He entered VMI on November 11, 1839 and graduated on July 4, 1842, standing 12th of 16 graduates. After graduation, he began a career as a teacher, which he continued until his death on December 21, 1894, in Leesburg.","Virginia Military Institute \nNov. 30, 1839 \nDear Father and Mother","I received your letter of the 21st yesterday, being the first I have got since I left home, and you may be sure it gave me much pleasure. I have just returned from exploring the dusky halls of the old Arsenal. There are deposited in this arsenal at which we are stationed fifty six thousand stand of arms including a vast number of old rifles, muskets, pistols, and dragoon swords. The value of the whole is estimated at about seven hundred thousand dollars so you see we have great responsibility resting upon us for this property is confided to our immediate care.","The method of instruction pursued in this Institute is the best and most efficient that could be possibly adopted. The leisure hours are from breakfast till 9 oclock, from twelve till two, from 4 till supper. There are 4 assigned to each room to pursue their respective studies to themselves; at a particular hour we are marched in squads at the beat of the drum to the recitation room where we are examined individually by Major Smith in the presence of the whole corps to see what progress we have made in our studies. If he finds us deficient in the least we get a mark of demerit besides requiring us to recite the same lesson next morning; his course of instruction is conducted on the [Peohloggian] system, by interrogating us on the particular branch we have been studying and requiring us to demonstrate it on the blackboard put up in the recitation room for that purpose.","Major Smith the principal Professor is a man of the nicest discrimination and shrewdness I ever knew. I will defy anyone to fool or dupe him, for one can't get along here otherwise than doing his duty. He is very polite and kind to the cadets but keeps them at a respective distance as is necessary in such a place this.","I have been particularly fortunate since I have been here. The third night after I came here I was appointed seargeant of the Guard and of course have not acted as sentinel one night since I entered upon duty. My service is to visit the sentinel at stated times in the night to see that he does his duty and don't sleep on post, to make off my report in the morning and present it to the Major for inspection.","I am among an excellent set of fellows. There appears to exist in the breast of every Virginian a homogeneous feeling that prompts them to treat each other like brothers and adapts them to each others company. I never saw so much kind feelings, sociability as are here among these cadets. No ill feeling or discord has occurred among them since we have been together.","I was introduced to Gen. Bernard B. Peyton the other day who told me he had known many of the family, particularly cousin James with whom he had served during the late war. He spoke in the highest terms of him as an officer and made very particular inquiries about his family.","The Corps of Cadets is increased to fifty by an accession from Washington College, each one in full uniform. We are drilled every day by the Major who is making every exertion to qualify us for a display on the 22d of February being Washington's Birthday. Our present course of instruction includes Algebra and French. Algebra is the most important part of Mathematics as it facilitates the acquisition and operations of all the succeeding branches of the Mathematics. In this department we have made great proficiency under the superior guidance and management of our able Professor Francis H. Smith. We also progress rapidly in the study of French under the instruction of Mr. Preston, Professor of Languages. He is an accomplished scholar and gentleman, treats us with the utmost politeness and kindness and is well qualified to discharge the duties in the department which he has the honor to fill.","Our service here is very hard especially those that do not act in the capacity of Sergeant and Corporals for their duty is nothing in comparison to the sentinel. There is appointed a guard every night by the officer of the day, one seargeant, one corporal, 3 privates constitute the guard for the night. It is mounted a 6 oclock P.M. and continued throughout the night in rotation, 2 hours allotted to each sentinel till the revilee proclaims the dawn of day. They are then discharged. No weather will excuse the sentinel from performing his duty.","I was sorry to hear that [brother] was returned again to Florida after suffering so much during his campaign last winter in that detestable county, but it was an office of his own seeking therefore he must submit to all the privations and dangers incidental to the life of a soldier. I wish him all the success in the world and a happy escape from the fatigues and dangers attendant upon a Florida campaign. Let me know about him when you write again (and send the chronicle). Your letter contained very unexpected news of the death of Mr. Peck. When I saw him last he was walking the streets of Leesburg in apparent health, but such is the uncertainty of life no situation or circumstance can exempt us from death. Let it be what it may we must go the way of all the earth sooner or later. I truly pity his large and helpless family left behind.","Tell mother I wish her to look in the Book case and get my Spanish Grammar and lock it up in her side board drawer for me. I shall want it if I ever get home. We can't see home under two years. If I can possibly get home before that time I will. Don't forget the chronicle. I never hear any Florida news at this place. Mother must write to me soon. Tell Uncle Raney I received a short letter from him this morning and will answer it as soon as I can. I have but little time to spare at this place but will write as often as I can. Tell me of John Wildman--what is he doing in Leesburg--now I wish he was here.

