Elbert P. Tuttle papers, 1917-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122517636

The collection consists of the judicial papers of Elbert P. Tuttle from 1952-1995. The papers include correspondence, docket books, records relating to court administration, case files and opinions, and a small number of personal papers. Except for one Republican Party folder dated from 1936-1946 and two photographs from the personal papers dated 1918 and 1950, none of the materials predate 1952 and most coverage begins after 1953-1954. The bulk of the collection is comprised of case files and opinions, 1957-1994. Of particular interest among these files are the records relating to a number of important civil rights related cases from the early 1960s. The correspondence, ca. 1936-1995, including incoming mail and carbon copy responses, is varied and ranges from fan mail to substantative discussion of social, political, and personal matters. It also documents Tuttle's involvement with several college and university boards, including Cornell, Morehouse, Spelman, the Inter-Denominational Theological Seminary and other parts of the predominantly black Atlanta University Center. There is also correspondence pertaining to law related events and organizations not connected with court administration and to Tuttle's commemorations, anniversaries, and awards. The papers also include docket books maintained by Judge Tuttle to record conference and en banc vote tallies as well as cases before the 5th/ 11th Circuit from 1954-1990. Also present are records of the administration of the Circuit Court, its courthouses, and Tuttle's functional relation to the court system. A small group of personal papers, comprised mainly of photogaphs from 1918-1994, document selected activities primarily during the 1950s and 1960s in which Tuttle was involved.
