Project records, 1980 - 2013, undated","Born November 27, 1952, in Geneva, Switzerland, Diane Elliott Gayer is an architect, environmentally conscious designer, teacher, artist, and writer who has mostly practiced in the United States. From 1976 to 1979 Gayer attended a Masters in Architecture Program at the University of Colorado, Denver. There, she completed a thesis project proposing a mixed-use hospital expansion for the National Jewish Hospital-University of Colorado Medical Center complex. After graduating, she took a job at Marvin E. Knedler \u0026 Associates, and her work there led to other opportunities at the firms Duff, Reck, and Lehman Architects, and later at Michael Gaviglio \u0026 Associates. In 1983, she and her husband/business partner Geoff Kampe established their own practice, Artemis Designs, Inc., where they worked as a team to design the Left Bank Townhouses in Lakewood, Colorado, an infill project on reclaimed land. While still living in Colorado, she developed and taught teacher training programs in environmental education and served as architect in residence for the Colorado Arts Council and environmental design consultant for the Gifted and Talented Program of the Jefferson County School District. In 1988, Gayer relocated to Vermont to work as an associate architect at the University of Vermont.","Over the years, she has taught at Norwich University, the University of Vermont (UVM), and at the Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Waitsfield, Vermont. She also worked as architect, planner, and environmental designer at Diane Elliott Gayer Associates in Hinesburg, Vermont. From 1991-1997, Gayer served on the advisory board of the Vermont Design Institute (VDI), a non-profit design and community development collaborative based in Burlington, Vermont, that had grown out of an outreach effort of the Vermont Council on the Arts. From 1995 to 2016, she served as its director. As a teacher, she regularly pulled design problems and case studies from her work as a planner, and, conversely, would use student input and solutions to inform her approach to design. Many student projects and course materials make mention of VDI projects, like the Historic Main Street Study of St. Johnsbury or the Old Main building renovations at the UVM campus.","She's devoted her career to examining what architecture can do and to building a more sustainable future through community empowerment. She has worked as a teacher, organizer, volunteer, and advocate for sustainability and environmental awareness in design. Professionally, she has been active in many organizations, including Women in Design of the Built Environment (WIND), of which she was a founding member, the Colorado chapter of Women in Architecture, l'Union International des Femmes Architects (UIFA), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), among others. She was selected as a consultant volunteer for Citizens Democracy Corps and spent a year in Yekaterinburg, Russia, working on curriculum development with and for the Urals Architecture Institute. Additionally, she's participated in, consulted on, and led many design charrettes and workshops.","She served as editor of and frequent contributor to the Vermont Design Quarterly, the quarterly publication of the Vermont Design Institute, from 1998-2001. She's written that she feels that the quarterly represents her \"work and vision as an architect and planner.\" Along with Jane Petrillo, she co-authored a monograph, also associated with VDI, called Groundswell, a 24 page large-format graphic publication focused on community planning and design.","Sources (other than the collection itself)","Gayer, Diane E. \"Reflections: Creating an Architectural Practice.\" In The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture, edited by Anna Sokolina, 370-381.

