He was a nationally known costume designer, museum costume historian and conservator.","He received a degree in education from Concord University in 1953. His career as an educator also took him to Saudi Arabia to teach English as a second language for eight years, as well as to Vietnam and China. He then taught for many years at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.","While teaching in Winston-Salem, Ballard was asked to become curator of the costume collection at the Reynolda House Museum, the former R.J. Reynolds estate. He continued to do costume curation and conservation work at several major museums in the South. Leftover scraps of fabric from his work with costumes inspired him to create dolls whose clothing exemplified authentic period fashions. His work in teaching, painting, and costumes led his to friendships with a wide variety of people, including Sarah Churchill, Vivien Leigh, and King Hussein of Jordan.","The recipient of many awards and honors for his work in multiple fields, Ballard was named one of the Outstanding Educators in America (1970). His work with costumes earned the Award of Merit from the North Carolina Historic Preservation Society (1978) and a Gold Award from the National Retail Merchants Associates (1978). He was named Concord University's Golden Alumnus in 2007. His West Virginia awards include the Order of the Arts and Historical Letters from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History (2006), the Distinguished West Virginian Award (2007), and the Order of the 35th Star (2010). He also chaired the Coal Heritage Highway Authority (2002).","Professional and personal papers of Arthur J. \"Pete\" Ballard, a teacher, museum curator, and costume artist.

He was a nationally known costume designer, museum costume historian and conservator.","He received a degree in education from Concord University in 1953. His career as an educator also took him to Saudi Arabia to teach English as a second language for eight years, as well as to Vietnam and China. He then taught for many years at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.","While teaching in Winston-Salem, Ballard was asked to become curator of the costume collection at the Reynolda House Museum, the former R.J. Reynolds estate. He continued to do costume curation and conservation work at several major museums in the South. Leftover scraps of fabric from his work with costumes inspired him to create dolls whose clothing exemplified authentic period fashions. His work in teaching, painting, and costumes led his to friendships with a wide variety of people, including Sarah Churchill, Vivien Leigh, and King Hussein of Jordan.","The recipient of many awards and honors for his work in multiple fields, Ballard was named one of the Outstanding Educators in America (1970). His work with costumes earned the Award of Merit from the North Carolina Historic Preservation Society (1978) and a Gold Award from the National Retail Merchants Associates (1978). He was named Concord University's Golden Alumnus in 2007. His West Virginia awards include the Order of the Arts and Historical Letters from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History (2006), the Distinguished West Virginian Award (2007), and the Order of the 35th Star (2010). He also chaired the Coal Heritage Highway Authority (2002).","Professional and personal papers of Arthur J. \"Pete\" Ballard, a teacher, museum curator, and costume artist. He taught at the North Carolina School of the Arts, curated the costume collection at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and exhibited his work as a painter and costume artist.