He entered VMI on November 11, 1839 and graduated on July 4, 1842, standing 12th of 16 graduates. After graduation, he began a career as a teacher, which he continued until his death on December 21, 1894, in Leesburg.","Virginia Military Institute \nNov. 30, 1839 \nDear Father and Mother","I received your letter of the 21st yesterday, being the first I have got since I left home, and you may be sure it gave me much pleasure. I have just returned from exploring the dusky halls of the old Arsenal. There are deposited in this arsenal at which we are stationed fifty six thousand stand of arms including a vast number of old rifles, muskets, pistols, and dragoon swords. The value of the whole is estimated at about seven hundred thousand dollars so you see we have great responsibility resting upon us for this property is confided to our immediate care.","The method of instruction pursued in this Institute is the best and most efficient that could be possibly adopted. The leisure hours are from breakfast till 9 oclock, from twelve till two, from 4 till supper. There are 4 assigned to each room to pursue their respective studies to themselves; at a particular hour we are marched in squads at the beat of the drum to the recitation room where we are examined individually by Major Smith in the presence of the whole corps to see what progress we have made in our studies. If he finds us deficient in the least we get a mark of demerit besides requiring us to recite the same lesson next morning; his course of instruction is conducted on the [Peohloggian] system, by interrogating us on the particular branch we have been studying and requiring us to demonstrate it on the blackboard put up in the recitation room for that purpose.","Major Smith the principal Professor is a man of the nicest discrimination and shrewdness I ever knew. I will defy anyone to fool or dupe him, for one can't get along here otherwise than doing his duty. He is very polite and kind to the cadets but keeps them at a respective distance as is necessary in such a place this.","I have been particularly fortunate since I have been here. The third night after I came here I was appointed seargeant of the Guard and of course have not acted as sentinel one night since I entered upon duty. My service is to visit the sentinel at stated times in the night to see that he does his duty and don't sleep on post, to make off my report in the morning and present it to the Major for inspection.","I am among an excellent set of fellows. There appears to exist in the breast of every Virginian a homogeneous feeling that prompts them to treat each other like brothers and adapts them to each others company. I never saw so much kind feelings, sociability as are here among these cadets. No ill feeling or discord has occurred among them since we have been together.","I was introduced to Gen. Bernard B. Peyton the other day who told me he had known many of the family, particularly cousin James with whom he had served during the late war. He spoke in the highest terms of him as an officer and made very particular inquiries about his family.","The Corps of Cadets is increased to fifty by an accession from Washington College, each one in full uniform. We are drilled every day by the Major who is making every exertion to qualify us for a display on the 22d of February being Washington's Birthday. Our present course of instruction includes Algebra and French. Algebra is the most important part of Mathematics as it facilitates the acquisition and operations of all the succeeding branches of the Mathematics. In this department we have made great proficiency under the superior guidance and management of our able Professor Francis H. Smith. We also progress rapidly in the study of French under the instruction of Mr. Preston, Professor of Languages. He is an accomplished scholar and gentleman, treats us with the utmost politeness and kindness and is well qualified to discharge the duties in the department which he has the honor to fill.","Our service here is very hard especially those that do not act in the capacity of Sergeant and Corporals for their duty is nothing in comparison to the sentinel. There is appointed a guard every night by the officer of the day, one seargeant, one corporal, 3 privates constitute the guard for the night. It is mounted a 6 oclock P.M. and continued throughout the night in rotation, 2 hours allotted to each sentinel till the revilee proclaims the dawn of day. They are then discharged. No weather will excuse the sentinel from performing his duty.","I was sorry to hear that [brother] was returned again to Florida after suffering so much during his campaign last winter in that detestable county, but it was an office of his own seeking therefore he must submit to all the privations and dangers incidental to the life of a soldier. I wish him all the success in the world and a happy escape from the fatigues and dangers attendant upon a Florida campaign. Let me know about him when you write again (and send the chronicle). Your letter contained very unexpected news of the death of Mr. Peck. When I saw him last he was walking the streets of Leesburg in apparent health, but such is the uncertainty of life no situation or circumstance can exempt us from death. Let it be what it may we must go the way of all the earth sooner or later. I truly pity his large and helpless family left behind.","Tell mother I wish her to look in the Book case and get my Spanish Grammar and lock it up in her side board drawer for me. I shall want it if I ever get home. We can't see home under two years. If I can possibly get home before that time I will. Don't forget the chronicle. I never hear any Florida news at this place. Mother must write to me soon. Tell Uncle Raney I received a short letter from him this morning and will answer it as soon as I can. I have but little time to spare at this place but will write as often as I can. Tell me of John Wildman--what is he doing in Leesburg--now I wish he was here.

