Review:
The Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies is one of three Special Collections Libraries within the campus of the University of Georgia at Athens, housing political and historic documents related to the development and chronology of the modern American political system. Visitors can explore the library's public exhibits for free throughout the week and learn about the history of Georgia's modern politics and civic life. Exhibits include interactive kiosks that offer access to historical audiovisual recordings and oral histories connected to the state's political figures and events. A replica of Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr.'s political office is showcased, along with a beautiful political mural by artist Art Rosenbaum. Rotating exhibits are also showcased within the library's lobby area, on display at all times during normal business hours. Guided group tours of the library and its exhibits are offered on Tuesday afternoons.