Their comfortable Uniontown, Pennsylvania home provided a secure environment for young George to learn and develop his talents in art and literature. George's father also wasted no time pouring into his young son his love for hunting, bird dogs, and the outdoor life. George Bird Evans attended Carnegie Institute to pursue a career in art. He later transferred to the Art Institute of Chicago, staying for two years before moving to New York in 1927 to establish a career as an illustrator, but not alone. He had met and married Kay Harris from Wheeling; their marriage would last for over seventy years. In New York George Evans found success as an illustrator. He also included trips home for the hunt of game on Chestnut Ridge during hunting season. George started keeping a \"gun diary\" or journal in 1932, recording every outing for hunting, shooting, or bird dog training over the next 65 years. The Evans loved the Chestnut Ridge area, leaving New York in 1939 to buy a farm in Preston County, West Virginia, naming their new homestead \"Old Hemlock\". George enjoyed working out of his new surroundings, mailing his work to publishers in New York and having time to roam and hunt with Kay and their dogs.","This ideal life was interrupted by World War II when George volunteered his services and was commissioned a Lieutenant J.G. in Navy. He used his talents by illustrating equipment repair manuals, substituting pictures for complicated language. After the war George and Kay chose to venture into writing mystery novels as a team under the pen name \"Brandon Bird\". It was a success. The Evans were also beginning to breed Belton English Setters in their quest for the best bird dog possible. In 1956 George started using his journal as a source for articles, publishing over a hundred over the next forty two years. In 1971 his first book, \"The Upland Shooting Life\", was published, achieving status as a classic. Twenty seven more upland shooting books followed. Most of the photographs published with the articles and books were taken by Kay Evans. Always careful with their projects, George and Kay Evans began publishing their own books in 1983 under the name \"Old Hemlock\". George Bird Evans died in May, 1998 at the age of ninety-one. He had been hunting only a few weeks before with his best friend Kay and their family of bird dogs.","Papers of George Bird Evans, including records documenting his career as an author of books and articles regarding bird dog hunting, and as a breeder of his own line of Belton English Setter bird dogs called the \"Old Hemlock Line\" in partnership with his wife, Kay Evans. There are also records regarding his career as a magazine illustrator, including his original art works (32 oversize drawings) that were published with fiction that appeared in several popular women's magazines before and after World War II (including \"Cosmopolitan\" and \"McCall's\" among others). The collaborative writing career of George and Kay Evans under the pen name of \"Brandon Bird\" is documented in a scrapbook (ca.1950-1962) containing photographs, clippings, and book reviews regarding their five published mystery novels.","The collection includes a journal, which Evans referred to as his \"Gun Diary\", with entries ranging from 1932 to 1997 where Evans recorded and illustrated his hunting, fishing, and bird dog training excursions for 65 years. There are also several periodicals, such as \"Field and Stream\", \"The Pointing Dog Journal\", and \"Gun Dog\", among others, most issues contain articles by George Bird Evans and a few by Kay Evans. Other materials include extensive correspondence with publishers, friends, outdoor sports writers, hunters and breeders (such as Nash Buckingham, Dr. Charles Norris, and Dr. Gordon Gullion), and patrons of his bird dog breeding business. There are several manuscripts and galleys of published books, including \"The Upland Shooting Life\" and \"The Best of Nash Buckingham\", among others. There are also financial records regarding the publication and sales of his books, videos, and cassette tapes. The collection also includes 188 digital scans of illustrations by Evans on DVD discs (3 items), audio recordings (2 cassette tapes) of readings by George and Kay Evans, and oversized framed photographs and art pieces (7 items) of George Bird Evans, his wife Kay, and their dogs.","Series include:","Series 1.

George enjoyed working out of his new surroundings, mailing his work to publishers in New York and having time to roam and hunt with Kay and their dogs.","This ideal life was interrupted by World War II when George volunteered his services and was commissioned a Lieutenant J.G. in Navy. He used his talents by illustrating equipment repair manuals, substituting pictures for complicated language. After the war George and Kay chose to venture into writing mystery novels as a team under the pen name \"Brandon Bird\". It was a success. The Evans were also beginning to breed Belton English Setters in their quest for the best bird dog possible. In 1956 George started using his journal as a source for articles, publishing over a hundred over the next forty two years. In 1971 his first book, \"The Upland Shooting Life\", was published, achieving status as a classic. Twenty seven more upland shooting books followed. Most of the photographs published with the articles and books were taken by Kay Evans. Always careful with their projects, George and Kay Evans began publishing their own books in 1983 under the name \"Old Hemlock\". George Bird Evans died in May, 1998 at the age of ninety-one.

Va.)","Art and artists","Special access restriction applies.","James Edward Davis (1901-1974), more often referred to as Jim Davis, was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia and was a member of the prominent Davis family, which also included politician John W. Davis (Democratic Presidential candidate of 1924) and author Julia Davis. Davis began studying art at Princeton University, where he would later return to teach. He continued his education first at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later in Paris, France. Davis had a prolific and varied artistic career as a painter, photographer, and film-maker. He was particularly fascinated with motion, which led him to evolve a style featuring motion pictures of abstract patterns of colored light. Davis also made documentary films, including ones about his friends and fellow artists, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the painter John Marin. (Notes for the documentaries are in this collection, but not the films themselves.)","See control folder for further information regarding Davis, including a copy of the West Virginia and Regional History Collection newsletter containing an article regarding Davis and this collection.","Artwork, photography, and papers of James Edward Davis, an artist born in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Davis (Democratic Presidential candidate of 1924) and author Julia Davis. Davis began studying art at Princeton University, where he would later return to teach. He continued his education first at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later in Paris, France. Davis had a prolific and varied artistic career as a painter, photographer, and film-maker. He was particularly fascinated with motion, which led him to evolve a style featuring motion pictures of abstract patterns of colored light. Davis also made documentary films, including ones about his friends and fellow artists, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the painter John Marin. (Notes for the documentaries are in this collection, but not the films themselves.)","See control folder for further information regarding Davis, including a copy of the West Virginia and Regional History Collection newsletter containing an article regarding Davis and this collection.","Artwork, photography, and papers of James Edward Davis, an artist born in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

