future generations of histo
rians.
“We are very excited to be
getting these papers,” said
Sheryl B. Vogt, director of
the Richard B. Russell
Library for Political
Research and Studies at
UGA. “I first spoke to Rep.
Walker about him donating
the papers about eight years
ago. We are very lucky to get
them.”
Vogt said the papers will
be an invaluable tool for
researchers.
“A lot happened in
Georgia politics during the
(32) years Rep. Walker was
in office, and he was in the
middle of most of it,” said
Vogt. “These papers will be
an important tool to put
those years into perspec
tive.”

Vogt said that Walker’s
papers would become a part
of the collection in the
Russell Library.
“The Russell Library has
over 130 collections of
papers from politicians,
political parties, public poli
cy organizations, federal
and state appointees, and
political observers from
modern Georgia,” Vogt said.
“At the Russell Library we
preserve, arrange, and make
accessible the personal
papers of individuals
involved in shaping the
political life of Georgia. The
Library’s collections provide
significant documentation
of the broad spectrum of
political activities of modern
Georgia through correspon
dence, speeches, drafts of
legislation, policy planning
materials and poling data,

agreed, saying the money
should be put in the city’s
water and sewage fund.
“We should use SPLOST
funds allotted for recreation
to projects such as that. The
money should be used to
lower water funds, and get
those rates down for every
one,” Kusar said.
The issue will be discussed
at a later council meeting.

Vogt said that the papers
would be inventoried and
then catalogued so that
researchers would be able to
make best use of them.
How did Walker feel about
seeing over three decades of
his life being put into a van
and hauled off?
“I feel good about it,” said
Walker. “I am proud some
body wants it and can make
use of it. I hope it will be
helpful to researchers. The
papers will show how I
interacted with state leaders
over the years and give peo
ple the background on some
of the things that happened
during those years.
“I am not sad at all,”
Walker said.
