The first set of records cover Callaway's congressional campaign in 1964 and gubernatorial campaign in 1966. They are divided into subject files, press files, legislative files, districts and counties, and clippings. The legislative files include profiles on members of the Georgia General Assembly which were drafted by Callaway's staff when it became apparent that the choice for governor would be made by that body. The clippings are extensive and are filed under several categories, including names, issues, and dates. They represent out-of-state publications, as well as many major Georgia newspapers.
The Republican Party files document Callaway's work with the Republican National Committee, and his interaction with state and local party leaders-in Georgia . The sub-series is divided into two segments: National Republican Party and the Republican Party of Georgia. Callaway's activities connected with the presidential election of 1968 are filed under the Republican Party of Georgia with the heading "Nixon for President."
Also included are few files of correspondence documenting Callaway's time as chairman (1987-1993) of GOPAC, a national organization dedicated exclusively to electing Republicans to state and local offices.
