Shaffer was a white male who was raised and attended school in rural West Virginia where he first developed an interest in photography, kindled by a gift of an old camera from his grandmother. He presented papers on photography twice at the West Virginia Science Academy where he made the acquaintance of a physician who invited the young Shaffer to move to Philippi, West Virginia to complete high school and learned about clinical photography. ","Following his high school graduation, Shaffer spent one year at Alderson Broaddus College in Philippi. He enlisted in the United States Army and was posted at the Army Medical Museum where he received further training in photography. His basic training as a medical corpsman took place at Camp Picket and he was assigned to the 3rd Detachment, Medical Museum and Arts Service. Initially deployed to Casablanca in August of 1943, Shaffer spent time in North Africa, Italy, and Germany where he witnessed and photographed the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp and arrived in Berlin just following the German surrender. Shaffer was honorably discharged from the Army on November 16, 1945 and returned to Washington, D.C. where he worked at the Armed Force Institute of Pathology helping to identify the many photographs and films he made while overseas. He also continued his education at George Washington University. ","On January 1, 1947 Shaffer started his affiliation with the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) as Director of Visual Education. This new department would provide photography and art illustrations for the School of Medicine.  During his 37-year tenure Shaffer built a large department responsible for audiovisual services and instructional support. At Shaffer's suggestion the School of Dentistry introduced closed circuit television in 1953, one of the first institutions in the United States to use this technology in educating dental students. As a result of his success in his role as director, the MCV Board of Visitors appointed him as an assistant professor in 1966. He subsequently rose through the ranks to full profession in 1979 in spite of the fact that he did not earn a college degree.","Shaffer was active professionally in a number of photography, educational, and biomedical communications organizations. He was a founder and charter member of the Health Sciences Communications Association and Association of Medical Television Broadcasters. Shaffer served in leadership roles in both organizations. During the last fifteen years of his career at MCV and then Virginia Commonwealth University, he consulted extensively with medical institutions in the United States and abroad. He worked with both the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization advising about audio-visual services and instruction. His department was considered by many as the model for supporting health sciences education. His consulting took him to Mexico, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Brazil, and other countries.","Early in his career Shaffer developed an interest in aviation possibly a result of his experiences in the military during World War II. He became a skilled pilot and frequently flew planes over MCV to capture aerial images illustrating the physical growth of the institution. Shaffer retired in 1984 and remained in Richmond for some years while serving on local airport advisory boards. He later relocated to Green Valley Arizona where he passed away on January 25, 2021. Shafer and his wife of 67 years, Edith, had two sons. ","This collection consists of materials retained by Melvin C. Shaffer from his tenure at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) and later donated to Virginia Commonwealth University. The collection primarily documents his consulting and professional work in biomedical communication from his appointment as director of Visual Education in 1947 until his retirement in 1984. There is correspondence related to his position including his hiring in 1947 and some activities in Visual Education but no extensive documentation related to the operation of his department. ","The collection includes correspondence, 1947-1987, certificates, publications, photographs, newspaper clippings, and other printed materials related to his work. There are photographs of the television system Shaffer developed in the School of Dentistry to support dental education, one of the first in the United States. The images show the television studio, equipment, classroom,  and operatory in the School of Dentistry. The collection also includes photographs of Shaffer and one image Shaffer captured of the Dalai Lama. There are patent documents related to the \"Shaffer Bronchoscope,\" an instrument used for diagnosis, treatment, and photography of the trachea bronchial tree. Shaffer collaborated with Dr. William E. Pembleton on its development. The United State Patent office issued Shaffer letters patent for the device in 1955. Shaffer designated the Medical College of Virginia Foundation as the recipeint of commissions from the manufacture of the instrument. Other documents of note are Dr. William T. Sanger's plan for an academic village at MCV and the organization charts, position descriptions, and background information related to the creation of University Libraries and Visual Education Services at VCU in 1981.

The three librarians behind this meeting are considered MAC's founders: Estelle Brodman, Scott Adams, and Ida Marian Robinson. "," At the second meeting, in 1953, a study committee recommended that the group affiliate with the Medical Library Association, but retain semi-independent status. Passage of the 1964 Library Assistance Act led to grouping Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina together as Region IV. Similarly the Washington area group expanded its boarders to take in North Carolina, formerly associated with a southern group, and West Virginia. In the early years the group had no formal officers although a chair was designated to handle the details of the annual meetings. The meetings rotated between the various states of the group. "," At the 1971 annual meeting, the group's name was changed to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Group (MARG). Three years later the group began discussions to establish a more formal organizational framework to coincide with discussions held at the national level. MLA adopted a new group structure in 1979 that brought additional changes for MARG. "," In 1981 MARG was reorganized into a chapter, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC). It completed its mandatory three-year test for compliance with MLA chapter guidelines in 1985. The semiannual newsletter,  MAC Messages , began in 1984. The newsletter would become quarterly in 1986, then bimonthly in 1990.  MAC Messages  was published  online  beginning in 1995.

