Items with no ostensible order have been organized with similar materials. Folders, with some exceptions, are arranged alphabetically within each series and their contents chronologically. Throughout the collection Robinson is occasionally addressed as \"ALR,\" \"Armstead Robinson,\" \"Armstead L. Robinson,\" \"Prof. Robinson,\" \"Robbie\" or \"Robby.\" Some folders abbreviate Robinson's name as \"ALR,\" particularly in Series 5; his Bitter Fruits of Bondage folders are occasionally abbreviated as \"BFOB. The collection is arranged in six series:","Series 1: Correspondence, 1967-1995 (0.5 c.f., Box 1).  This series consists of the bulk of Robinson's general correspondence, 1967-1995, but researchers should note that other correspondence is available throughout Series 2, 3, 4 and 5. Letters of interest include a letter of Whitney Moore Young Jr. of the National Urban League, promising assistance to Robinson, August 18, 1969. Much of Robinson's 1971 correspondence, while an assistant professor of Black Studies at State University of New York at Stony Brook, consists of his research inquiries relating to Black life in Memphis, Tennessee; there are also references to an accident he suffered, December 7 and 15, 1971.  There are several interesting letters during the 1980s (however, researchers should note the absence of 1982, 1988 and 1989 letters in the general \"Correspondence\" folders), especially Robinson's letter of  resignation from the University of California at Los Angeles, May 13, 1980; many of his May 1980 letters pertain to his University of Virginia faculty appointment. Also of interest: a March 26, 1981 letter from Robinson to John Wilkinson, Alumni Affairs Development, Yale University, seeking financial assistance for the daughter of  University of Virginia faculty colleague Vivian V. Gordon; November 23, 1981, to the Rector of the Board of Visitors, Virginia Commonwealth University, expressing opposition to the proposed consolidation of its library system with the school's Visual Education Services; December 9, 1981, to the editor of The Harvard Magazine, describing Robinson's role in the establishment of a Black Studies program at Yale University; March 1984 correspondence with Molefi Kete Asante (founder of Afrocentricity and a Black Studies proponent) accusing Robinson of falsely claiming to have been founding director of the Center for Afro-American Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles.","Series 2: Academic Career, 1964-1969 (4.5 c.f., Boxes 1-5).  This series is concerned with Robinson's academic career and is divided into four subseries; there is some chronological and historical overlap among the folders.\nSubseries A: Yale University (Boxes 1-3) chiefly concerns Robinson's work with the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY), its 1968 symposium \"Black Studies in the University,\" and seven audiotape reel recordings of the symposium's proceedings later transcribed, published and edited by Robinson and others as Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1969). Symposium participants included McGeorge Bundy; Lawrence Chisolm; Harold Cruse; Robert Dahl; Nathan Hare; Ron \"Maulana\" Karenga; Martin Kilson, Jr.; Sidney W. Mintz; Boniface I. Obichere; Donald Ogilvie; Alvin Poussaint; Edwin S. Redkey; Charles Henry Taylor, Jr.; Farris Thompson, and Gerald A. McWorter.\nSubseries B: State University of New York (Box 4) is concerned with Robinson's faculty career and early interest in Black Studies. \nSubseries C: University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Rochester, New York (Box 4)includes Robinson's UCLA class lecture notes and papers while a Rochester doctoral student. \nSubseries D: University of Virginia (Boxes 4-5)represents the longest and final phase of Robinson's academic career. Included are lecture notes, syllabi, course evaluations, and various topical and subject files including folders for colleagues Matthew W. Holden Jr., Nathan A. Scott, Jr., and Jeanne Maddox Toungara; the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies (researchers should note that the majority of the Woodson Institute's papers, including those during Robinson's tenure, are retained there and may not yet be available for public research); the Corcoran Department of History (with correspondence and memoranda of Edward L. Ayers and Edwin E. Floyd concerning Robinson's appointment and tenure); the Venable Lane Burial Site Task Force/Catherine \"Kitty\" Foster Homesite (a university committee Robinson co-chaired); the Office of Afro-American Affairs (1986 letters to University of Virginia president Robert O'Neil in defense of OAAA dean Paul L. Puryear and critical of the handling of his resignation as dean and the controversy surrounding it), and, the transcribed remarks of  F. (Frederick) Palmer Weber (labor and civil rights activist.","Series 3: Subject and Topical Files (Boxes 5-11) consists of alphabetized subject and topical folders of select individuals followed by those of organizations and groups.  Among the prominent correspondents (Boxes 5-7): Herbert Aptheker, Ira Berlin, LaWanda F. Cox, Stanley L. Engerman, Michael W. Fitzgerald, John Hope Franklin, Eugene D.

