He began his political service in the early 1970s working in the cloak room of the U.S. Senate; as a staff member in the Senate Office of the Majority Whip from 1971-1974; and as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1972 and 1976. He was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976 to represent West Virginia's Third District and was re-elected for nineteen terms, serving from January 3, 1977-January 2, 2015.","Nick Rahall II was born on May 20, 1949, in Beckley, West Virginia, to parents Nick Joe Rahall, the co-founder of the WWNR radio station, and Mary Alice. He is the grandson of Nicholos Rahall, an immigrant from Kefeir, Lebanon, who settled in Beckley in 1909 and was the co-founder of Rahall Communications, a radio broadcasting company with stations in West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, and Florida. Rahall graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley and then earned his bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1971. He also received some graduate education from George Washington University. He worked as a sales representative for his family's radio station while also serving as President of the Mountaineer Tour and Travel Agency and President of West Virginia Broadcasting in 1974.","In 1976, he entered the race for the West Virginia Fourth Congressional District and defeated incumbent Congressman Ken Hechler for the Democratic nomination. Hechler tried to reclaim his seat during the 1978 primary, but Rahall gathered support and endorsements from leading Democrats, such as Robert C. Byrd and House Speaker Tip O'Neill. A final challenge from Hechler occurred in 1990, resulting again in a victory for Rahall. Rahall then defeated former Supreme Court Justice Elliot \"Spike\" Maynard during the general election on November 2, 2010.  He was reelected to his nineteenth term in Congress on November 6, 2012 after defeating Republican Rick Snuffer. Rahall represented the Fourth District from 1977-1993 when it was redistricted to become part of the Third District. Rahall represented the Third District from 1993-2015.","When he entered Congress in 1977, Rahall was the youngest member at age 28. He focused on a number of issues, including foreign policy, energy, infrastructure, coal, and environment and tourism. He became well-known for his efforts to provide aid for the benefit of coal miners and those suffering from black lung disease, veteran's benefits, and mine health and safety. He held a number of leadership positions, including Chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources (2007-2010), Vice Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Mining and Natural Resources (1985-1993).","His district covered the southern region of West Virginia where coal was the dominant source of revenue. He introduced legislation to improve mine health and safety issues, as well as black lung benefits, and publicly opposed legislation to end mountaintop removal mining. His efforts to improve mine health and safety include sponsoring the 1992 Coal Act, along with Senators John D. Rockefeller IV, Robert C. Byrd, and others. In 2006, he was able to secure funding for the Mine Safety Technology Consortium located in Montgomery, a response to the January 2, 2006 Sago Mine Disaster.","While supporting the coal industry, Rahall also sought to preserve the environmental and historical resources of the state. In 1978, he introduced legislation establishing the New River Gorge National River as a unit of the National Park System in southern West Virginia. Ten years later, he worked to designate the Gauley River National Recreation Area and the Bluestone National Scenic River, creating the largest network of federally protected rivers in the eastern United States. In 1996, his leadership also established the National Coal Heritage Area in eleven southern West Virginia counties, which aims to preserve and interpret the structures and landscapes of the state's rich history of coal mining.","Rahall also led efforts in the area of transportation and infrastructure, developing federal highway and transit legislation. His efforts to improve West Virginia's infrastructure began in 1976 when he was first elected. He was integral to the development of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, which required specific planning factors to be implemented in regional transportation plans, as well as authorizing federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and public transit. He also established the Rahall Transportation Institute (RTI), headquartered at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. RTI has since become a leader in transportation research and economic development for the Appalachian Region.","To promote and diversify southern West Virginia's economic development, he became a front-runner for the Southern Highlands Initiative. This initiative aided in the development of industrial and business parks in the state's southern coal counties. Rahall also considered technological advancement a key component to West Virginia's economic development. He established the Nick J. Rahall, II High Technology Corridors Program, through which he promoted a sustainable approach to economic development by working with local communities to focus on small business and entrepreneurial advancement along major interstates. Rahall additionally helped to establish technology centers at Concord University in Athens, at Greenbrier Valley Airport in Lewisburg, and at the Raleigh County Airport near Beckley.","Proud of his Lebanese-Protestant heritage, he worked to ensure positive relationships between the Middle East and the United States.  He soon became the senior of the few Arab-American lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He became well known for his expertise in foreign policy and was active in dealing with Middle Eastern affairs. He was the co-chair of the 1996 Arab-American tribute at the Democratic National Convention and a member of the board of directors for the American Task Force for Lebanon. He was nominated as an honorary of the Middle East Policy Council's National Advisory Committee and worked closely with several other D.C.-based organizations, such as the National Association of Arab-Americans, the Arab-American Institute, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. Throughout his career, he accompanied and led a number of congressional delegation trips to the region. \nIn 2014, Rahall faced fellow Democrat Richard Ojeda in the primary election, coming out ahead with more than sixty-five percent of the vote, but he lost the general election to Republican Evan Jenkins.","Sources:","Cama, Timothy. \"Dem Rahall loses House seat after 38 years.\" The Hill.

