The material in the Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series includes correspondence (both official and personal), campaign material, speeches and other items documenting Strom Thurmond's term as Governor of South Carolina from 1946-1951. Some of this material was originally part of the holdings of the South Caroliniana Library of The University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.

Correspondence, invitations, clippings and other material during the period between Thurmond's resignation from the Senate in April 1956 and his re-election to the Senate in November 1956. Includes veterans inquiries and referrels to interim Senator Thomas Wofford's office. Subjects covered include states' rights and the "bootlegging" of automobiles into Spartanburg County.

The Pinks series was the cross-reference file for subject correspondence generated by Senator Strom Thurmond's office for the period 1954-1976 before the introduction of the centralized Correspondence Management System by the Senate Computer Center in 1976. The original cross-reference files consisted of pink colored carbon paper copies-hence, the "Pinks" series.

The Subject Correspondence series is named for the central file used by Senator Strom Thurmond's office before changing over to a computerized filing system, the Correspondence Management Series (CMS), in 1976. Some subjects from the Subject Correspondence series for 1976 may overlap into the CMS series.

This collection documents the departmental records of the Clemson University libraries.

The Wofford B. Camp Papers consist of subject correspondence files, magazine articles, speech memorabilia, newspaper clippings, and photographs documenting Camp's career from his days as a student at Clemson Agriculture College through the operation of the W. B. Camp & Sons Inc. agribusiness in California.
