Perhaps the most striking element of the Russell Library's central gallery is mural on the back wall. Titled, "Doors" the mural was created by artist Art Rosenbaum. The work tells the story of modern Georgia politics from 1900 to the present (moving from left to right), and depicts many of the major figures and events that shaped the state during this period. The final section (on the far right) of the mural shows staff members from the Russell Library engaged in their day-to-day operations in the archives: processing collections, filming oral histories, teaching students, and more. All this is done to collect, preserve, and provide access to our materials.