(His extensive census research is filed at the end of this series). The majority of nineteenth century material are photocopies. Folders are arranged alphabetically, and several contain materials cited in Bitter Fruits of Bondage. Folders of interest include: \"First Africans in Virginia (Jamestown)\" (Box 11); \"Memphis Social History Project/Memphis Leadership Project\" (Robinson's letter of June 17, 1977 describes this project as having been conceived by him in 1966, while a junior at Yale, as a history of the Black community in Memphis) (Box 12); \"Research Material: Reconstruction: Black Political Leaders in Memphis, Tennessee (city directory and census data)\" (Box 14).Census materials comprise the latter part of Series IV, and at twelve boxes are the largest groups of materials in the series and the collection (Boxes 20-32).","Series 5: Writings and Publications (Boxes 32-42)the collection's second largest series, contains Robinson's writings, publications and manuscripts of his Yale honors' thesis, University of Rochester dissertation \"Day of Jubilo\" [formerly \"Cotton, Contrabands, and Mr. Lincoln's War\"], Bitter Fruits of Bondage (Boxes 32-38), articles, book reviews, public and conference lectures. These folders are arranged alphabetically by title and chronologically within title headings. Some of Robinson's manuscripts were critiqued on his behalf by colleagues and fellow historians such as Ira Berlin, Edward L. Ayers, Michael F. Holt, Michael Johnson, Julie S. Jones, Theresa M. Towner, and Bell Irvin Wiley.","Series 6: Oversize (Oversize Box U-10) is the last for the collection. Items are arranged chronologically and include: a photostatic copy of a 1863 letter from James Seddon, Confederate secretary of war, to Jefferson Davis; two pencil and ink sketches of Carter G. Woodson; a 1994 certificate declaring Robinson an honorary citizen of Natchez, Mississippi; an incomplete numbered set of \"Images of Afro-Americans of the Emancipation Era\" (Hodges Publications); University of North Carolina Department of Geography census templates and demographic maps; photostatic copies of Civil War maps from National Archives (Washington, D.C.) record group numbers 77 and 94, and speaking engagement posters.","Armstead Louis Robinson was born on April 30, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of Reverend Dr. DeWitt Robinson (a Lutheran clergyman) and Ruth Dickinson Robinson. He attended segregated New Orleans public schools (Trinity Lutheran Elementary and Rivers Frederick Junior High), and Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, from which he graduated with honors in 1964.","Robinson enrolled at Yale University in 1964 as one of eighteen African-American men (out of 1,061 men admitted that year) and received a bachelor's degree in History and graduated with honors and distinction in 1969 for his Scholar of the House thesis, \"In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, 1865-1870.\" As a Yale student Robinson helped create an undergraduate Black Studies program culminating in a 1968 symposium, \"Black Studies in the University,\" and co-edited the conference anthology, Black Studies in the University; A Symposium (Yale University Press, 1969), one of the first books on Black Studies. This experience led to his lifelong interest in promoting Black Studies. While at Yale, Robinson began his teaching career with a lecture series on Black History for the New Haven, Connecticut public school system as well as elementary school day sessions and junior high school evening sessions during 1966-1968.","Robinson was a member of the dean's list (1967-1969), captain of Yale's ROTC Rifle Team (1966-1968), recipient of the 1968 Von Snidren Prize for book collecting, and a member of the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY). As an alumnus he served on the Yale Development Board (1983-1988), the Association of Yale Alumni Board of Governors (1981-1986), and the Yale University Council (1977-1995), of which he served as president during 1981-1986. In 1987 he was the recipient of the Yale Medal for Distinguished Service, his alma mater's highest alumni honor.","Robinson briefly attended Yale Divinity School (1968-1970) before withdrawing to become a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale, Illinois (1970), an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the State University of New York, SUNY-Stony Brook, and assistant professor of Africana and Afro-American Studies, SUNY Brockport (1970-1973). Later, Robinson was a visiting scholar or professor of history at the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), Southwestern at Memphis [now Rhodes College], and Smith College, Massachusetts (Box 10), and the University of Richmond (Box 11).","It is unknown exactly when and why Robinson decided to become a Civil War historian. While an assistant history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1973-1980), he began work on his dissertation at the University of Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by two of America's leading historians, Stanley L. Engerman and Eugene D. Genovese. Genovese was among the scholars who early recognized Robinson's talents as a historian. In his seminal study Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World The Slaves Made (1974), Genovese cited Robinson's thesis (pp. 700n26 and 725n4) as \"'In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis, Tennessee, 1865-1870,' unpubl. undergraduate thesis, Yale University, 1969\" (Boxes 5, 6, 15-16, 40-41).","Robinson received a Doctorate of Philosophy with Honors from the University of Rochester in 1977 for his dissertation \"Day of Jubilo: Civil War and the Demise of Slavery in the Mississippi Valley, 1861-1865.