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 XV: General is composed mainly of correspondence and printed materials
relating to federal agencies and departments. Arrangement is chronological by latest date, and within each year date, file
headings are by agency or by subject and arranged alphabetically. Because of the close relationship between the passage of
legislation by the Congress and its implementation by the federal government, there is significant overlap between the General
series and the Legislative series. 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.