He began his political service in the early 1970s working in the cloak room of the U.S. Senate; as a staff member in the Senate Office of the Majority Whip from 1971-1974; and as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1972 and 1976. He was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976 to represent West Virginia's Third District and was re-elected for nineteen terms, serving from January 3, 1977-January 2, 2015.","Nick Rahall II was born on May 20, 1949, in Beckley, West Virginia, to parents Nick Joe Rahall, the co-founder of the WWNR radio station, and Mary Alice. He is the grandson of Nicholos Rahall, an immigrant from Kefeir, Lebanon, who settled in Beckley in 1909 and was the co-founder of Rahall Communications, a radio broadcasting company with stations in West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, and Florida. Rahall graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley and then earned his bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1971. He also received some graduate education from George Washington University. He worked as a sales representative for his family's radio station while also serving as President of the Mountaineer Tour and Travel Agency and President of West Virginia Broadcasting in 1974.","In 1976, he entered the race for the West Virginia Fourth Congressional District and defeated incumbent Congressman Ken Hechler for the Democratic nomination. Hechler tried to reclaim his seat during the 1978 primary, but Rahall gathered support and endorsements from leading Democrats, such as Robert C. Byrd and House Speaker Tip O'Neill. A final challenge from Hechler occurred in 1990, resulting again in a victory for Rahall. Rahall then defeated former Supreme Court Justice Elliot \"Spike\" Maynard during the general election on November 2, 2010.  He was reelected to his nineteenth term in Congress on November 6, 2012 after defeating Republican Rick Snuffer. Rahall represented the Fourth District from 1977-1993 when it was redistricted to become part of the Third District. Rahall represented the Third District from 1993-2015.","When he entered Congress in 1977, Rahall was the youngest member at age 28. He focused on a number of issues, including foreign policy, energy, infrastructure, coal, and environment and tourism. He became well-known for his efforts to provide aid for the benefit of coal miners and those suffering from black lung disease, veteran's benefits, and mine health and safety. He held a number of leadership positions, including Chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources (2007-2010), Vice Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Mining and Natural Resources (1985-1993).","His district covered the southern region of West Virginia where coal was the dominant source of revenue. He introduced legislation to improve mine health and safety issues, as well as black lung benefits, and publicly opposed legislation to end mountaintop removal mining. His efforts to improve mine health and safety include sponsoring the 1992 Coal Act, along with Senators John D. Rockefeller IV, Robert C. Byrd, and others. In 2006, he was able to secure funding for the Mine Safety Technology Consortium located in Montgomery, a response to the January 2, 2006 Sago Mine Disaster.","While supporting the coal industry, Rahall also sought to preserve the environmental and historical resources of the state. In 1978, he introduced legislation establishing the New River Gorge National River as a unit of the National Park System in southern West Virginia. Ten years later, he worked to designate the Gauley River National Recreation Area and the Bluestone National Scenic River, creating the largest network of federally protected rivers in the eastern United States. In 1996, his leadership also established the National Coal Heritage Area in eleven southern West Virginia counties, which aims to preserve and interpret the structures and landscapes of the state's rich history of coal mining.","Rahall also led efforts in the area of transportation and infrastructure, developing federal highway and transit legislation. His efforts to improve West Virginia's infrastructure began in 1976 when he was first elected. He was integral to the development of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, which required specific planning factors to be implemented in regional transportation plans, as well as authorizing federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and public transit. He also established the Rahall Transportation Institute (RTI), headquartered at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. RTI has since become a leader in transportation research and economic development for the Appalachian Region.","To promote and diversify southern West Virginia's economic development, he became a front-runner for the Southern Highlands Initiative. This initiative aided in the development of industrial and business parks in the state's southern coal counties. Rahall also considered technological advancement a key component to West Virginia's economic development. He established the Nick J. Rahall, II High Technology Corridors Program, through which he promoted a sustainable approach to economic development by working with local communities to focus on small business and entrepreneurial advancement along major interstates. Rahall additionally helped to establish technology centers at Concord University in Athens, at Greenbrier Valley Airport in Lewisburg, and at the Raleigh County Airport near Beckley.","Proud of his Lebanese-Protestant heritage, he worked to ensure positive relationships between the Middle East and the United States.  