\" In 1980 he joined the University of Virginia faculty as an associate professor in the Corcoran Department of History and was also appointed the first director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies; as director he was the general editor of the Carter G. Woodson Series in Black Studies published by the University Press of Virginia and retained these positions until his death. In a June 25, 1980 letter to James T. McIntosh, editor of the Papers of Jefferson Davis, Robinson noted the racial and cultural significance of his Virginia appointment: \"I am happier than I can possibly express to be able to return home to the south, particularly at UVA where I am scheduled to teach . . .  I am indeed excited about the day when a southern black can teach southern and Civil War/Reconstruction history at a major southern university\" (folder \"Papers of Jefferson Davis,\" Box 12).","He served on numerous university committees during his career. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he was a member of: the Faculty Senate (1975-1979); the American Field Written Comprehensive Examination Committee (1976-1979; chairman, 1977-1979), and, the Fellowships Committee, Center for Afro-American Studies (1975-1980; chairman, 1977-1980).

The Virginia State Library Board of Trustees issued a 1990 resolution of thanks for his service during 1984-1989 while a member of its board of trustees, and Robinson was declared an honorary citizen of Natchez, Mississippi in 1994. He was a member of several scholarly organizations including the American Historical Association, the American Studies Association, the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, the Organization of American Historians, and the Southern Historical Association.","Robinson published extensively.

He was survived by his wife Mildred and their daughter Allison; his mother Ruth Robinson; his sisters DeWittress Taylor and Miriam Elmore and a brother, Llewlyn Robinson; two stepchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and relatives. After a funeral on September 5, 1995, Robinson was interred at Cross of Cavalry Lutheran Church Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. A two-hour memorial \"Service of Thanksgiving,\" attended by nearly 500 colleagues, family and friends, was held on September 29, 1995 at the University of Virginia's Old Cabell Hall auditorium.

He attended segregated New Orleans public schools (Trinity Lutheran Elementary and Rivers Frederick Junior High), and Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, from which he graduated with honors in 1964.","Robinson enrolled at Yale University in 1964 as one of eighteen African-American men (out of 1,061 men admitted that year) and received a bachelor's degree in History and graduated with honors and distinction in 1969 for his Scholar of the House thesis, \"In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, 1865-1870.\" As a Yale student Robinson helped create an undergraduate Black Studies program culminating in a 1968 symposium, \"Black Studies in the University,\" and co-edited the conference anthology, Black Studies in the University; A Symposium (Yale University Press, 1969), one of the first books on Black Studies. This experience led to his lifelong interest in promoting Black Studies. While at Yale, Robinson began his teaching career with a lecture series on Black History for the New Haven, Connecticut public school system as well as elementary school day sessions and junior high school evening sessions during 1966-1968.","Robinson was a member of the dean's list (1967-1969), captain of Yale's ROTC Rifle Team (1966-1968), recipient of the 1968 Von Snidren Prize for book collecting, and a member of the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY). As an alumnus he served on the Yale Development Board (1983-1988), the Association of Yale Alumni Board of Governors (1981-1986), and the Yale University Council (1977-1995), of which he served as president during 1981-1986. In 1987 he was the recipient of the Yale Medal for Distinguished Service, his alma mater's highest alumni honor.","Robinson briefly attended Yale Divinity School (1968-1970) before withdrawing to become a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale, Illinois (1970), an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the State University of New York, SUNY-Stony Brook, and assistant professor of Africana and Afro-American Studies, SUNY Brockport (1970-1973). Later, Robinson was a visiting scholar or professor of history at the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), Southwestern at Memphis [now Rhodes College], and Smith College, Massachusetts (Box 10), and the University of Richmond (Box 11).","It is unknown exactly when and why Robinson decided to become a Civil War historian. While an assistant history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1973-1980), he began work on his dissertation at the University of Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by two of America's leading historians, Stanley L. Engerman and Eugene D. Genovese. Genovese was among the scholars who early recognized Robinson's talents as a historian. In his seminal study Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World The Slaves Made (1974), Genovese cited Robinson's thesis (pp. 700n26 and 725n4) as \"'In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis, Tennessee, 1865-1870,' unpubl. undergraduate thesis, Yale University, 1969\" (Boxes 5, 6, 15-16, 40-41).","Robinson received a Doctorate of Philosophy with Honors from the University of Rochester in 1977 for his dissertation \"Day of Jubilo: Civil War and the Demise of Slavery in the Mississippi Valley, 1861-1865.