From 1976 to 1979 Gayer attended a Masters in Architecture Program at the University of Colorado, Denver. There, she completed a thesis project proposing a mixed-use hospital expansion for the National Jewish Hospital-University of Colorado Medical Center complex. After graduating, she took a job at Marvin E. Knedler \u0026 Associates, and her work there led to other opportunities at the firms Duff, Reck, and Lehman Architects, and later at Michael Gaviglio \u0026 Associates. In 1983, she and her husband/business partner Geoff Kampe established their own practice, Artemis Designs, Inc., where they worked as a team to design the Left Bank Townhouses in Lakewood, Colorado, an infill project on reclaimed land. While still living in Colorado, she developed and taught teacher training programs in environmental education and served as architect in residence for the Colorado Arts Council and environmental design consultant for the Gifted and Talented Program of the Jefferson County School District. In 1988, Gayer relocated to Vermont to work as an associate architect at the University of Vermont.","Over the years, she has taught at Norwich University, the University of Vermont (UVM), and at the Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Waitsfield, Vermont. She also worked as architect, planner, and environmental designer at Diane Elliott Gayer Associates in Hinesburg, Vermont. From 1991-1997, Gayer served on the advisory board of the Vermont Design Institute (VDI), a non-profit design and community development collaborative based in Burlington, Vermont, that had grown out of an outreach effort of the Vermont Council on the Arts. From 1995 to 2016, she served as its director. As a teacher, she regularly pulled design problems and case studies from her work as a planner, and, conversely, would use student input and solutions to inform her approach to design. Many student projects and course materials make mention of VDI projects, like the Historic Main Street Study of St. Johnsbury or the Old Main building renovations at the UVM campus.","She's devoted her career to examining what architecture can do and to building a more sustainable future through community empowerment. She has worked as a teacher, organizer, volunteer, and advocate for sustainability and environmental awareness in design. Professionally, she has been active in many organizations, including Women in Design of the Built Environment (WIND), of which she was a founding member, the Colorado chapter of Women in Architecture, l'Union International des Femmes Architects (UIFA), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), among others. She was selected as a consultant volunteer for Citizens Democracy Corps and spent a year in Yekaterinburg, Russia, working on curriculum development with and for the Urals Architecture Institute. Additionally, she's participated in, consulted on, and led many design charrettes and workshops.","She served as editor of and frequent contributor to the Vermont Design Quarterly, the quarterly publication of the Vermont Design Institute, from 1998-2001.

He was raised in Milton, West Virginia, a small town in the hills in the southwestern part of that state. Helen Frazier (b. 1922) and Bud Pancake (1917-1975) married in September 1939 and had two daughters, Charlotte and Donnetta, shortly thereafter. Bud began working for Union Carbide Chemical Company as a shipping clerk, and remained in the job for more than thirty years. He also served in an army field observation unit in Germany for almost two years during World War II. Helen Pancake became a librarian in the Milton Public Library in the 1970s.","Breece attended Milton High School and graduated in 1970. He wrote two stories during that time, \"Keeper of the Flame,\" which was published in the school paper in 1968, and \"Rat Boy,\" which was rejected in the early 1970s by several publications. Breece enrolled in school at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon in the summer of 1970 and continued to study there into the fall.","When Bud Pancake was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Breece transferred to Marshall University in Huntington in order to be closer to home. The two men enjoyed a very close relationship, having spent many hours fishing, camping, hiking, and hunting during Breece's youth. However, after a broken engagement in December 1971, Pancake decided to leave West Virginia and visit his sister Donnetta in Phoenix, Arizona. He was there from January to April 1972, working odd jobs, traveling to Mexico and throughout the southwest. Breece returned to Marshall later that year and earned a BA in English in 1974 with plans to teach high school English. While there he began writing several stories, including \"Stuart,\" \"Fox Hunters,\" and \"The Honored Dead.