He soon became the senior of the few Arab-American lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He became well known for his expertise in foreign policy and was active in dealing with Middle Eastern affairs. He was the co-chair of the 1996 Arab-American tribute at the Democratic National Convention and a member of the board of directors for the American Task Force for Lebanon. He was nominated as an honorary of the Middle East Policy Council's National Advisory Committee and worked closely with several other D.C.-based organizations, such as the National Association of Arab-Americans, the Arab-American Institute, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. Throughout his career, he accompanied and led a number of congressional delegation trips to the region. \nIn 2014, Rahall faced fellow Democrat Richard Ojeda in the primary election, coming out ahead with more than sixty-five percent of the vote, but he lost the general election to Republican Evan Jenkins.","Sources:","Cama, Timothy. \"Dem Rahall loses House seat after 38 years.\" The Hill.

He began his political service in the early 1970s working in the cloak room of the U.S. Senate; as a staff member in the Senate Office of the Majority Whip from 1971-1974; and as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1972 and 1976. He was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976 to represent West Virginia's Third District and was re-elected for nineteen terms, serving from January 3, 1977-January 2, 2015. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eNick Rahall II was born on May 20, 1949, in Beckley, West Virginia, to parents Nick Joe Rahall, the co-founder of the WWNR radio station, and Mary Alice. He is the grandson of Nicholos Rahall, an immigrant from Kefeir, Lebanon, who settled in Beckley in 1909 and was the co-founder of Rahall Communications, a radio broadcasting company with stations in West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, and Florida. Rahall graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley and then earned his bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1971. He also received some graduate education from George Washington University. He worked as a sales representative for his family's radio station while also serving as President of the Mountaineer Tour and Travel Agency and President of West Virginia Broadcasting in 1974. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1976, he entered the race for the West Virginia Fourth Congressional District and defeated incumbent Congressman Ken Hechler for the Democratic nomination. Hechler tried to reclaim his seat during the 1978 primary, but Rahall gathered support and endorsements from leading Democrats, such as Robert C. Byrd and House Speaker Tip O'Neill. A final challenge from Hechler occurred in 1990, resulting again in a victory for Rahall. Rahall then defeated former Supreme Court Justice Elliot \"Spike\" Maynard during the general election on November 2, 2010.  He was reelected to his nineteenth term in Congress on November 6, 2012 after defeating Republican Rick Snuffer. Rahall represented the Fourth District from 1977-1993 when it was redistricted to become part of the Third District. Rahall represented the Third District from 1993-2015. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWhen he entered Congress in 1977, Rahall was the youngest member at age 28. He focused on a number of issues, including foreign policy, energy, infrastructure, coal, and environment and tourism. He became well-known for his efforts to provide aid for the benefit of coal miners and those suffering from black lung disease, veteran's benefits, and mine health and safety. He held a number of leadership positions, including Chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources (2007-2010), Vice Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Mining and Natural Resources (1985-1993). \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHis district covered the southern region of West Virginia where coal was the dominant source of revenue. He introduced legislation to improve mine health and safety issues, as well as black lung benefits, and publicly opposed legislation to end mountaintop removal mining. His efforts to improve mine health and safety include sponsoring the 1992 Coal Act, along with Senators John D. Rockefeller IV, Robert C. Byrd, and others. In 2006, he was able to secure funding for the Mine Safety Technology Consortium located in Montgomery, a response to the January 2, 2006 Sago Mine Disaster. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWhile supporting the coal industry, Rahall also sought to preserve the environmental and historical resources of the state. In 1978, he introduced legislation establishing the New River Gorge National River as a unit of the National Park System in southern West Virginia. Ten years later, he worked to designate the Gauley River National Recreation Area and the Bluestone National Scenic River, creating the largest network of federally protected rivers in the eastern United States.

