The Reflections on Georgia Politics Oral History Collection consists of interviews with politically prominent Georgians conducted
by Bob Short since 2007. Interviewees include former governors, members of both the U.S. and Georgia Congresses, secretaries
of state, lobbyists, journalists, lawyers, activists, and relatives of prominent politicians. Included with these oral histories
are a few public programs recorded at Young Harris College in 2006-2007. Most interviews were recorded in the homes and offices
of interviewees or in the Bob Short Oral History Studio at the University of Georgia. The conversations cover many topics
at the intersection of politics and public life in modern Georgia, with a particular strength in gubernatorial contests,
the Civil Rights movement, reapportionment, the development of Atlanta, the rise of the Republican party in Georgia, political
journalism, and the interaction between religion and politics.

Contents: |
The Two-Party Georgia Oral History Project documents how the Georgia Republican Party grew from a small grassroots party during
an era of Democratic dominance into the state's premiere political organization and governing party over the course of the
late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Interview participants represent current and former Republican and Democratic
political figures who were active contributors or commenters on this transformation between 1952-2016, with a primary focus
on the years post-1974.The collection documents the personal experiences and insights of the candidates, officeholders, activists,
organizers, strategists, and analysts who participated in those key campaigns, intraparty conflicts, policy debates, and legislative
battles. It also documents the accounts of the journalists and scholars who have chronicled these activities and achievements.

Iris F. Blitch Papers

Creator: |
Blitch, Iris Faircloth, 1912-1993. |
|
|
Dates: |
1954-1985 |
|
|
Contents: |
The Iris F. Blitch Papers document her two terms representing Georgia's Eighth District in the United States Congress from
1955 to 1963, and, to a lesser extent her campaigns and personal life. The majority of the collection consists of correspondence,
newspaper clippings, legislative bills, research and campaign materials, scrapbooks and photographs. Well-documented throughout
the entire collection, particularly in the Legislative and Subject Series, are the issues that were important to Blitch and
to the twenty counties that composed the Eighth District, including agriculture and environmental issues. Bills sponsored
or supported by Blitch include: Okefenokee Conservation Bill (secured funding for water conservation and fire protection in
and around the swamp); Small-Watershed Bill (allowed the building of small watershed projects with government grants and loans
to conserve water for farmers, municipalities, industry, recreation and the conservation of fish and wildlife); Water Pollution
Bill; forestry development; anti-subversive activities; improved drug laws; livestock sales; and benefits to beekeepers, among
others. Additionally, the papers provide insight into the political climate for women in the second half of the 1950s and
the early 1960s as well as into social mores regarding their participation. Blitch's personal beliefs and opinions regarding
women's roles and responsibilities in government and politics are evident in the speeches and interviews she gave throughout
her career. To a lesser extent, and primarily through correspondence found in the Personal Series, is information relating
to her immediate and extended family as well as her fragile health, which ultimately forced her retirement in 1963. Correspondents
include the following prominent Georgians: D. W. Brooks, Phil Campbell, John Flynt, Jr., E. L. Forrester, Ed Friend, Henderson
Lanham, Herman Talmadge, John Pilcher, Prince Preston, and Richard B. Russell, Jr.
