwether County
that had been in the Caldwell family for many years. Caldwell took it over in 1940, made many improvements, and considered
it his legal residence. Boxes 48-50 contain Caldwell's personal financial papers.
Of special interest are the Board of Regents papers; Walter Cocking controversy, Ty Cobb and the Cobb Educational Foundation;
Berry College papers; the Wallace Butts football scandal; and the papers of the colleges and universities in the University
System of Georgia with their various achievements or problems. Correspondents include Omer Clyde Aderhold, Walter Blackstock,
Callaway family (Pine Mountain, Ga.), Lamar Dodd, Stewart Gelders, Hodgson family (Athens, Ga.), Joseph Winthrop Holley, John
Alton Hosch, Lucy Stanley MacArthur, Moina Michael, Jonathan Clark Rogers, Steadman Vincent Sanford, Hughes Spalding, and
Herman Talmadge.
