The group originally formed as a Chicago-based collective whose goals are to focus attention on the status-quo of women and the position of women in the field of architecture.","The group designed and produced an exhibit called \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts\" that was shown at the Randolph Street Gallery in Chicago from June 16 to July 2, 1993. The purpose of the exhibit was to illustrate the many ways that women architects are discriminated against in the workplace by their male colleagues. The exhibit was comprised of sculptural and multimedia installations, focusing on such topics as the sexual discrimination and harassment of women architects, and the glass ceiling said to be limiting the advance of women in architecture.","The guide to the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" commenced and was completed in August 1994.","The collection is composed almost exclusively of materials created for the exhibit or in preparation of the exhibit, \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\".

They form part of the Greater Newport Rural Historic District, which is located in the Eastern District of Giles County.  Listed in the National Registrar of Historic Places in 2000, the Greater Newport Rural Historic District includes five distinct sections: Sinking Creek, Spruce Run, Clover Hollow, Plowscrew, and Mountain Lake.  The historic district is agricultural and rural in character, consisting mostly of nineteenth and early-twentieth century farmsteads.  Overall, the district includes approximately 21,085 acres.","Closely associated with the effort to designate this area as a rural historic district was the struggle by community members against AEP's proposed powerline.  In March 1990, the contestation over proposed powerline routes was initiated when the energy company Apco -- which would change its name to AEP during the course of the powerline battle -- announced its plans to build a transmission line from West Virginia to Cloverdale.  The estimated date for its completion was 1998.  Following this announcement, opposition arose from communities along the proposed route.  In Giles County, Virginia, concerned community members joined together to create the organization Citizens Organized to Protect the Environment (COPE), which fought against the proposed powerline. \n     \nFor more detailed information on the powerline struggle and establishment of the Greater Newport Rural Historical District see the following:","Carlisle, Fred.  \"Insiders, Outsiders, and the Struggle for Community,\" Appalachian Journal, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Spring 1999), 240-251.","Carlisle, Fred.  \"The Past in the Present: The Greater Newport Rural Historic District,\" Appalachian Journal, Vol. 32, No. 1 (Fall 2004), 50-66.","Sources Consulted:","\"Greater Newport Rural Historic District, Giles County, Virginia,\" http://www.cr.nps.gov/NR/publications/bulletins/01workshop/newport.htm","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Newport and Clover Hollow, Giles County History Collection was completed in November 2013.","The Newport and Clover Hollow, Giles County History collection contains oral history interviews, transcripts, notes, newspaper clippings, historic district survey forms, a video tape, and a geological survey map related to the creation of the Greater Newport Rural Historic District.

The materials in this collection not only reveal information on the history and people of Giles county, but they also document the community's efforts to get Newport designated as a rural agricultural historic district.

Correspondence, 1970-1981, n.d., contains letters relating to the research, publication and sale of Johnson's various books. Many of the letters consist of little more than book orders, while others--particularly those of Lee Pendleton--contain information on the history of Montgomery County and surrounding areas. The series also includes a few pieces of correspondence which had been addressed to Lula Porterfield Givens and apparently shared with Johnson.","Series II. Subject Files, 1965-1984, contains research notes and other materials compiled by Johnson in preparation for her books on Andrew Lewis, Jacob Miller, James Patton, William Preston, and the early settlement of the New River Valley. The James Patton file includes a typescript of the Augusta Parish Vestry Book and galley proofs for Johnson's James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists. The series also contains files which had been assembled by Lula Givens during research on her two books.

Scrapbook, 1962-1978, is a single scrapbook compiled by Lula Givens, contains mostly newsclippings relating to Southwest Virginia history. It also includes clippings and ephemera of personal interest, relating to acquaintances and national celebrities.","Series V. Photographs and Illustrations, 1920-1979, were primarily collected for use in Johnson's and Givens' various books, though not all of the images were published. The photographs are from a number of sources, including local newspapers and personal collections. The series is of probably greatest interest for images of the Christiansburg High School, Montgomery County Courthouse, Virginia Tech classes and campus of the 1920s, and a 1954 Palace Theatre (Christiansburg) program calendar.","Patricia Miller Givens, teacher and local historian, was born in Newport, Virginia, on March 9, 1932. Known familiarly as \"Patsy,\" Givens was the daughter of Hugh Peck and Lula Porterfield Givens. She graduated from Christiansburg High School in 1949, later obtaining her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin (1956) and master's from the College of William and Mary (1963). In December 1953, she married Walter L. Johnson; the couple would have one son, Walter Peck Johnson. Patricia Johnson taught history and social studies in various schools as the family moved frequently--to Texas, Japan, England, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.--due to the demands of her husband's air force career. Around 1980, the Johnsons returned to the New River Valley area, where they bought and restored the former James Bain Price home in Prices Fork.","Like her mother, Johnson maintained a lifetime interest in the history of Southwest Virginia; she eventually published 15 books and numerous articles related to the subject and became one of the foremost authorities on local history. Johnson's interests were reflected by her memberships in the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.","Johnson died on September 3, 1996; she is buried in the Price Cemetery, Prices Fork, Virginia.","Lula Porterfield, teacher, local historian, and mother of Patricia Givens Johnson, was born in Giles County, Virginia on September 18, 1906. The youngest child of Jehu and Josephine Williams Porterfield, she began teaching in Giles County in 1925. Porterfield married Hugh Peck Givens in Roanoke on December 20, 1930. The couple had two children (Patricia M. and Hugh P. Jr.) and separated in 1939. In the meantime, Lula Givens had moved to Christiansburg and begun a 35-year teaching career in the Montgomery County school system. After her retirement in 1972, Givens was able to devote time to an interest in local history; her research resulted in two books: Highlights in the Early History of Montgomery County, Virginia(1975) and Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia: in the Heart of the Alleghenies(1981).","Lula P. Givens died in Christiansburg, Virginia on February 23, 1987.","The guide to the Patricia Givens Johnson Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Patricia Givens Johnson Papers commenced and was completed in June 2003.","The papers of Patricia Givens Johnson, New River Valley local historian, consist primarily of materials which arose from her research for--and publication of--books on local pioneers Andrew Lewis, Jacob Miller, James Patton, William Preston, and the early settlement of the New River Valley. The papers contain such materials as correspondence, subject files, printed materials and photographs used by Johnson during her research. Interspersed throughout the collection are a few materials which had belonged to Johnson's mother and fellow local historian, Lula Porterfield Givens, including subject files on Christiansburg and Montgomery County, Virginia, a scrapbook, and photographs.","Thirty-five books were transferred from the collection to the Rare Book Collection.
