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.
This collection contains research materials collected by Marilyn W. Thompson for a book she co-wrote with author Jack Bass entitled Ol’ Strom: An Unauthorized Biography of Strom Thurmond.
