Lawmakers donate papers to UGA’s Russell Library

State Representatives Pedro Marin and Brenda Lopez, both Democrats from Gwinnett County, have donated their legislative papers to the University of Georgia: the papers will be housed in UGA’s Richard Russell Library for Political Research and Studies.

“This partnership marks a milestone in meeting the library’s commitment to collect materials that comprehensively document the full spectrum of political life and public policy in Georgia,” Russell Library director Sheryl Vogt said in a statement.

“Our project also helps fulfill the university’s mission to serve all the people of this state. Historical materials and memories from the Latino and Hispanic communities will be invaluable testimony to the achievements of these Georgians.”
