The collection consists of clippings, printed material, manuscripts, photographs, correspondence, and ephemera. This collection documents a broad range of events, activities, people, and places in the state of Georgia from the earliest Native American settlements through the early 1980s and, specifically, the history of senators in Georgia through the late 1970s. The majority of the material draws from popular secondary sources such as news clippings and chamber of commerce brochures and pamphlets and published articles.

There is a collection of published books that are also part of this collection.
