Newt Gingrich scrapbooks donated

Sepember 24, 3004

CARROLLTON, GA - Audrey Bray, retired special assistant and office manager for former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich in his Coweta County office, donated valuable scrapbooks to the Ingram Library Special Collections/Archives Department at the University of West Georgia. According to Dr. Mel Steely, director of the Georgia's Political Heritage Program, the scrapbooks are invaluable to those doing research on Gingrich's domestic policies and on his various reelection campaigns. While working for Gingrich, Bray collected campaign and congressional materials and filled over a half dozen scrapbooks in chronological order. Prior to her donation, the books were on loan to the Newnan Public Library where they were put on exhibit to the public. Examining the collection are (l-r) Steely, Bray, Mark McManus, associate director of universities libraries, and Myron House, Special Collections librarian. UWG’s Special Collections/Archives Department houses Gingrich’s entire political collection.