\"","Breece spent the next two years teaching at military prep schools in Virginia. In the fall of 1974 he found a job at the Fork Union Military Academy. There he met fellow teacher Matthew Heard, who quickly became a close friend and travel companion. Breece spent the following year teaching at the Staunton Military Academy. He continued writing during this time, completing \"Fox Hunters\" in June 1975 and \"The Scrapper\" in September of that year. On 8 September 1975 Bud Pancake died of complications from multiple sclerosis. Less than three weeks later, Matthew Heard was killed in a car accident. Devastated by these deaths, Breece considered returning to West Virginia. However, he was committed to his teaching job and in November he moved instead into an apartment at the home of Sarah Nutt, who became a close friend and support, and poured himself into his writing.","By the end of 1975, Breece had written several new stories, including \"The Mark,\" and \"Cowboys and Girls,\" which became \"The Way It Has to Be\" when it was published in 1983. In early 1976 he started writing \"Salvation of Me,\" \"Will o' the Wisp,\" which became \"Trilobites,\" and \"Time and Again.\" That spring, the University of Virginia's literary magazine, Rivanna, published \"The Mark,\" and Breece decided to leave teaching and study creative writing in graduate school.","In the spring of 1975 Breece had met John Casey at the University of Virginia (U.Va.) and shown him at least two of his stories. He also attended one of Casey's classes. Breece became a full-time student in the fall of 1976 and worked with distinguished writers John Casey, James Alan McPherson, Richard Jones, and Peter Taylor. He also taught composition and fiction writing as a graduate assistant on the Emily Clark Balch and Henry Hoyns fellowships and served as a fiction consultant to the editor of Virginia Review Quarterly.","The demands of graduate school exhausted Breece and did not leave him much time for his own writing. He spent most of his time polishing his earlier work and began to enjoy more literary success. Both \"Hollow\" and \"Cowboys and Girls\" were published in the university newspaper, The Declaration, during his first semester. The Atlantic Monthly accepted \"Trilobites\" for publication in March 1977 and \"In the Dry\" in early 1978. Breece also sold \"Time and Again\" to the magazine Nightwork and won the Jefferson Society Prize for fiction that year. It was during the publication of \"Trilobites\" in the spring of 1977 that a typesetter's error changed Breece's name from Breece D.J. Pancake to Breece D'J Pancake. (Breece had unofficially changed his middle name to David and then added John as a confirmation name in 1977 when he converted to Catholicism.) He decided to keep the new punctuation and adopt the name by which he is now known. Breece also began writing \"First Day of Winter,\" \"In the Dry,\" and \"A Room Forever\" while in Charlottesville.","Despite his early literary success, Breece had difficulties adjusting to graduate school and life in Charlottesville. He rented a small apartment in the manor home of Virginia Meade and her husband and struggled to feel at home at the university, where he was bothered by class consciousness and felt alienated from many of his fellow students. However, he did meet Emily Miller, a PhD student in English at U.Va., in the fall of 1977, and the two dated until Breece's death. By the spring of 1979, Breece was close to completing his master's degree and was applying for teaching positions for the following academic year.","Breece Pancake died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 8 April 1979 in Charlottesville and was buried in Milton, West Virginia. In the months and years after his death, Helen Pancake and John Casey worked to publish his stories. Atlantic Monthly published \"The Honored Dead\" in January 1981 and \"Hollow\" in October 1982, and Antaeus accepted \"A Room Forever\" for its December 1981 issue. A collection of Breece's work, The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake, was published posthumously through the efforts of Helen Pancake and Breece's literary executor, John Casey, in February 1983 by Little, Brown and Company in association with The Atlantic Monthly Press. Stories was reviewed by more than one hundred major newspapers and journals and received widespread critical acclaim as well as a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Holt, Rinehart, and Winston reprinted the book as a paperback in 1984 and in 1986 Stories won the West Virginia Literary Award. Even after the book's publication, Helen Pancake continued to support her son's writing by answering the questions of those interested in understanding Breece's writing and youth in West Virginia. In 1998 Thomas E. Douglass published A Room Forever: The Life, Work, and Letters of Breece D'J Pancake. Much of this biographical information comes from that book.","In 1985 Helen Pancake sold the family home in Milton and moved to Spring Hills, Florida.","There are seven series in this collection:","Series 1. Breece Pancake Correspondence, 1966-1979 and undated\nSeries 2. Helen Pancake Correspondence, 1952-1994 and undated (bulk 1979-1994)\nSeries 3.

