Dr. Michael S. Martin is a history professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Receiving both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University (then University of Southwestern Louisiana), he received his Ph.D. in History at the University of Arkansas in 2003. He returned to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette shortly afterward and has taught there ever since, earning the rank of Professor of History. He currently holds the Cheryl Courrégé/Board of Regents Professorship in History, is the managing editor of the historical journal Louisiana History, and formerly served as director of the Center for Louisiana Studies. His research interests include Louisiana history, public history, and history of the U.S. South. His publications include Russell Long: A Life in Politics (2014), Louisiana Beyond Black and White: Recent Interpretations of Twentieth-Century Race and Race Relations (as editor, 2011), and Historic Lafayette (2007).
The materials in this collection include Dr. Martin’s research on his political biography of Russell B. Long, a U.S. Senator and member of Louisiana’s most influential political family. Research files consist mostly of Long speeches photocopied from the Congressional Record spanning from 1949 to the mid-1980s, along with some news articles and hand-written notes. These are arranged alphabetically by topic devised by the creator to preserve the context in which the materials were researched and assembled. Manuscript files include Dr. Martin’s article and book drafts, excerpts, publishing correspondence and documents, and notes on index cards from various published texts and from the RBL 3700 collection at LSU archives. The third series consist of about 60 color 3x5” photographs taken by Dr. Martin of historic buildings in or around downtown Lafayette, Louisiana.
Dr. Michael Martin donated this collection.
