Lyndon B. Johnson Recordings and Transcripts of Conversations and Meetings is a partially complete collection of cassettes
and/or compact discs duplicating the original audio materials housed at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library. All
recordings containing conversations between President Johnson and Senator Richard B. Russell and transcripts of those conversations,
as well as many others, are duplicated here. Researchers interested in listening to these recordings or viewing the transcripts
of these recordings should first discern which tape or transcript is required by searching the recordings database located
on the website of the Johnson Presidential Library . The "tape number" in the database will correspond to the tape number
of the duplicate recording at the Russell Library, and the month and year of the recording will correspond to the transcript
on file at the Russell Library. These same recordings, as well as presidential recordings from Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry
S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon, are available to listen to online via the Presidential
Recordings Program of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

During the 1990s, Dalton, Georgia's growing carpet industry brought increasing numbers of Spanish speakers into the region
and the local school system. In 1996, local attorney and former U.S. congressman Erwin Mitchell recognized the need for bilingual
educators in Dalton Public Schools to teach the growing number of non-English speaking students. Mitchell and a small group
of Dalton citizens founded the Georgia Project, a community based non-profit organization, to serve the academic needs of
Latino and Hispanic students, their teachers, and their parents. The Georgia Project developed an exchange program and brought
qualified bilingual teaching assistants from Spanish speaking countries to assist in Dalton Public Schools. The collection
illustrates the partnership that developed between the Georgia Project, University of Monterrey in Mexico, and the City of
Dalton and Whitfield County schools. Committee files, conference and meeting files, general files, and financial records document
the administrative activities of the staff of the Georgia Project. Reference material including clippings, reports, and publications
demonstrate the need in the community for bilingual education and teacher training. The collection includes correspondence,
memoranda, notes, reports, clippings, financial records, statistical reports, publications, photographs, and audiovisual material.
