Arranged chronologically within each series.","Subseries 1.1: City Planning Commission Annual Reports, 1966-1981, contains a continuous run of annual reports for the City Planning Commission from 1965 through 1981. These annual reports include planning commission highlights and monthly summaries of activities. The 1965-1966 report notes that Robert J. Sullivan Jr. took over the duties of Planning Director on October 1, 1965.","Subseries 1.2: Urban Planning Grants, 1965-1966, contains reports prepared under the contract for the Local Planning Section: Department of Conservation and Economic Development, State of Virginia. The preparation of these reports was funded in part through an urban planning grant from the Housing and Home Finance Agency.

These Urban Planning Grants also include a 1966 comprehensive plan for development over the following twenty years as well as a summary report of that plan. These reports were office copies that belonged to Robert James Sullivan Jr. and have his name written on the cover. Because of excessive mold on these reports, all items from this subseries have been photocopied and originals discarded.","Subseries 1.3: Miscellaneous City Planning Reports, 1946-1992, contains various other reports that relate to city planning in Harrisonburg or city planning in general. Two reports relate to city planning in Norfolk, Virginia from the 1940s and 1950s and document urban renewal or \"slum clearance\" efforts there.

Each series is arranged chronologically.","Administrative Files, 1962-2016\n      Speeches and Writings, circa 1960-2012\n      Correspondence, 1969-2016\n      Photographs, circa 1909-2015","Ronald E. Carrier (1932-2017) served as the fourth president of James Madison University from 1971 until 1998. He came to Madison College from Memphis State University, where he held several administrative positions including Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. Prior to Memphis State, Carrier was an associate professor of economics at the University of Mississippi from 1960 to 1963. He was a graduate of East Tennessee State University and the University of Illinois.","During his time at JMU, Carrier oversaw the physical expansion of campus with several large-scale building campaigns including Godwin Hall and expansions and renovations to Carrier Library as well as the growth of east campus with the Convocation Center, University Recreation Center (UREC), and the ISAT academic buildings. In total, the university added or approved $240 million in new facilities. Other significant accomplishments include increased enrollment to 14,000 students, increased operating budget to $200 million, forty new programs were added with five new colleges including the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT), and establishment of a graduate school. Carrier is largely credited with the vision of East Campus. Under Carrier's leadership Madison College changed its name to James Madison University in 1977. In December 1983, Carrier accepted the position of chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville only to rescind his acceptance the following month due to unexpected administrative changes at Arkansas. In the mid-1990s, Carrier initiated the restructuring of several academic departments and colleges as well as called for the elimination of physics as a major. This was a largely unpopular decision with many faculty and students that ultimately did not materialize. Carrier Library was named in honor of Ronald and Edith Carrier in 1984. Carrier served as Chancellor of JMU from 1998 until 2002 at which point he was awarded President Emeritus status.","In December 2022, all previously processed Carrier accessions were combined with unprocessed accessions to form one collection under UA 0053. At this time, the description, arrangement, and collection inventory were updated.","Contents of folders were combined when appropriate. Printouts of webpages including Wikipedia were discarded. Folder titles are both creator and archivist-supplied. The original 1996 letter and statement from Mills Godwin regarding Carrier's 25th anniversary was photocopied and discarded due to deteriorating condition. Framed items including awards were removed from frames which were discarded. Items that exhibited excessive water damage were also discarded.","A small accession of photographs was transferred in 2009 and during its initial processing in 2011 photographs were given an identifier with the prefix P0003. This identifier refers to a short-lived practice of numbering and organizing photographs into discrete collections irrespective of provenance. The legacy P0003 identifiers were left intact on the backs of the photographs, but the arrangement of the photographs was updated to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings.","James Madison University, Office of the President. Records, 1951-2001. Accession 44225. State Records Collection, The Library of Virginia.","The Ronald E. Carrier Papers comprise the administrative records of James Madison University's fourth president. Records include annual reports and master plans, departmental goals and objectives, Carrier's resumes and biographical statements, honors and awards, philanthropic initiatives, speeches, photographs, and scrapbooks. While much of the collection documents Carrier's tenure as JMU president, a limited amount of materials relate to his work at Memphis State University. Of particular interest is Carrier's appointment and inauguration which is documented through congratulatory correspondence, printed ephemera, and photographs. Various building campaigns are documented to varying degrees and include Godwin Hall, Miller Hall, Carrier Library, and Sonner Hall.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1962-2016, includes annual reports; master plans; goals and objectives for various university divisions and departments, most notably the Office of Affirmative Action and the Office of Disability Services; philanthropic and scholarship initiatives; and documentation of Carrier's various honors and awards. Specific projects documented include the establishment of the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT); the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, named after Carrier's wife; and the Greater University Commission. The academic restructuring of the mid-1990s is documented in the CISAT files but specifically in a CD containing legal documents for the court case Faculty for Responsible Change (FRC) vs. The Visitors of James Madison University (1995).","Includes report on \"Proposed Development of 133 Acres East of I-81\" compiled by Ray V. Sonner, February 1975.","Series 2: Speeches and Writings, circa 1960-2012, contains speeches given to university and community audiences as well as Carrier's writings specifically drafts of his dissertation An Economic Analysis of Trade Union Power. Speeches were primarily delivered to regional and national organizations, local business and civic organizations, local schools and colleges, and JMU meetings and events including remarks to faculty.","Includes address to the Virginia Education Association for Higher Education titled \"The Need for Diversity in Higher Education,\" dedication of Plains Elementary School.","Series 4: Correspondence, 1969-2016, comprises corespondence primarily written to Carrier though file copies written by Carrier are also included. The bulk of the letters congratulate Carrier on his appointment as president of Madison College in 1970 and also concern his initial acceptance of the position of chancellor at University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1983 and his ultimate decision to stay at James Madison University.","Series 4: Photographs, circa 1909-2015, documents social events; Board of Visitors luncheons and parties; get-togethers at the Carriers' home, Oakview, located in the Forest Hills neighborhood; commencement; various speaking events; sporting events; and building dedications and groundbreakings. Carrier's December 1971 inauguration is thoroughly documented. Photographs prominently feature Carrier along with students, faculty and staff, community members, guest speakers, members of the Board of Visitors, family, and friends. This series also includes four bound scrapbooks of photographs and ephemera.","Legacy P0003 identifiers from a 2009 accession were written on the backs of photographs during processing. The identifiers were left intact on the backs of the photographs, but the arrangement of the photographs was updated to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings.","Explain why even though photos are labelled Millers' reception that's not true.","Attendees include Ronald Carrier, Governor John Dalton, Walter McGraw, Raymond Dingledine Jr. and two unidentified Asian dignitaries. Other attendees are also unidentified. The event does not appear to have taken place on campus and possibly occurred in Richmond.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