Aksyonov was born in the Russian city of Kazan and grew up under Stalin's rule. Askyonov's parents, although devoted communists, were accused of being Trotskyites and sent to gulags when he was still a child. Aksyonov was subsequently raised in an orphanage for \"children of enemies of the state\" before moving in with his aunt and uncle, who tried to keep the truth of his parents' disappearance a secret. He spent much of his youth listening to jazz and reading American novels, which would influence his work as much as the disenchantment and paranoia of life under Stalinism. ","Though trained as a medical doctor, Vassily Aksyonov gave up his medical career in the 1960s to pursue a career as a novelist. His 1961 novel, A Ticket to the Stars, drew a great deal of praise from readers and helped launch his career. His writings quickly became controversial as they celebrated Western popular culture and criticized life under Stalin and his successors. During the 1960s he wrote several plays that were denounced by the state press for spreading \"negativism,\" and after voicing public opposition to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, no publisher would print his work for the next 12 years, during which he worked as a translator to support his family. By the 1970s, Aksyonov had become one of the most popular prose writers in Russia, but his popularity only exacerbated his low standing with the communist party, which disapproved of his criticism and revoked his citizenship in 1980, when he decided to emigrate to the United States. Aksyonov settled in Washington, DC, where he taught literature and continued to write until moving back to Russia in 2004. ","During his stay in America, Aksyonov published several novels that he had kept hidden in drawers during the 1970s, including The Burn (1980) and The Island of Crimea (1983). His later works include In Search of Melancholy Baby (1987), Say Cheese (1989), Generations of Winter (1994), The Winter's Hero (1996), and The New Sweet Style (1999). Aksyonov taught at The Johns Hopkins University and Goucher University before coming to George Mason University, where he taught from 1988 to 2004, when he moved back to Russia to live out his remaining years. He died in 2009. ","Processed by Vera Zimmerman in 2011. EAD markup completed by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty in August 2009.

Aksyonov was born in the Russian city of Kazan and grew up under Stalin's rule. Askyonov's parents, although devoted communists, were accused of being Trotskyites and sent to gulags when he was still a child. Aksyonov was subsequently raised in an orphanage for \"children of enemies of the state\" before moving in with his aunt and uncle, who tried to keep the truth of his parents' disappearance a secret. He spent much of his youth listening to jazz and reading American novels, which would influence his work as much as the disenchantment and paranoia of life under Stalinism. ","Though trained as a medical doctor, Vassily Aksyonov gave up his medical career in the 1960s to pursue a career as a novelist. His 1961 novel, A Ticket to the Stars, drew a great deal of praise from readers and helped launch his career. His writings quickly became controversial as they celebrated Western popular culture and criticized life under Stalin and his successors. During the 1960s he wrote several plays that were denounced by the state press for spreading \"negativism,\" and after voicing public opposition to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, no publisher would print his work for the next 12 years, during which he worked as a translator to support his family. By the 1970s, Aksyonov had become one of the most popular prose writers in Russia, but his popularity only exacerbated his low standing with the communist party, which disapproved of his criticism and revoked his citizenship in 1980, when he decided to emigrate to the United States. Aksyonov settled in Washington, DC, where he taught literature and continued to write until moving back to Russia in 2004. ","During his stay in America, Aksyonov published several novels that he had kept hidden in drawers during the 1970s, including The Burn (1980) and The Island of Crimea (1983). His later works include In Search of Melancholy Baby (1987), Say Cheese (1989), Generations of Winter (1994), The Winter's Hero (1996), and The New Sweet Style (1999). Aksyonov taught at The Johns Hopkins University and Goucher University before coming to George Mason University, where he taught from 1988 to 2004, when he moved back to Russia to live out his remaining years. He died in 2009. ","Processed by Vera Zimmerman in 2011. EAD markup completed by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty in August 2009.