His efforts to improve West Virginia's infrastructure began in 1976 when he was first elected. He was integral to the development of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, which required specific planning factors to be implemented in regional transportation plans, as well as authorizing federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and public transit.

This initiative aided in the development of industrial and business parks in the state's southern coal counties. Rahall also considered technological advancement a key component to West Virginia's economic development. He established the Nick J. Rahall, II High Technology Corridors Program, through which he promoted a sustainable approach to economic development by working with local communities to focus on small business and entrepreneurial advancement along major interstates.

He graduated \n         cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in 1925\n         from the University of Washington in Seattle and later earned\n         an M.A. (1928) and a Ph.D. (1930) at the University of\n         Pennsylvannia in Philadelphia.","Hale's scholarly research in Europe on diplomacy and the\n         press was pursued in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London,\n         Paris, Berlin, and Munich where he, together with his wife \n          Annette Van Winkle Hale whom he had married on August 7, 1929, experienced firsthand the rise of\n         Hitler and the advent of National Socialism that drove Europe\n         and eventually the United States to war. Hale, commissioned in\n         the rank of Major in 1942, served with the Intelligence\n         Division of the War Department General Staff in Washington and\n         in 1945, with the end of hostilities, participated in a\n         special mission of the War Department's Historical (Shuster)\n         Commission in Germany interrogating the surviving political\n         and military leaders of the defeated Third Reich, including\n         such notables as Goering, Keitel, Doenitz, Ribbentrop,\n         Rosenberg, Ley, Jodl, and von Papen.","Hale's return to Charlottesville in 1946 as Professor of\n         European History was short-lived. In 1950, he was back in\n         Germany to serve first as Deputy Commissioner (to George\n         Shuster) and then as Commissioner for Bavaria under the U.S.\n         High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy, whose task it\n         was to phase out the U.S. military occupation as Germany moved\n         toward the restoration of its sovereignty.","Shortly after resuming his academic career at the\n         University of Virginia (1952), Hale became chairman of the\n         history department (1955-1962) and was instrumental in the\n         development of a special fellowship program and history\n         professorship that led to the appointment of his old friend\n         and former University of Virginia colleague, Dumas Malone to\n         serve as the first holder of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial\n         Foundation chair. Also during this period, Hale helped\n         organize and establish within the \n          Southern Historical Association, the European History Section, which he\n         chaired in 1958-1959 and, within the \n          American Historical Association, the Committee on War Documents which he\n         chaired in 1957 and again in 1964 when it incorporated into\n         the Conference Group for Central European History. A highlight of Hale's involvement with\n         the War Documents Committee was the leadership he provided in\n         the committee's successful effort to have millions of captured\n         Nazi government documents, then stored in the United States,\n         declassified and microfilmed prior to their being returned to\n         the German Federal Republic.","After resigning the department chairmanship in 1962, Hale\n         was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Studies at\n         Princeton, New Jersey (1963-1964) and then served as visiting\n         summer professor at Harvard, Duke, and the Universities of\n         Missouri and North Carolina. In 1965, he became William W.