\" In 1980 he joined the University of Virginia faculty as an associate professor in the Corcoran Department of History and was also appointed the first director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies; as director he was the general editor of the Carter G. Woodson Series in Black Studies published by the University Press of Virginia and retained these positions until his death. In a June 25, 1980 letter to James T. McIntosh, editor of the Papers of Jefferson Davis, Robinson noted the racial and cultural significance of his Virginia appointment: \"I am happier than I can possibly express to be able to return home to the south, particularly at UVA where I am scheduled to teach . . .  I am indeed excited about the day when a southern black can teach southern and Civil War/Reconstruction history at a major southern university\" (folder \"Papers of Jefferson Davis,\" Box 12).","He served on numerous university committees during his career. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he was a member of: the Faculty Senate (1975-1979); the American Field Written Comprehensive Examination Committee (1976-1979; chairman, 1977-1979), and, the Fellowships Committee, Center for Afro-American Studies (1975-1980; chairman, 1977-1980). While at the University of Virginia he was a member of the Faculty Steering Committee for Major in Afro-American and African Studies (1980-1995); the Faculty Senate (1981-1984; 1987-1990); the Afro-American Faculty-Staff Forum (1982-1984); the Presidential Advisory Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action (1992-1995), and co-chairman, Venable Lane Burial Site Task Force/Catherine \"Kitty\" Foster Homesite (1993-1995).

R. was born in Fairmont, West Virginia, and at- tended  Morgantown High School, West Virginia University, Harvard College, and Harvard Medical School from which he received his MD degree in 1948. He interned at the Faulkner Hospital in Boston and had his first neurological experience with Dr. Bernard Alpers at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. After completing his Navy duties he continued his training with H. Houston Merritt at the Neurological Institute of New York-Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. While  he was in the middle of his final year as Chief Resident he was called to Charlottesville to assist with a Division of  Neurology that was having difficulty. There were many tasks that needed  urgent attention. Within six months T.R., an Assistant Professor and only recently arrived, was made Chairman of the Division. In 1967, the Division was elevated to Department status-and he was its first Chairman.","T.R. belonged to many committees and organizations ranging from the large neurological  societies to the Council of Academic Societies of the Association of American  Medical Colleges to other committees representing specific neurological illnesses. He was an officer, director, and leader of many organizations. The most important one of these to him was the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation. In addition to his recognition for committee work he received many honors, including  election to Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha, and he was named  a John and Mary Markle Scholar. He was recognized by various honors and testimonials at the University of Virginia for excellence in teaching. His main academic interests  were in neuromuscular disease, which he extended during a sabbatical leave in Sweden in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Thesleff. Later this interest formed the basis for expansion of  neuromuscular research at the University of Virginia, culminating in the establishment of the Jerry Lewis Neuromuscular Center in 1982.","He published, often with junior colleagues, on a wide variety of syndromes and phenomena. His major interest remained in the neuromuscular area, particularly myasthenia gravis. He indicated (in listing his interests in  a CV) that his main interests were teaching, general neurology, and disorders of the motor unit, particularly neuromuscular and myasthenia problems. He was most absorbed by the drive for excellence for his department.","While his contributions to research on myasthenia gravis will long be remembered, his influence  ranged far beyond that  because of the department he created and the example he set for numerous students, trainees, and faculty members from the time he arrived in Charlottesville in 1956, his influence affected scores of people in neurology and many other related disciplines. T.R. was considered a formal person. With his intimates he was full of good fellowship, and he loved the company of others. However, there was a private  side that few people came to know. He was as self-disciplined about his  privacy as he was about his manners, which were unfailingly good. I never heard him curse even when he was in the midst of a heated conversation with   friends. Some  misconstrued his formality and courtly manners to mean he had been raised in Europe and wondered if he had had part of his education in Great Britain. He admired the National Hospital at Queen Square, and one of his greatest successes with that institution was to recruit Dr. Fred Dreyfuss all the way from New Zealand. He had never met Dr. Dreyfuss but learned  a great deal about him from the staff at Queen Square.","T.R. was a diplomat, but he was a stubborn one. He held out for his principles, even when he might  lose. His attempts to make changes in some of the priorities and processes  of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) were defeats or setbacks and are well known to his colleagues.