Subseries within the series reflect the labeled dividers in the original files. Her general files are in Series I, Correspondence and Subject Files, arranged alphabetically, in boxes 1-24. Speeches by Violet McDougall Pollard, and articles by or about her, are filed in Series I under \"Speeches.\" Series II, Recreation Committee (boxes 25-26), and Series III, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts,(boxes 27-29), were at one time filed in the general sequence under R and V respectively, but have been pulled out into separate series due to their bulk.

Virginia Politics includes State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club, and Young Democrats.

For example, correspondence with and about a Virginia artist might be found under his or her name, in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts files, and in the files \"Art Exhibitions – Virginia and Virginians\" or \"Artists' Christmas Cards.\" Correspondence with a particular Virginia politician might be found under his name, in the National Politics folders, in the State Politics folders, in the Democratic Woman's Club folder because of a speaking engagement, or in another politician's folder because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence among several people and filing them as a group.","Violet Elizabeth McDougall was born on 17 July 1889, at Maxville, Ontario, Canada, daughter of Peter and Ellen (Robertson) McDougall. She attended Cornwall Normal School of Ontario and was a teacher in Ontario and Saskatchewan, 1910-1912. She then attended Regina College at Saskatchewan for a year, and was secretary in a law office from 1913-1917. She came to the United States in 1917 and was offered a position as secretary in the Virginia governor's office in 1918. She was executive secretary to four successive governors of Virginia between 1918 and 1933: Westmoreland Davis, E. Lee Trinkle, Harry F. Byrd, and John Garland Pollard. She was known affectionately as \"Miss Mac\" to her many friends."," On 31 July 1933, she married Governor Pollard, whose first wife had died in 1932. After his term in office ended in 1934, the couple moved to Washington, D.C., where he served as Chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals and she attended law school at George Washington University. Upon John Garland Pollard's death in 1937, she returned to Richmond and attended law school at the University of Richmond. She went back to Washington from 1938 to 1940, to work as secretary to the Assistant Administrator of the United States Housing Authority."," In 1940 Violet McDougall Pollard returned again to Richmond to join the staff of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which John Garland Pollard had been instrumental in creating. During World War II, the museum's director left to join the Marines, and she served as co-director (in charge of business affairs) with Beatrice von Keller (in charge of art). After the war, she was the museum's associate director until her retirement in 1956. She continued her association with the museum through museum advisory committees and through her position on the board of the Federated Arts Council of Richmond until about 1971."," Long interested in politics and maintaining a wide circle of friends in Virginia political circles from her years on the governor's staff, Violet McDougall Pollard became active in the Democratic Party after becoming a naturalized citizen in 1934. She was a delegate to every national Democratic convention from 1936 to 1968, serving on the platform committee in 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964. She was elected National Committeewoman for Virginia in 1940, a position she held until 1968. As National Committeewoman, she was deeply involved with Democratic Party activities on the state and local levels as well."," Violet McDougall Pollard was involved with a host of state and civic organizations and causes, including the Recreation Committee of the Advisory Council on the Virginia Economy and the Inter-Agency Committee on Recreation; the Associated Clubs of Virginia for Roadside Development; the Industrial Committee of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce; the Federated Arts Council of Richmond; the Historic Richmond Foundation; and the Woman's Club of Richmond."," She died at her home in Lancaster, Virginia, on 2 January 1977.","This collection is housed off-site. At least 72 hours advanced notice is required for retrieval."," The papers primarily focus on Violet McDougall Pollard's activities in politics and art. They also cover her many civic activities, and correspondence with family and friends."," Information on her political activities is found in the files she kept on National Politics, documenting her activities as an official in the Democratic Party; her files on State Politics, documenting her involvement with state Party activities and with organizations such as the Democratic Women's Clubs in Virginia; and throughout her correspondence files, in her letters with many prominent Virginia politicians such as Harry F. Byrd and John S. Battle. Virginia Democrats' increasing dissatisfaction with the national party as not representing the views of the Southern states on issues of civil rights and integration from the late 1940s through the 1960s is a major topic. The role of women in public affairs and politics is another frequent topic in Pollard's papers. In addition to direct discussion of women's roles, the papers document women's activities in the Democratic Party in a time when those activities were generally separate from, though complementary to, men's activities."," Pollard's involvement with art and art education in Virginia are reflected in her files on the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which include a mixture of personal files, copies of official museum records, and literature produced by the museum; her files on the Federated Arts Council of Richmond and other subject files on arts issues; and in correspondence files under the names of artists and of museum staff and supporters.","Arranged alphabetically.

