The Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies has launched a new database of research finding aids-a new way to assist researchers in finding primary source materials.
Powered by the open-source application eXtensible Text Framework, the database allows patrons to conduct full-text searches of collection finding aids, browse by subject and browse alphabetically by collection title and collection creator. This quick search tool not only makes the library’s collections more accessible for off-site users but also enables all patrons to target collections that are most relevant to their areas of interest. The collections document the political activities of modern Georgia through papers, printed material, electronic records, photographs, sound recordings, film, editorial cartoons, artifacts and oral history.
