Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies

The Richard B. Russell Library contains extensive collections of manuscripts, photographs, and historical documents focusing on American political developments and governance.

Founded in 1974 following correspondence between the University of Georgia Libraries and Senator Russell Jr., the library emerged after his death in 1971.

The library maintains collections about Georgia disability history, Latino political involvement, and the Foot Soldier Project for Civil Rights Studies.

Located at 300 S. Hull Street on the University of Georgia campus, the library offers guided tours every Tuesday at 2 p.m. or by appointment.

The facility features a replica of Senator Russell's Washington office and Art Rosenbaum's mural 'Doors' depicting Georgia's political landscape.