Upon leaving office he became the president of the museum board. The museum opened to the public in 1936. Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956. After retirement, she continued her association with the museum through various committees, especially in the areas of membership and art education.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women.

John Garland Pollard was instrumental in its creation and in raising private funds to support it, during his tenure as governor of Virginia, 1930-1934. Upon leaving office he became the president of the museum board. The museum opened to the public in 1936. Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956. After retirement, she continued her association with the museum through various committees, especially in the areas of membership and art education. The series contains correspondence, memos, minutes, and literature about various aspects of the museum's operations, reflecting Violet McDougall Pollard's activities though it is not a complete set of records. Most of the folders are arranged chronologically, but her committee work on art education fellowships is in folders 28:4-5. Museum-related publications are at the end of the series.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women. However, the State Politics folders have a much higher proportion of substantive, personal correspondence to official mass mailings than do the National Politics folders. Pollard's correspondence with other Virginia women contain comments on events and issues much more frequently than her friendly notes to and from Democratic women outside the state. The Democratic Woman's Club files document women's activities at the local level, in Richmond.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePlatforms of the Two Great Political Parties 1856-1928_, signed on the flyleaf \"Violet E.

They also cover her many civic activities, and correspondence with family and friends."," Information on her political activities is found in the files she kept on National Politics, documenting her activities as an official in the Democratic Party; her files on State Politics, documenting her involvement with state Party activities and with organizations such as the Democratic Women's Clubs in Virginia; and throughout her correspondence files, in her letters with many prominent Virginia politicians such as Harry F. Byrd and John S. Battle. Virginia Democrats' increasing dissatisfaction with the national party as not representing the views of the Southern states on issues of civil rights and integration from the late 1940s through the 1960s is a major topic. The role of women in public affairs and politics is another frequent topic in Pollard's papers. In addition to direct discussion of women's roles, the papers document women's activities in the Democratic Party in a time when those activities were generally separate from, though complementary to, men's activities."," Pollard's involvement with art and art education in Virginia are reflected in her files on the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which include a mixture of personal files, copies of official museum records, and literature produced by the museum; her files on the Federated Arts Council of Richmond and other subject files on arts issues; and in correspondence files under the names of artists and of museum staff and supporters.","Arranged alphabetically.

John Garland Pollard was instrumental in its creation and in raising private funds to support it, during his tenure as governor of Virginia, 1930-1934. Upon leaving office he became the president of the museum board. The museum opened to the public in 1936. Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956. After retirement, she continued her association with the museum through various committees, especially in the areas of membership and art education. The series contains correspondence, memos, minutes, and literature about various aspects of the museum's operations, reflecting Violet McDougall Pollard's activities though it is not a complete set of records.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women. However, the State Politics folders have a much higher proportion of substantive, personal correspondence to official mass mailings than do the National Politics folders. Pollard's correspondence with other Virginia women contain comments on events and issues much more frequently than her friendly notes to and from Democratic women outside the state. The Democratic Woman's Club files document women's activities at the local level, in Richmond.","Platforms of the Two Great Political Parties 1856-1928_, signed on the flyleaf \"Violet E.