Thompson","Early History of the Department of Neurology:","Neurology was first taught at the University of Virginia in the early 20th century by John Staige Davis II in the Department of Medicine. David C. Wilson became the first Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry in 1929. Wilson led neurological services throughout the 1930s and 1940s at the UVA Hospital. In 1939, UVA's first neuropsychiatric unit was established and named in honor of John Staige Davis II. Walter O. Klingman served as chair of the Neurology section of the Department of Medicine from 1947-1955, before a formal Neurology department was formed.","The Department of Neurology was founded at the University of Virginia in 1967. Its first chairman was T.R. Johns, who laid the groundwork for a nationally known neurology program. After his death, Johns was succeeded in 1989 by the appointment of G. Frederick Wooten, a recognized clinician and specialist in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Under Wooten's leadership, the Department of Neurology continued to grow and expand into new subspecialties, such as stroke, neurocritical care, neuro-oncology, memory disorders, and neuroimmunology.","Materials in this collection were transferred to the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library from the University of Virginia School of Medicine Department of Neurology in 2019.","The collection consists largely of the professional correspondence of T.R. Johns; his correspondents included H. Houston Merrit, Bernard J. Alpers, the Lynchburg Training School and Hospital, and Nobel Laureate Ferid Murad. Other materials represented in the collection include Johns' committee work, office files, grant proposals, and research subject files. Topics among the collection include potential departmental hires, work for the School of Medicine Committee on Governance (Chaired by Johns), a proposed cancer center at UVA, stroke program, training grants, neurology research committee, and development of neurology curriculum.","Contents are restricted pending review.","Claude Moore Health Sciences Library","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Thomas Richards Johns papers, 1956/1977"],"collection_ssim":["Thomas Richards Johns papers, 1956/1977"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["MS.83","Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","/repositories/7/resources/951"],"unitid_tesim":["MS.83","Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","/repositories/7/resources/951"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"creator_corpname_ssim":["Claude Moore Health Sciences Library"],"creators_ssim":["Claude Moore Health Sciences Library"],"access_terms_ssm":["Contents are restricted pending review."],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["4 Linear Feet 8 boxes"],"extent_tesim":["4 Linear Feet 8 boxes"],"date_range_isim":[1956,1957,1958,1959,1960,1961,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967,1968,1969,1970,1971,1972,1973,1974,1975,1976,1977],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection is currently restricted.

He was most absorbed by the drive for excellence for his department.","While his contributions to research on myasthenia gravis will long be remembered, his influence  ranged far beyond that  because of the department he created and the example he set for numerous students, trainees, and faculty members from the time he arrived in Charlottesville in 1956, his influence affected scores of people in neurology and many other related disciplines. T.R. was considered a formal person. With his intimates he was full of good fellowship, and he loved the company of others. However, there was a private  side that few people came to know. He was as self-disciplined about his  privacy as he was about his manners, which were unfailingly good. I never heard him curse even when he was in the midst of a heated conversation with   friends. Some  misconstrued his formality and courtly manners to mean he had been raised in Europe and wondered if he had had part of his education in Great Britain. He admired the National Hospital at Queen Square, and one of his greatest successes with that institution was to recruit Dr. Fred Dreyfuss all the way from New Zealand. He had never met Dr. Dreyfuss but learned  a great deal about him from the staff at Queen Square.","T.R. was a diplomat, but he was a stubborn one. He held out for his principles, even when he might  lose. His attempts to make changes in some of the priorities and processes  of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) were defeats or setbacks and are well known to his colleagues. Many of the objectives he advocated for ABPN have been embraced since his term expired. He was very skillful at bringing about consensus and effecting compromise that did not diminish the stature of those who might have held opposing views.","T.R. was a  great sportsman. While never a  good athlete, he followed  college football  and basketball avidly. His ability to note strategies for defensive backfield and subtle changes  at the line of scrimmage was very perceptive. His understanding of basketball transcended that of anyone I've every  known. He could make sense of the strategy and the ebb and flow of the game when others were missing these subtleties. Because of his interest he was well known in basketball circles. He traveled frequently to see the University of Virginia  teams play their Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.","When all of his life is reviewed, it is clear that T.R. took greatest joy in and was most dedicated to his family and to building and maintaining his department. He gave it all he had even when ill. His integrity, loyalty, and interest in traditions  coupled with  a willingness to change were well suited to Thomas Jefferson's university. He was a student of  history, a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and most  supportive of those who had committed themselves for training under his supervision.","He is survived by his wife,  Mary Dearing Johns, MD, and four children, Anne Elisabeth Johns Miller, MD, Rebecca Longridge Johns Gerritsen, Thomas Richards Johns III, and  Sarah Dearing Johns.