Two-Party Georgia Oral History Project
Collection Description
Historical note
Dr. Ashton Ellett is the creator and principal interviewer for this project. His dissertation research focused on the development of the Republican Party in Georgia since World War II. The oral history project continues the scope of this research focus, with a more contemporary view of bipartisan party politics. Dr. Katie Schank and Seth Clark are also interviewers for this project.
Scope and Content
The 
Two-Party 
Georgia Oral History Project documents how the Georgia Republican Party grew from a small grassroots party during an era of Democratic dominance into the state's premiere political organization and governing party over the course of the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Interview participants represent current and former Republican and Democratic political figures who were active contributors or commenters on this transformation between 1952-2016, with a primary focus on the years post-1974.The collection documents the personal experiences and insights of the candidates, officeholders, activists, organizers, strategists, and analysts who participated in those key campaigns, intraparty conflicts, policy debates, and legislative battles. It also documents the accounts of the journalists and scholars who have chronicled these activities and achievements.
