Showing Collections: 391 - 400 of 481
Shelton Family Papers
This collection consists entirely of postcards found in the Postcard Collection that were addressed to Nannie Shelton or Mr. And Mrs. A. J. Shelton. We are not certain if the two Sheltons are related but have combined them for ease of access. The postcards come from Canada, New Mexico and Maine. There is also one Christmas postcard that was printed in Germany.
Shirley Family Papers
Mostly receipts from the Shirley family of Monroe County, Kentucky, but also a letter from a brother in Texas back home to Kentucky.
Sammie Short Yearbooks
This collection includes two yearbooks belonging to Sammie Short while she was a student at Eastern. The volumes include extensive inscriptions including detailed descriptions of events that happened during her student days and because of this are processed as their own collection.
Shropshire Circus Collection
The Shropshire Collection includes a large variety of circus material from the early to mid 1900s that was donated to the Dorris Museum by Mrs. James Shropshire. When the Dorris Museum closed, the collection was transferred to Special Collections and Archives. The items within the collection include photos of performers and circus snapshots, post cards, circus newspapers, programs and newspaper clippings, as well as lifetime circus passes and tickets.
Virginia Price Simpson Papers
This is a collection of photocopied materials primarily about the Price family of Jessamine County, KY. The records seem to document the ancestry of Virginia Price Simpson in her effort to join the Daughters of the American Revolution and focus primarily on her direct ancestor, William Price. The news clippings show her interest in Jessamine County history and cover many topics. Interspersed with the news clippings are several programs from early schools in the county.
Charles R. Smith Collection
This collection consists of scans from a selection of photographs, postcards and ephemera from Charles R. Smith. Most are from Madison County, Kentucky and include images of people and places. Of note are the photos of many of the Elks Club exalted rulers between the years 1902 and 1996. Most of the pamphlets and programs are related to local churches such as First Baptist and First Christian. All materials were digitized and returned to Mr. Smith.
George D. Smith Papers
Mary Hieronymous Smith Papers
The Mary Hieronymous Smith Papers were separated from the Jimmy Taylor Photographs as they included personal letters written to her at Taylor's business address. The collection consists mostly of photographs of Mary with friends, many of which show a party culture most likely in Chicago. One letter provides insights into Christmas and family life in the late 1940s. The other letter includes a discussion of a young man's plans after college graduation at the same time period.
Society for Collegiate Journalists
This collection includes the conference program from the 1979 convention held at Eastern Kentucky University as well as certificates for two members and the manual for Alpha Phi Gamma, honorary organization for collegiate journalists.
Sons of the American Revolution
