Scrapbook. "Thomas B. Murphy. Speaker. House of Representatives. 1990"
Scope and Contents note
Thirty-four scrapbooks compiled by Wiley Nixon and Jeanne Moon Hill, with the help of Ms. Clara Griffin from the House Information Office who clipped articles from the newspapers.
The scrapbooks were originally kept in Thomas B. Murphy's office in the Georgia State Capitol, under and around his large oval conference table. After Speaker Murphy departed his office, his family kept the scrapbooks. On 8 December 2011, Carol Murphy and Chad Long delivered the scrapbooks to Catherine Hendricks to be placed in the Murphy Office replica within Ingram Library. Because of concerns about dust and exposure to light, the scrapbooks were then moved to Ingram Library's Special Collections in May 2015.