\n         Corcoran Professor of History at the University of Virginia\n         where he continued his work while caring for his wife, Anne,\n         until her death in 1968.","Hale was the author of numerous articles, commentaries, and\n         reviews on matters of German history. He was a regular\n         contributor to The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Journal of Modern History, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science,The Journal of Central European Affairs,The American Historical Review, and The Richmond Times-Dispatch. His books include: \nGermany and the Diplomatic Revolution, 1904-1906 (Awarded the \"George Louis Beer\" prize of the\n         American Historical Association in 1931); \nPublicity and Diplomacy, 1890-1914 (1940); \nThe Captive Press in the Third Reich \n(Winner of the \"Polk Award\" in journalism in 1964);\n         and The Great Illusion, 1900-1914 (published as part of the William L. Langer, series, \nRise of Modern Europe, 1971).","In recognition of his academic achievements and government\n         service, Hale received the Outstanding Civilian Award from the\n         U.S. Department of the Army, 1964; the Commander's Cross of\n         the Order of Merit of the German Federal Republic, 1969; the\n         Thomas Jefferson Award from the University of Virginia, 1969;\n         an honorary Litt.D. from Hampden-Sydney College, 1958; and in\n         1986, a \"Festschrift\" of original essays published in his\n         honor by his former graduate students.","In July 1970, Hale remarried to a long time friend, \n          Virginia Zehmer. Despite a stroke\n         suffered in 1973 and the implantation of a pacemaker, Hale\n         kept busy in retirement traveling, hunting, playing golf,\n         refurbishing ancestral gravesites, and being involved in the\n         social activities at his residence community in Richmond. In\n         his late years, he again devoted himself to the care of his\n         wife, Virginia, who died in 1989--three years before he was to\n         succumb on July 19, 1991. He is buried in the University of\n         Virginia Cemetery in Charlottesville.","The collection contains ca. 18,000 items (15 shelf feet)\n         and consists of personal letters, office correspondence, and\n         records relating to Hale's academic activities and\n         associations; declassified copies of intelligence reports and\n         data, together with routine correspondence, memoranda, and\n         administrative documents affiliated with his government\n         service in Germany; manuscript drafts and copies of\n         his published writings; genealogical data; photographs (ca.\n         2000 items) of family members, friends, and travel scenery;\n         and personal miscellanea.","Interesting documents within the collection groupings\n         include: (I) \n         Correspondence: Hale's 1945\n         letters to his wife reporting on the aftermath of \n          Germany's defeat in his vivid\n         descriptions of the devastation of cities and towns they had\n         lived in or had visited before the war and of the suffering\n         being experienced by their old friends and colleagues. (II) \n         Academia: A series of \"Oral\n         History\" interviews that Hale gave to \n          Charles Moran of the University of\n         Virginia in 1976 that focus on his academic career and his\n         government service and that reflect on the historically\n         dramatic events with which he was involved. (III) \n         Government Service: Copies of the\n          U.S. War Department 's 1945 interrogation\n         reports of high-ranking former German officials (some 22 of\n         whom Hale interviewed) who set forth, from their personal\n         perspectives, fascinating accounts and analyses about the war,\n         its conduct, Hitler's leadership, and the reasons for\n         Germany's defeat; State (Land) Commissioner of Bavaria office\n         documents of the period 1950-1952 that give some flavor of\n         Hale's role in implementing the United States policy of\n         introducing and nurturing democratic concepts among the\n         defeated German populace. (IV) \n         Publications: German documents\n         that served as a basis for published articles by Hale that include\n         a copy of an memorandum regarding the biological future of the\n         German people written by Martin Bormann, Nazi leader and Hitler's\n         private sectretary; a 1923 copy of a letter of admonishment to Adolf Hitler from \n          Gottfried Feder, Nazi Party economist;\n         and photostatic copies of Hitler's tax returns which had been\n         maintained in the Munich Finance Office from 1925-1935 and\n         which were later part of the documents seized by the Allies\n         during the war. (VII) \n         Miscellany: Anne Hale's diary of\n         pre-war Germany in which she records the attitudes and\n         behavior of the German people in the period of rising Nazi\n         power; memorabilia that include copies of Nazi SS\n         documents pertaining to some of the security measures taken to\n         protect Hitler following the assassination attempt on his life\n         of July 20, 1940; a copy of a 1947 letter that \n          Rudolph Hess wrote to his sister from his\n         jail cell; and a variety of documents and letters bearing\n         original and facsimile signatures, including those of Hitler, \n          Ribbentrop, \n          Albert Einstein, and \n          Robert Oppenheimer .","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Oron J.

