School records in the collection include “School Term Reports,” which were completed by teachers at the end of each school year, spanning from 1894 through 1961. The reports include physical information about the school building as well as a listing of students attending the school, by grade in later years. The collection also includes information compiled about former students, teachers, and staff, including newspaper obituaries, mostly from the early 2000s.

Information used to organize the reunions, including mailing lists and advertising flyers, is included in the collection, as well as several newspaper articles announcing the reunions and reporting on them. One folder includes correspondence to the compilers about the reunions and about the history of the school and village.

One folder includes information about late twentieth century issues in Starkey: the sale of Crescent Heights Water Works (1987-1992); the opening of South County Library (2011-12), and the expansion of the Friendship Health facility (2016).
]]> Roanoke County, 1866]]> Interviewee: Lisa Lamphier
Date: 17 July 2023
Duration: 34:09
Transcription prepared by: Katie Stueckle]]>
Earlier items are included, such as financial records for the committee from 1922-43 and membership lists from 1939 and 1940. A notebook of minutes, member lists, and ephemera related to the organization was compiled by Frances M. Cocke, 1954-59; a spiral bound transcription notebook containing minutes, 1956-61, is labeled with Belinda Spindle’s (Mrs. C. Shelbune Spindle) name, but others appear to have used it. Items related to typescript histories written by members and donated to the Roanoke Library in 1956 are included as well.
The items from Mrs. Ellet’s time as chairman include general correspondence and information related to the committee’s fiftieth anniversary (1968) luncheon and tour in Fincastle, VA, as well as programs and documents from national conventions. Additionally, a number of publications from the Virginia and national organizations, including histories of both, are included in the collection.
The collection also includes membership election certificates 1955-73, arranged alphabetically by member name.
]]> The collection includes club-related documents from its founding in 1952 through its dissolution in 2005. It consists primarily of the Williamson Road Woman’s Club historian’s scrapbooks from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1990s, and information collected by club officers in the 1980s and 2000s, received in binders and folders. Club Yearbooks are included for most years from 1952-53 through 1975-76; each of these includes a brief summary of the club’s activities of the prior year and a listing of officers and members. Aside from those reports, there is little coverage of the 1970s or the early 1980s.
Scrapbooks include newspaper clippings about the club and its activities, documents related to club activities, correspondence received by the club, and photographs of club members and activities. Later scrapbooks included obituaries and funeral programs for former members of the organization.
Scrapbooks from the 1950s and 1960s are in very fragile condition. One scrapbook that contained copies of the annual yearbooks was disassembled; its covers with writing were copied and retained, and the yearbooks and two photos from the scrapbook placed in file folders. For the remainder of these scrapbooks, all pages were scanned to digital format. Photographs were removed from the albums and placed in file folders. The scrapbooks have been retained in storage boxes, but researchers should primarily consult the digital versions of these items.
Material from three-ring binders and “magnetic” photo albums from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s was removed and placed in file folders. When arrangement on a page with identifying information was important, a photocopy was made of the page and included in the file. Newspaper clippings were replaced by photocopies of the clippings. Items were kept together in the order they were removed from the binders or albums, which was generally chronological, though photographs were assembled in photo storage pages and placed at the end of the file.
]]> ]]>
The early scrapbooks were compiled by Maggie Jane Dull Crute (1868-1950), wife of Samuel L. Crute (1839-193), a Confederate veteran and active leader in the William Watts Camp of Confederate Veterans. Mrs. Crute was very active in the UDC and also served on the state pension board for veterans and widows. These albums largely consist of newspaper articles related to Confederate veterans’ issues, including many obituaries and biographies, as well as the activities of the UDC and items related to Civil War history. There are a few photographs in the albums, but individuals are generally unidentified.

The collection also includes the minute book of the William Watts Camp of Confederate Veterans from its founding in 1891 through 1912. In addition, the collection includes over two hundred Certificates of Eligibility for the Southern Cross of Honor, a medal awarded by the UDC to living veterans.

Materials from binders that could be easily disassembled were placed in file folders. In the case of “magnetic” photo albums, digital images were made of pages prior to disassembly. Most scrapbooks consist of acidic paper and largely contain newspaper articles. Each scrapbook was digitized. The method of attachment of items varied; in later books photographs could be and were removed, but in earlier scrapbooks removal of items would have caused irreparable damage. Scrapbooks have been preserved, but researchers should primarily consult the digital files.

AAUW is a nationwide network of more than 100,000 members and donors, 1,000 branches, and 600 college/university institution partners.

For 130 years, AAUW members have examined and taken positions on the fundamental issues of the day — educational, social, economic, and political. Our commitment to our mission is reflected in all aspects of our work.
AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.]]> Five yearbooks remain largely intact (1942, 1956-57, 1959-60, 1960-61, and 1961-62); inserted and loose materials were removed to folders. Digital copies were made of the yearbooks and should be primarily consulted by researchers, due to the fragility of the scrapbook pages. The items in two scrapbooks (1964-67 and 1968-69) were mostly loose from their pages, except for newspaper articles. Digital copies were made of these pages with items placed where they had previously been attached. Items were then removed to folders, except for the newspaper articles.
The scrapbooks primarily consist of newspaper and journal articles, and national, state, and local UDC ephemera. These items document the activities of the UDC, the history and memorialization of the Civil War and its veterans, and other facets of Southern and Southwestern Virginia history. Later scrapbooks include photographs of UDC events, members, and memorials.
Chapter yearbooks include lists of officers and members and topics of meetings; some also include by-laws. Yearbooks from the 1940s through 1960s were found within scrapbooks; yearbooks for 1980-82 and from 1991-2000 were donated separately but placed with this collection.

The yearbooks include lists of officers, committee chairs, and members; the club constitution and by-laws; a history of the prior year’s activities; and a program for the coming year’s activities. Some include photographs of the club meeting place and club leaders.

The scrapbook documents the club’s and Mrs. Creasy’s activities and district, state, and national events attended, through ephemera, newspaper clippings, correspondence received, and a few photographs (no identification of individuals). Also included in the scrapbook are some of Mrs. Creasy’s hand-written speaking notes, as well as many issues of the club’s monthly newsletter. A digital copy of the scrapbook was made. Many non-newspaper items were loose and were removed from the scrapbook to box 1, folders 1 and 2.