He was the recipient of numerous awards, including four grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.","Known internationally for his functional porcelain shinoware, Davis taught and lectured widely throughout the U.S., Canada, and Italy.

He was raised by his mother, Lolita, and father, Ellis, who worked for the Meadow River Lumber Company in Rainelle, WV. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1951. He then studied briefly with Egon Weiner and Alexander Archipenko at the Art Institute of Chicago, which had a profound impact on his art. He earned an internship with Kenneth Olson, and remained on staff for ten years. In early 1962, he relocated to Seattle, Washington (WA), and was a principal at the Berg, Hayslette, Dupar design firm.","Following art school much of Hayslette's work was in the field of industrial design. He completed a variety of projects, including work with Herbert Bayer on the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia in the late 1950s, the design of four pavilions for World's Fairs from 1962 to 1974, and work with New York design firm Walter Dorwin Teague on a project for the Boeing Company's Design and Developmental Center in Seattle, WA. In 1973, Hayslette founded Olympus Atelier and Olympus Graphics, Inc., a silk screen printing business, on Bainbridge Island, WA.","In the late 2000s, Hayslette was asked by the Rainelle Area Planning Commission to help the town's historical restoration efforts. His resulting painting of the Meadow River Lumber Company mill, donated to the Planning Commission for auction and print sales, helped raise money for the restoration project.","Hayslette is known for his abstract, modernist works as well as his landscapes. He frequently cites the influence of and draws inspiration from Asian masters. He has traveled extensively in Europe to paint, particularly in southern France and northern Italy. Through his longtime partnership with Larry Winn, Hayslette's works have been available through Winn Devon Art Group, and are currently available through Grand Image.","Papers of artist Max Hayslette, native West Virginian and longtime resident of Washington, documenting his early life, his travels, and his work in industrial design and painting.

He was raised by his mother, Lolita, and father, Ellis, who worked for the Meadow River Lumber Company in Rainelle, WV. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1951. He then studied briefly with Egon Weiner and Alexander Archipenko at the Art Institute of Chicago, which had a profound impact on his art. He earned an internship with Kenneth Olson, and remained on staff for ten years. In early 1962, he relocated to Seattle, Washington (WA), and was a principal at the Berg, Hayslette, Dupar design firm.","Following art school much of Hayslette's work was in the field of industrial design. He completed a variety of projects, including work with Herbert Bayer on the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia in the late 1950s, the design of four pavilions for World's Fairs from 1962 to 1974, and work with New York design firm Walter Dorwin Teague on a project for the Boeing Company's Design and Developmental Center in Seattle, WA. In 1973, Hayslette founded Olympus Atelier and Olympus Graphics, Inc., a silk screen printing business, on Bainbridge Island, WA.","In the late 2000s, Hayslette was asked by the Rainelle Area Planning Commission to help the town's historical restoration efforts. His resulting painting of the Meadow River Lumber Company mill, donated to the Planning Commission for auction and print sales, helped raise money for the restoration project.","Hayslette is known for his abstract, modernist works as well as his landscapes. He frequently cites the influence of and draws inspiration from Asian masters. He has traveled extensively in Europe to paint, particularly in southern France and northern Italy. Through his longtime partnership with Larry Winn, Hayslette's works have been available through Winn Devon Art Group, and are currently available through Grand Image.","Papers of artist Max Hayslette, native West Virginian and longtime resident of Washington, documenting his early life, his travels, and his work in industrial design and painting. There is a scrapbook from his youth in Rupert, West Virginia, prints of his artwork, photographs documenting his travels, and articles and news clippings about him and his work. Also included are items related to his donation of a painting to the Rainelle Area Planning Commission to assist with their town restoration (in West Virginia).
