I’m excited to share the long lists of collections that are newly processed or whose collection overviews and inventories have been upgraded in the first five months of 2017. Eight student assistants work on processing Special Collections materials, along with myself and occasional assistance from the rest of the Special Collections team (archival work takes a village, too!)
Collection overviews, also known as finding aids, that are newly available online include the following manuscript and University records collections:
- American Association of University Professors, WFU Chapter Records (RG9.2)
- Baptist State Convention of North Carolina Reel-to-Reel Tapes Collection (BSCRG6.1)
- Baptist State Convention of North Carolina Videocassette Collection (BSCRG6.2)
- George Carl and Cordie Phillips Loven Papers (MS685)
- John H. Memory Collection of Riverton, N.C., History (MS866)
- University News Clippings (RG3.2.1)
- Robert Burton Diary (MS653)
- Roy L. and Barbara Hood Papers (MS352)
- Student Government Records (RG8.19)
- University Photography Records (RG3.10.2)
- Winston-Salem Journal/Media General Market Analysis Collection (MS869)
- World War I Collection (MS871)
A number of collection overviews have also been updated this semester, including – but not limited to – the following:
- Ayers Family Papers (MS248)
- Charles Jefferson Black Papers (MS8)
- Ecumenical Institute, Oscar Burnett Records (RG13.2)

Thanks for all the hard work by you and our students!
Kudos! That is a long and impressive list! Thanks for this awesome work! (and for keeping us up to date on what’s happening in SC&A!)
We have such interesting collections in SCA! I want to explore the Fries Woolen Mill Diary. Is it the same building/business as described in Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fries_Cotton_Mill. Would you ever link to your diary from Wikipedia?
Susan, yes, we would – but of course it takes time and training to link our finding aids to other sources! There is a Wiki citation style for linking to finding aids, though, and Wiki has a fairly robust library, archives, and museums (LAMs) community.
