The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection, Subgroup C, Series XIII. Kennedy Assassinations concerns both the homicides of John
F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy. The majority of the documents, however, relate to the president's assassination
and the subsequent findings of the Warren Commission. The files of this series include information prompted by the investigation,
correspondence, reports, testimony transcripts, book manuscript drafts and proofs, memoranda, evidential material, manuscript
drafts and proofs of the final commission report and clippings pertaining to the assassinations, the commission reports, and
other related topics. Other material related to this series is in the Dictation series and in the Intra-Office Communications
series of the Winder Papers. 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.
