The collection consists of media appearances, which began on radio in 1930. These appearances include not only campaign-related activities but also many talk shows, award presentations, Senate Recording Studio releases, news conferences, and turning points in Russell's career.

Russell: Georgia Giant," contains numerous hours of interviews (edited and unedited) with Russell and several historical background films that went into the making of the 3-hour documentary. There are subject analyses for these materials. Sound recordings have been transcribed and have an index for names; there are reel-to-reel archival copies and cassette user copies.