Breece Pancake Correspondence, 1966-1979 and undated, contains approximately two hundred fifty letters chiefly written by Breece Pancake to his parents between 1966 and his death in April 1979. There are also several letters between Breece and his sisters, Donnetta and Charlotte; friends Matthew Heard and Mike Jennings; and Phoebe-Lou Adams at The Atlantic Monthly. Letters chiefly record Breece's work on his short stories and his daily activities at college in West Virginia in the early 1970s; while teaching at military academies in Virginia in the mid-1970s; and during his graduate studies in creative writing at the University of Virginia (U.Va.) in Charlottesville in the late 1970s. Topics also include Breece's desire to better himself; his goals for life; his views on human beings and relationships; and his feelings about West Virginia and its people.","Approximately forty letters between Breece and his parents from 1970 to 1973 document Breece's studies at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon and the family's life back in Milton. Helen and Bud share news from home and Breece shares stories about college life, including his classes, living in the dorm, difficulties at school and his desire to transfer to Marshall University. From January to April 1972 Breece writes from Arizona, where he is visiting his sister Doni and traveling out West. Topics include finding odd jobs; rappelling, horses, exploring the area; a Gordon Lightfoot concert; a trip to Mexico; his plans to return home; and plans for going back to school.","Almost eighty letters from the mid-1970s document the two years Pancake spent teaching at the Fork Union Military Academy (1974-1975) and the Staunton Military Academy (1975-1976) in Virginia. Fork Union letters primarily describe his teaching and social life. Topics include his classes and students; hiking on his own and with his students; his friendship with Matthew Heard; his finances and expenses; and his growing unhappiness in his position. Letters from the fall of 1975 relate to the death of his father that September and the death of Matthew Heard two weeks later. Pancake also writes about his teaching; his stories, including \"The Mark\" and \"The Hollow\"; his social life; moving into Sarah Nutt's apartment; his new car; family and friends; and his plans to attend the University of Virginia. Mixed within his news about daily activities are comments about his desire to keep getting better in life; not being satisfied with life; his desire to be himself; and on not understanding people.","Approximately 135 letters from the fall of 1976 to the spring of 1979 document Breece's life during his three years in the creative writing program at the University of Virginia. They describe his difficult adjustment to graduate school and life in Charlottesville as well as his success with writing and publishing his short stories. Topics related to his coursework, professors, and writing include the demands of graduate school; John Casey; Richard Jones; James McPherson; Mary Lee Settle; Peter Taylor; the progress of his writing; publishing his short stories in The Atlantic Monthly; his literary executorship; and searching for teaching jobs. Pancake also writes about his personal life, daily activities, and his surroundings. These topics include his finances; his social life, including girlfriend Emily Miller; visits to Sarah Nutt; his participation in the local Catholic Church; his landlady, Virginia Meade; and class consciousness in Charlottesville. Breece's letters from 1977 to 1979 also reveal his feelings of isolation and unease in Charlottesville and his homesickness for West Virginia. Also included are several letters received after Breece's death in April 1979.","Series 2. Helen Pancake Correspondence, 1952-1994 and undated (bulk 1975-1994), consists of more than 700 letters written to and from Helen Pancake. With the exception of a few early letters, most of the correspondence begins after Breece's death in April 1979. Letters from 1979 and 1980 are largely sympathy notes containing explanations of how people knew Breece and what he meant to them. Primary topics in most of the letters are the publication of Breece's stories and book and projects related to Breece's work, including films, plays, and articles based on his stories. Scattered throughout are letters from people describing how Breece touched their lives. This series is arranged in alphabetical order according to the last name of the correspondent. Folders also contain any other letters from that correspondent. For example, the John Casey folders include not only letters between Casey and Helen, but also letters between Casey and other people related to his role as Breece's literary executor. Letters from Helen Pancake are usually identified as copies; some are handwritten while others are photocopies.","Many of the correspondents can be grouped into the following categories: Breece's friends, (Kathleen Devereux, Matt Jennings, Matthew Heard, Sarah Nutt, John Shaffer, and Rick Wilson); people connected to Breece's life at the University of Virginia (John Casey, Richard Jones, James McPherson, girlfriend Emily Miller, landlady Virginia Meade, Raymond Nelson, Father Pat O'Connor, Charles Perdue, Peter Taylor, and Anthony Winner); Breece's former professors and students (including Michael Beasley, John Harrison, John McKernan, William Sullivan, and Albert Wilhelm); editors at The Atlantic Monthly and others associated with publishing Breece's stories (Phoebe-Lou Adams, Peter Davison, and Robert Manning and editors at Antaeus); people working on projects related to Breece's stories (Russ Barbour of WPBY-TV in West Virginia, filmmaker Jeffrey Davidson, biographer and historian Thomas Douglass, woodcut artist Richard Gerber, filmmaker and producer Mark Rance, and writer Topper Sherwood); people who wrote about Breece's life and work (Grace Toney Edwards, John Foster, Paul Hendrickson, Darla Radcliffe, and Robert Sumney); Helen Pancake's family and friends (Patricia Bins, Helen Heard, Matthew Heard, Charlotte Pancake, Donnetta Pancake, and Susan Maslowski); and other West Virginia authors (Pinckney Benedict, Mary Lee Settle, and Lee Maynard).","Letters from frequent correspondents such as John Casey, Peter Davison, Thomas Douglass, Richard Jones, James McPherson, and Emily Miller comment on additional subjects and provide greater insight into their relationships with Breece and Helen. John Casey was Breece's professor at U.Va., his godfather, and his literary executor. Letters between Casey and Helen date from 1977 to 1993. Early letters relate to Breece's death and his relationship with Casey. Letters from the early 1980s document Casey and Helen's efforts to publish Breece's stories and book and the publication process from their perspective. Later letters comment on projects related to Breece's work and mention Mark Rance, Russ Barbour, and Cynthia Kadohata. Casey also writes frequently of his family and writing, and the letters between him and Helen reveal a friendship that grew out of their mutual loss.","Peter Davison was the poetry editor at The Atlantic Monthly in the early 1980s and later the literary editor for Atlantic Monthly Press.