He graduated \n         cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in 1925\n         from the University of Washington in Seattle and later earned\n         an M.A. (1928) and a Ph.D. (1930) at the University of\n         Pennsylvannia in Philadelphia.","Hale's scholarly research in Europe on diplomacy and the\n         press was pursued in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London,\n         Paris, Berlin, and Munich where he, together with his wife \n          Annette Van Winkle Hale whom he had married on August 7, 1929, experienced firsthand the rise of\n         Hitler and the advent of National Socialism that drove Europe\n         and eventually the United States to war. Hale, commissioned in\n         the rank of Major in 1942, served with the Intelligence\n         Division of the War Department General Staff in Washington and\n         in 1945, with the end of hostilities, participated in a\n         special mission of the War Department's Historical (Shuster)\n         Commission in Germany interrogating the surviving political\n         and military leaders of the defeated Third Reich, including\n         such notables as Goering, Keitel, Doenitz, Ribbentrop,\n         Rosenberg, Ley, Jodl, and von Papen.","Hale's return to Charlottesville in 1946 as Professor of\n         European History was short-lived. In 1950, he was back in\n         Germany to serve first as Deputy Commissioner (to George\n         Shuster) and then as Commissioner for Bavaria under the U.S.\n         High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy, whose task it\n         was to phase out the U.S. military occupation as Germany moved\n         toward the restoration of its sovereignty.","Shortly after resuming his academic career at the\n         University of Virginia (1952), Hale became chairman of the\n         history department (1955-1962) and was instrumental in the\n         development of a special fellowship program and history\n         professorship that led to the appointment of his old friend\n         and former University of Virginia colleague, Dumas Malone to\n         serve as the first holder of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial\n         Foundation chair. Also during this period, Hale helped\n         organize and establish within the \n          Southern Historical Association, the European History Section, which he\n         chaired in 1958-1959 and, within the \n          American Historical Association, the Committee on War Documents which he\n         chaired in 1957 and again in 1964 when it incorporated into\n         the Conference Group for Central European History. A highlight of Hale's involvement with\n         the War Documents Committee was the leadership he provided in\n         the committee's successful effort to have millions of captured\n         Nazi government documents, then stored in the United States,\n         declassified and microfilmed prior to their being returned to\n         the German Federal Republic.","After resigning the department chairmanship in 1962, Hale\n         was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Studies at\n         Princeton, New Jersey (1963-1964) and then served as visiting\n         summer professor at Harvard, Duke, and the Universities of\n         Missouri and North Carolina. In 1965, he became William W.\n         Corcoran Professor of History at the University of Virginia\n         where he continued his work while caring for his wife, Anne,\n         until her death in 1968.","Hale was the author of numerous articles, commentaries, and\n         reviews on matters of German history. He was a regular\n         contributor to The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Journal of Modern History, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science,The Journal of Central European Affairs,The American Historical Review, and The Richmond Times-Dispatch.

It was founded in 1844 when Jacob Martz deeded a parcel of land in Tenth Legion to be used as the site for a place of worship. A committee of trustees consisting of John Cowan, Jacob Cowan, Martin Martz, Dorilas Martz, and Jackson Martz was then appointed to superintend the building of the church and Jeremiah Clemons, a local stonemason, was chosen for construction. The church was completed in 1845 and the stone church remained the sole house of worship until 1952 when a second church building was constructed.","During the Civil War the church was used to house Confederate prisoners and also as a makeshift military hospital. The structure was badly damaged during the war and was not repaired until the 1880s. Please see the item titled Written Histories, 1948-1995 in the Church History Materials series for a detailed history of the church and the stone structure. After the Civil War the church was used by several different denominations including the Christian Church, the United Brethren in Christ, and the German Baptist Church. The congregation worshipped in the Stone Church until 1952 when a larger brick church was built on the land beside it. In 1981 Bethlehem Stone Church was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register and in 1985 to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008 restoration began to the old stone church and was completed in 2011. The structure is now used for special events.","Acquiring the collection was suggested to Dr. Mark Peterson of James Madison University Special Collections, by Dr. Andrew Witmer, history professor at JMU. Dr. Witmer intended to include the collection in his History Harvest project but was unable to do so because of time constraints. Dr. Peterson contacted the church and, with the help of the church's secretary, gathered the collection for digitization in 2012.","The collection was lent to JMU Special Collections for digitization in 2012 and materials were returned to Bethlehem United Church of Christ in 2013.
