The J. Frank Myers Papers, 1945-1976 (bulk 1951-1958), document Myers' involvement in politics, community groups and economic development in Americus and Sumter County, Georgia. Organized in two series, 1. Civic and Political Organizations and 2. Personal File, the materials are arranged by subject and are loosely filed alphabetically. The papers consist of correspondence, legal, personal, and founding documents, newspaper clippings, photographs, audiovisual materials, brochures, area maps, and a menu from The Varsity Restaurant. Since Myers played leadership roles in many of the organizations represented as well as in the Americus, Georgia community, much of the material is interrelated.