This was a largely unpopular decision with many faculty and students that ultimately did not materialize. Carrier Library was named in honor of Ronald and Edith Carrier in 1984. Carrier served as Chancellor of JMU from 1998 until 2002 at which point he was awarded President Emeritus status.","In December 2022, all previously processed Carrier accessions were combined with unprocessed accessions to form one collection under UA 0053.

Various building campaigns are documented to varying degrees and include Godwin Hall, Miller Hall, Carrier Library, and Sonner Hall.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1962-2016, includes annual reports; master plans; goals and objectives for various university divisions and departments, most notably the Office of Affirmative Action and the Office of Disability Services; philanthropic and scholarship initiatives; and documentation of Carrier's various honors and awards. Specific projects documented include the establishment of the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT); the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, named after Carrier's wife; and the Greater University Commission. The academic restructuring of the mid-1990s is documented in the CISAT files but specifically in a CD containing legal documents for the court case Faculty for Responsible Change (FRC) vs. The Visitors of James Madison University (1995).","Includes report on \"Proposed Development of 133 Acres East of I-81\" compiled by Ray V.

The bulk of the letters congratulate Carrier on his appointment as president of Madison College in 1970 and also concern his initial acceptance of the position of chancellor at University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1983 and his ultimate decision to stay at James Madison University.","Series 4: Photographs, circa 1909-2015, documents social events; Board of Visitors luncheons and parties; get-togethers at the Carriers' home, Oakview, located in the Forest Hills neighborhood; commencement; various speaking events; sporting events; and building dedications and groundbreakings. Carrier's December 1971 inauguration is thoroughly documented.

Specific projects documented include the establishment of the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT); the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, named after Carrier's wife; and the Greater University Commission. The academic restructuring of the mid-1990s is documented in the CISAT files but specifically in a CD containing legal documents for the court case Faculty for Responsible Change (FRC) vs. The Visitors of James Madison University (1995).","Includes report on \"Proposed Development of 133 Acres East of I-81\" compiled by Ray V. Sonner, February 1975.","Series 2: Speeches and Writings, circa 1960-2012, contains speeches given to university and community audiences as well as Carrier's writings specifically drafts of his dissertation An Economic Analysis of Trade Union Power. Speeches were primarily delivered to regional and national organizations, local business and civic organizations, local schools and colleges, and JMU meetings and events including remarks to faculty.","Includes address to the Virginia Education Association for Higher Education titled \"The Need for Diversity in Higher Education,\" dedication of Plains Elementary School.","Series 4: Correspondence, 1969-2016, comprises corespondence primarily written to Carrier though file copies written by Carrier are also included. The bulk of the letters congratulate Carrier on his appointment as president of Madison College in 1970 and also concern his initial acceptance of the position of chancellor at University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1983 and his ultimate decision to stay at James Madison University.","Series 4: Photographs, circa 1909-2015, documents social events; Board of Visitors luncheons and parties; get-togethers at the Carriers' home, Oakview, located in the Forest Hills neighborhood; commencement; various speaking events; sporting events; and building dedications and groundbreakings. Carrier's December 1971 inauguration is thoroughly documented. Photographs prominently feature Carrier along with students, faculty and staff, community members, guest speakers, members of the Board of Visitors, family, and friends. This series also includes four bound scrapbooks of photographs and ephemera.","Legacy P0003 identifiers from a 2009 accession were written on the backs of photographs during processing. The identifiers were left intact on the backs of the photographs, but the arrangement of the photographs was updated to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings.","Explain why even though photos are labelled Millers' reception that's not true.","Attendees include Ronald Carrier, Governor John Dalton, Walter McGraw, Raymond Dingledine Jr. and two unidentified Asian dignitaries. Other attendees are also unidentified. The event does not appear to have taken place on campus and possibly occurred in Richmond."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCopyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.