She attended Cornwall Normal School of Ontario and was a teacher in Ontario and Saskatchewan, 1910-1912. She then attended Regina College at Saskatchewan for a year, and was secretary in a law office from 1913-1917. She came to the United States in 1917 and was offered a position as secretary in the Virginia governor's office in 1918. She was executive secretary to four successive governors of Virginia between 1918 and 1933: Westmoreland Davis, E. Lee Trinkle, Harry F. Byrd, and John Garland Pollard. She was known affectionately as \"Miss Mac\" to her many friends."," On 31 July 1933, she married Governor Pollard, whose first wife had died in 1932. After his term in office ended in 1934, the couple moved to Washington, D.C., where he served as Chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals and she attended law school at George Washington University. Upon John Garland Pollard's death in 1937, she returned to Richmond and attended law school at the University of Richmond. She went back to Washington from 1938 to 1940, to work as secretary to the Assistant Administrator of the United States Housing Authority."," In 1940 Violet McDougall Pollard returned again to Richmond to join the staff of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which John Garland Pollard had been instrumental in creating. During World War II, the museum's director left to join the Marines, and she served as co-director (in charge of business affairs) with Beatrice von Keller (in charge of art). After the war, she was the museum's associate director until her retirement in 1956. She continued her association with the museum through museum advisory committees and through her position on the board of the Federated Arts Council of Richmond until about 1971."," Long interested in politics and maintaining a wide circle of friends in Virginia political circles from her years on the governor's staff, Violet McDougall Pollard became active in the Democratic Party after becoming a naturalized citizen in 1934. She was a delegate to every national Democratic convention from 1936 to 1968, serving on the platform committee in 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964. She was elected National Committeewoman for Virginia in 1940, a position she held until 1968. As National Committeewoman, she was deeply involved with Democratic Party activities on the state and local levels as well."," Violet McDougall Pollard was involved with a host of state and civic organizations and causes, including the Recreation Committee of the Advisory Council on the Virginia Economy and the Inter-Agency Committee on Recreation; the Associated Clubs of Virginia for Roadside Development; the Industrial Committee of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce; the Federated Arts Council of Richmond; the Historic Richmond Foundation; and the Woman's Club of Richmond."," She died at her home in Lancaster, Virginia, on 2 January 1977.","This collection is housed off-site.

Byrd and John S. Battle. Virginia Democrats' increasing dissatisfaction with the national party as not representing the views of the Southern states on issues of civil rights and integration from the late 1940s through the 1960s is a major topic. The role of women in public affairs and politics is another frequent topic in Pollard's papers. In addition to direct discussion of women's roles, the papers document women's activities in the Democratic Party in a time when those activities were generally separate from, though complementary to, men's activities."," Pollard's involvement with art and art education in Virginia are reflected in her files on the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which include a mixture of personal files, copies of official museum records, and literature produced by the museum; her files on the Federated Arts Council of Richmond and other subject files on arts issues; and in correspondence files under the names of artists and of museum staff and supporters.","Arranged alphabetically.

Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women. However, the State Politics folders have a much higher proportion of substantive, personal correspondence to official mass mailings than do the National Politics folders. Pollard's correspondence with other Virginia women contain comments on events and issues much more frequently than her friendly notes to and from Democratic women outside the state. The Democratic Woman's Club files document women's activities at the local level, in Richmond.","Platforms of the Two Great Political Parties 1856-1928_, signed on the flyleaf \"Violet E.

John Garland Pollard was instrumental in its creation and in raising private funds to support it, during his tenure as governor of Virginia, 1930-1934. Upon leaving office he became the president of the museum board. The museum opened to the public in 1936. Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956. After retirement, she continued her association with the museum through various committees, especially in the areas of membership and art education. The series contains correspondence, memos, minutes, and literature about various aspects of the museum's operations, reflecting Violet McDougall Pollard's activities though it is not a complete set of records. Most of the folders are arranged chronologically, but her committee work on art education fellowships is in folders 28:4-5. Museum-related publications are at the end of the series.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women. However, the State Politics folders have a much higher proportion of substantive, personal correspondence to official mass mailings than do the National Politics folders. Pollard's correspondence with other Virginia women contain comments on events and issues much more frequently than her friendly notes to and from Democratic women outside the state. The Democratic Woman's Club files document women's activities at the local level, in Richmond.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePlatforms of the Two Great Political Parties 1856-1928_, signed on the flyleaf \"Violet E.

