The Correspondence Management System (CMS) Series, formerly known as the Subject Correspondence Series, is named for the central filing system that was used by Senator Strom Thurmond's office for all incoming and outgoing correspondence between 1976 and 1988. The CMS Series covers this period with some overlaps with the Subject Correspondence files for 1976. Correspondence from 1989 through 2002 is included in the Constituent Correspondence Series.
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.