\"","Obituary written by Hartwell G. Thompson","Early History of the Department of Neurology:","Neurology was first taught at the University of Virginia in the early 20th century by John Staige Davis II in the Department of Medicine. David C. Wilson became the first Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry in 1929. Wilson led neurological services throughout the 1930s and 1940s at the UVA Hospital. In 1939, UVA's first neuropsychiatric unit was established and named in honor of John Staige Davis II. Walter O. Klingman served as chair of the Neurology section of the Department of Medicine from 1947-1955, before a formal Neurology department was formed.","The Department of Neurology was founded at the University of Virginia in 1967. Its first chairman was T.R. Johns, who laid the groundwork for a nationally known neurology program. After his death, Johns was succeeded in 1989 by the appointment of G. Frederick Wooten, a recognized clinician and specialist in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Under Wooten's leadership, the Department of Neurology continued to grow and expand into new subspecialties, such as stroke, neurocritical care, neuro-oncology, memory disorders, and neuroimmunology."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaterials in this collection were transferred to the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library from the University of Virginia School of Medicine Department of Neurology in 2019.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Materials in this collection were transferred to the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library from the University of Virginia School of Medicine Department of Neurology in 2019."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\nThe collection consists largely of the professional correspondence of T.R.

In 1924, he married Mary Ann Thomas (1909-1976), who predeceased him. They had thirteen children. He married Ressie Viola Sutherly (1904-1991) in 1984. Lewis Yankey was active in the local Brocks Gap community. He was a member of Valley View Mennonite Church and Bergton Ruritan Club. He helped to establish the local 4-H clubs, the Bergton Fair, and Friendship Park, a picnicking area and campground located on the Yankey property in Criders. Yankey was an avid genealogist and historian of the local area and its families. He worked with other contributors including Pat Turner Ritchie to publish more than 20 genealogies and family histories. In addition to his contributions to the Brocks Gap community, Yankey was a farmer by trade and also worked for the U.S. Forest Service.","Yankey dedicated years of his life researching and documenting the families of the Brocks Gap area of western Rockingham County. Geographically, Brocks Gap encompasses the larger communities of Fulks Run, Bergton (formerly Dovesville), and Criders as well as the smaller communities familiar to local residents of Dry River, Runions Creek, Genoa, Palos, Hopkins Gap, Riverside, Yankeetown, Bennetts Run, Crab Run, Germany River, and Overly Hollow.","The materials descended through Shirley Kuykendall, daughter of Lewis Yankey.","The bound notebooks were heavily annotated with post-it notes. The post-its were used to flag names, families, and stories that are present in the notebooks, but did not provide additional context or content. As a result, the post-it notes were all removed and discarded.","The bulk of the notebooks are undated. An approximate date of 1990 was applied to all of the undated notebooks and is based on the publication dates of Yankey's compiled genealogies which date to the late 1980s and early 1990s. The notebooks that are dated have a date written on the front cover or elsewhere in the notebook. The dates written on the front covers likely document when the notebooks were typed in preparation for publication. The same dating strategy was employed for the research files.

After graduation, Mr. Williams enlisted in the Navy shortly after the attack on  Pearl Harbor during World War II and was stationed at Camp Peary, where he started the base's photography laboratory. While at Camp Peary, he shot many photographs for Colonial Williamsburg, who hired him shortly after World War II to start their photography section. After nine years at Colonial Williamsburg, Mr. Williams became the photographer for William \u0026 Mary, a position he held for 35 years. While at William and Mary, Mr. Williams photographed various events at the College, including Charter Day and Commencement ceremonies, the inauguration of Davis Y. Paschall as president of William \u0026 Mary, and the celebrations during Homecoming Weekend.","Thomas L.