They also cover her many civic activities, and correspondence with family and friends."," Information on her political activities is found in the files she kept on National Politics, documenting her activities as an official in the Democratic Party; her files on State Politics, documenting her involvement with state Party activities and with organizations such as the Democratic Women's Clubs in Virginia; and throughout her correspondence files, in her letters with many prominent Virginia politicians such as Harry F. Byrd and John S. Battle. Virginia Democrats' increasing dissatisfaction with the national party as not representing the views of the Southern states on issues of civil rights and integration from the late 1940s through the 1960s is a major topic. The role of women in public affairs and politics is another frequent topic in Pollard's papers. In addition to direct discussion of women's roles, the papers document women's activities in the Democratic Party in a time when those activities were generally separate from, though complementary to, men's activities."," Pollard's involvement with art and art education in Virginia are reflected in her files on the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which include a mixture of personal files, copies of official museum records, and literature produced by the museum; her files on the Federated Arts Council of Richmond and other subject files on arts issues; and in correspondence files under the names of artists and of museum staff and supporters.","Arranged alphabetically.

John Garland Pollard was instrumental in its creation and in raising private funds to support it, during his tenure as governor of Virginia, 1930-1934. Upon leaving office he became the president of the museum board. The museum opened to the public in 1936. Violet McDougall Pollard was also interested in the museum, and in 1940 she became Museum Secretary for Membership, and was also in charge of the Extension Division. She soon became the museum's business manager, then co-director for business affairs during the director's absence due to World War II. She was Associate Director until retiring in 1956. After retirement, she continued her association with the museum through various committees, especially in the areas of membership and art education. The series contains correspondence, memos, minutes, and literature about various aspects of the museum's operations, reflecting Violet McDougall Pollard's activities though it is not a complete set of records.

She was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1936-1968, and served on the platform committee at the 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 conventions. The Democratic Party series reflects her party activities in two subseries, National Politics and Virginia Politics. There is considerable overlap of topics between the subseries; National Politics also includes information on state campaigns and fund-raising, while the State Politics folders often include Virginians' views on national matters. The series as a whole documents women's activities and networking in the Democratic Party at the national, state, and local levels.   The National Politics subseries is arranged chronologically, with a small group of subject folders at the end. (Note that items may be filed in folders from later years because of Pollard's habit of bundling together sequences of related correspondence and filing them as a group). The materials are primarily publications and correspondence that were sent out to all national committeewomen. Personal correspondence in the subseries is often not substantive, consisting of \"It was so nice to see you,\" or \"I won't be able to attend but please assign my proxy to ------.\" The subseries provides a good picture of official party activities for women, and documents Pollard's networking with other Democratic women, but not a comprehensive view of opinions and policymaking within the party. The Democratic National Committeman for Virginia for many years was E. R. Combs of Richmond. Since he and Pollard both lived in the same city, there is no correspondence between them, although there are indications that they worked very closely together. In 1948, G. Fred Switzer of Harrisonburg became Virginia's Committeeman, and he and Pollard corresponded frequently and exchanged copies of their correspondence with other Virginia Democrats as well. The files after 1948 thus contain more discussion of issues and comments on Party officials. A major topic in the subseries is Virginia Democrats' dissatisfaction with the national leadership over the issues of civil rights and integration. Substantive correspondence has been particularly noted in the folder descriptions. Additional correspondence on national activities and issues can be found in the Virginia Politics subseries, and in the folders of individual correspondents in Series I.   The Virginia Politics subseries is grouped into State Politics (arranged chronologically), state subject folders, Democratic Woman's Club of Richmond (arranged chronologically), and some material on Young Democrats. Like the National Politics subseries, the Virginia Politics subseries contains publications and official mailings concerning party activities for women. However, the State Politics folders have a much higher proportion of substantive, personal correspondence to official mass mailings than do the National Politics folders. Pollard's correspondence with other Virginia women contain comments on events and issues much more frequently than her friendly notes to and from Democratic women outside the state. The Democratic Woman's Club files document women's activities at the local level, in Richmond.","Platforms of the Two Great Political Parties 1856-1928_, signed on the flyleaf \"Violet E.