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).

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).

Gottschalk Memorial Lecturer, University of Louisville (1994), and the Jessie Ball DuPont Visiting Professor, University of Richmond (1994-1995). 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 co-edited Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (1969) [Boxes 1-2]; The African Religious Tradition: Historiography (Associated Publishers, 1987), and New Directions in Civil Rights Studies (University Press of Virginia, 1991). His posthumous magnum opus, Bitter Fruits of Bondage: The Demise of Slavery and the Collapse of the Confederacy, 1861-1865 (University of Virginia Press, 2005), was nationally acclaimed (Boxes 32-38).

He died of complications from a brain aneurysm at the University of Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville, on August 28, 1995, at the age of forty-eight. 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. The Armstead L. Robinson Fellowship Fund was established at the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies in his memory.","The Armstead L.

CWGS finds its origins in an informal Caucus for Women's Concerns formed in 1972 within West Viginia University (WVU) to \"achieve equitable treatment of women.\" In 1977, the Caucus submitted recommendations to then-WVU President Gene Budig regarding the establishment of a women's studies program and an advisory council on women's concerns. In response to these recommendations, the Caucus was officially accepted by the university as the Council for Women's Concerns (CWC), which included a Women's Studies Subcommittee formed to research and help facilitate a formal women's studies program.","The first proposal for a women's studies program was submitted to the CWC by Renata Pore in 1978, upon which a search committee headed by Dr. Enid Portnoy of the English Department was established. In 1980, the Women's Studies Program (WSP) was officially established as an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Judith Stitzel, a founding member of the CWC, was selected to serve as the first part-time coordinator of the WSP.","Under Stitzel's direction, the WSP developed an undergraduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies to be first offered in 1984. Simultaneously, the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) was established in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research to provide a collective space for students to gather. Judith Stitzel was made the founding director of the center, a position she would hold until 1992, making her the longest consecutive director of the center. The CWS would become affiliated with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.","The first undergraduate Certificates in Women's Studies at WVU were awarded to six students in 1986, the same year the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) graduated in Women's Studies. The Carrie Koeteurius Scholarship, which is still offered as of 2024, was first awarded to Deborah Gregory Eck and Lilo Ast in 1987.","One of the early major projects of the CWC, the Women's Centenary, \"Excellence Through Equity\" began planning in 1987 with Dr. Lillian Waugh being chosen as the research coordinator. After several years of planning and research, the Women's Centenary commenced in September 1989 on the 100-year anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to WVU as degree candidates. Events were held over a two-year period, including lecture series, galas, building rededications, historical tours, exhibits, time capsule creations, and county-wide engagements. The Women's Centenary culminated with a convocation in 1991 on the 100-year anniversary of the first woman to graduate from WVU, Harriet Lyon.","In 1992, Judith Stitzel stepped down as director of the CWC, and the position was taken up by Helen Bannan from 1994 to 1998. Under Barbara Howe's directorship from 1998 to 2007, a BA and undergraduate minor in women's studies was established to coexist with the Certificate in Women's Studies. The first WVU women's studies major, Jamie Lynn Baxter, graduated in December 2003.","Janice Spleth served as interim director between 2008 and 2009, before Ann Oberhauser took directorship in 2009. Under her leadership in 2012, the CWC was renamed the Center for Women's and Gender Studies to incorporate a larger scale of classes and topics. After Oberhauser stepped down in 2013, Jennifer Orlikoff took directorship until 2016. Between 2016 and 2019, Cari Carpenter and Kasi Jackson served as interim directors, during which the LGBTQ+ Center was opened. In 2019, Sharon Bird became director, a position she still holds as of October 2024. In 2021, the Center for Women's and Gender Studies moved into its home in the Hodges Hall, Suite 505.","This collection contains materials collected or created by the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) while researching and preparing for the West Virginia University (WVU) Women's Centenary between 1989 and 1991. While research and planning materials are the most prevalent materials in the collection, there are also administrive and ephemeral materials. The majority of materials relate to women at WVU, particularly during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

CWGS finds its origins in an informal Caucus for Women's Concerns formed in 1972 within West Viginia University (WVU) to \"achieve equitable treatment of women.\" In 1977, the Caucus submitted recommendations to then-WVU President Gene Budig regarding the establishment of a women's studies program and an advisory council on women's concerns. In response to these recommendations, the Caucus was officially accepted by the university as the Council for Women's Concerns (CWC), which included a Women's Studies Subcommittee formed to research and help facilitate a formal women's studies program.","The first proposal for a women's studies program was submitted to the CWC by Renata Pore in 1978, upon which a search committee headed by Dr. Enid Portnoy of the English Department was established. In 1980, the Women's Studies Program (WSP) was officially established as an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Judith Stitzel, a founding member of the CWC, was selected to serve as the first part-time coordinator of the WSP.","Under Stitzel's direction, the WSP developed an undergraduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies to be first offered in 1984. Simultaneously, the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) was established in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research to provide a collective space for students to gather. Judith Stitzel was made the founding director of the center, a position she would hold until 1992, making her the longest consecutive director of the center. The CWS would become affiliated with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.","The first undergraduate Certificates in Women's Studies at WVU were awarded to six students in 1986, the same year the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) graduated in Women's Studies. The Carrie Koeteurius Scholarship, which is still offered as of 2024, was first awarded to Deborah Gregory Eck and Lilo Ast in 1987.","One of the early major projects of the CWC, the Women's Centenary, \"Excellence Through Equity\" began planning in 1987 with Dr. Lillian Waugh being chosen as the research coordinator. After several years of planning and research, the Women's Centenary commenced in September 1989 on the 100-year anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to WVU as degree candidates. Events were held over a two-year period, including lecture series, galas, building rededications, historical tours, exhibits, time capsule creations, and county-wide engagements. The Women's Centenary culminated with a convocation in 1991 on the 100-year anniversary of the first woman to graduate from WVU, Harriet Lyon.","In 1992, Judith Stitzel stepped down as director of the CWC, and the position was taken up by Helen Bannan from 1994 to 1998. Under Barbara Howe's directorship from 1998 to 2007, a BA and undergraduate minor in women's studies was established to coexist with the Certificate in Women's Studies. The first WVU women's studies major, Jamie Lynn Baxter, graduated in December 2003.","Janice Spleth served as interim director between 2008 and 2009, before Ann Oberhauser took directorship in 2009. Under her leadership in 2012, the CWC was renamed the Center for Women's and Gender Studies to incorporate a larger scale of classes and topics. After Oberhauser stepped down in 2013, Jennifer Orlikoff took directorship until 2016. Between 2016 and 2019, Cari Carpenter and Kasi Jackson served as interim directors, during which the LGBTQ+ Center was opened. In 2019, Sharon Bird became director, a position she still holds as of October 2024. In 2021, the Center for Women's and Gender Studies moved into its home in the Hodges Hall, Suite 505.","This collection contains materials collected or created by the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) while researching and preparing for the West Virginia University (WVU) Women's Centenary between 1989 and 1991.
