The Political series is arranged into two subseries: A. Campaigns and B. Republican Party Activities. Subseries A contains information about the elections in which Rodney Cook participated as a candidate. In addition to his political activities, these papers also provide information of Cook's work as alderman and state representative. A general section includes a folder with a variety of materials relating to several campaigns between 1961 and 1972. Noted items are a file about Lester Maddox, a copy of a letter from President Richard M. Nixon to Cook about the 1972 Georgia Congressional campaign, and two magazine articles about changes in southern politics during the twentieth century. Papers relating to the 1969 mayoral campaign comprise the largest section of this subseries. These include materials describing the Atlanta city government, Rodney Cook correspondence with supporters, campaign tactics, news clippings, staff organization, opponents, and political literature. Two files cover the 1961 and 1965 races for alderman. Additional items of interest are the Issue Book and the 1970 Henry H. Perritt Jr. thesis about this election. Other files cover Rodney Cook's political campaigns for the Georgia legislature, 1965-1970, the 1972 Congressional election, and the 1978 Governor's race. Subseries B contains material covering Cook's involvement with Republican Party activities of local, state, and national concern. Files include papers relating to a movie about the Republicans made in Houston, Texas and work of the Fulton County Republican Planning Committee as well as the Republican Roundtable, both on which Cook served as chairman.

(5.5 linear feet)
The Alderman series is arranged into two subseries: A. Subject File and B. Committee File. Subseries A covers issues of civil rights, Atlanta government from 1964 to 1966, liquor licenses, pornography, guns, and flood control. A miscellaneous file contains a 1961 note from Vice-President Richard M. Nixon to Cook as the Nixons left Washington, D.C. It also includes an August 23, 1965 letter from Senator Richard B. Russell to Cook, concerning Russell's health and decision to run for re-election. Several folders also pertain to traffic and road construction in Atlanta and Georgia. Subseries B contains materials relating to committees on which Rodney Cook served or had contact with while alderman. The largest number of papers covers his work as chairman of the Urban Renewal, Planning and Development, and the Urban Renewal Policy Committees as well as membership on the Zoning and other committees connected with those projects. These papers center on the improvement and development of Atlanta into a modern city of the South, and they focus on the years 1960 through the early 1970s. Many files contain ordinances proposed by Cook and letters from private and business sectors favoring or protesting changes. Maps and sketches of suggested development are also included. Another topic covered is the construction of the Atlanta stadium. The remainder of this subseries consists of single folders of other committees on which Cook served: Prisons, Purchasing, Traffic, and Water Quality. A. Subject File
