Ulrich Bonnell Phillips (1877-1934) was an author and historian who focused on the South and slavery.

The collection contains professional and personal correspondence of Ulrich Bonnell Phillips (1877-1934). Included are typed transcriptions (167 items) of letters to and from other historians, scholars, and friends, a few items about his trip to the Sudan in 1929, and a few short essays or speeches. The transcriptions were made in 1940 by Professor Wendell Holmes Stephenson (born 1899) from the originals, some of which have been destroyed. Also included are 39 manuscript letters and correspondence of Phillips, 1903-1910, with George Johnson Baldwin (1856-1927), Lucien H. Boggs, and others about the Georgia Historical Society; and typed transcriptions of interviews conducted in 1974 with people who had known and worked with Phillips.