Mason Memorial Scholarship Foundation","The Mildred A. Mason Memorial Scholarship Foundation was established in 1983 by a group of Mason's friends following her death earlier that year. Mason dedicated her professional career to nursing and vocational education. Her friends and colleagues created this scholarship to show their gratitude for the outstanding work she accomplished over her thirty year career. The minutes of the first meeting stated their intention that the scholarship be a \"living memorial to a Great Lady\" and that the \"contributions made by the friends of Dr. Mason will enhance and inspire the lives of the students and or teachers who will be the recipient of such funds.\" ","The board of the foundation was composed of representatives from organizations that Mason worked with during her career including the Virginia Licensed Practical Nurse Association, the Virginia Health Occupations Education Association, Old Dominion University, and Norfolk Public Schools Vocational Technical Center. The board also had to include educators from the fields of health occupations education and trade and industrial education as well as members of her family. The foundation set an initial fundraising goal of $10,000 to begin a scholarship and planned to invest the funds to sustain an annual award of at least $500 to a health occupation student or educator seeking further education. The foundation raised money by soliciting donations from friends and colleagues of Mason, holding raffles at various health care related conferences, and from donations given by organizations such as the Virginia Health Occupations Education Association. Scholarship criteria and applications were distributed to schools with health occupation programs and high school guidance departments. In 1985 the foundation awarded its first scholarship. After 1987 the foundation awarded two or more scholarships each year in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000. ","In 2011 a board member raised concerns about the future of the foundation. The foundation had successfully maintained the scholarship fund for nearly 30 years and between 1985 and 2012 made 79 awards totaling $43,800. However, the core members were aging and it was becoming more difficult to secure outside donations for the fund. The board decided to explore alternative arrangements for the scholarship funds. The foundation approached Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) about their willingness to become the new home of the Mason Scholarship and ultimately selected VCU. On May 5, 2012 the foundation's board voted to dissolve the organization and transferred the remaining funds to the Medical College of Virginia Foundation as an endowed scholarship for nursing students. The Mildred A. Mason Memorial Scholarship is now awarded to students enrolled in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing. ","Mildred A. Mason","Mildred Alfy Mason was born in Oxford, North Carolina on May 21, 1925. She was raised in her family's home in Clarksville, Virginia where she attended public school. In 1943 she entered Johnston-Willis School of Nursing in Richmond and enrolled in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, a federal government program designed to accelerate and expand the number of trained nurses during World War II. After graduation from Johnston-Willis, Mason worked as a private duty nurse in Richmond, then took a post graduate course in obstetrical nursing at Margaret Hague Hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey. ","In 1947, Mason began the defining work of her career when she became an instructor in the Norfolk Public Schools and at the Leigh Memorial Hospital School of Practical Nursing. In 1960, she became supervisor of health occupations for the Norfolk Public Schools when a second cooperative program was opened with Norfolk General Hospital. In that role she led the development of nurse aide instruction, health occupations classes at a Norfolk high school and a third practical nursing program at the Norfolk Technical Vocational Center (NTVC). She also designed evening class offerings for LPNs and refresher courses for RNs returning to practice. When the three practical nursing programs merged to create the Central School of Practical Nursing at the NTVC she assisted in obtaining accreditation from the National Association for Practical Nurse Education and Services for the school. ","Throughout these years, Mason continued her education receiving a B.S. degree in nursing education from Duke University, a master's in Education from the University of Virginia, and her doctoral degree in Education from Virginia Tech. An active member of Virginia Nurses Association and the Virginia League for Nursing, Mason served as Chair of the National League for Nursing Council on Practical Nursing Programs. She authored the first textbook on medical surgical nursing for practical nursing students in 1959 which continued through six editions with the collaboration of various co-authors until 1996. Mason became associate professor of trade, industrial and health occupations education at Old Dominion University, a position she held until her untimely death on April 25, 1983.","Mason's family and friends established a scholarship fund in her memory to recognize her commitment to nursing and vocational education. In 2000 the Virginia Nurses Association honored Mason posthumously by naming her a Virginia Pioneer Nurse. She was also inducted into the Virginia Nursing Hall of Fame in 2013. ","This collection includes the records for the foundation from its inception in 1983 to its dissolution in 2012 and the transfer of the remaining endowment funds to the Medical College of Virginia Foundation in 2013. Materials include the articles of incorporation, bylaws, board meeting minutes, financial records, correspondence, promotional materials, a brief history of the foundation, the records pertaining to the dissolution and transfer of funds, and other related materials.

Inge relating to his academic studies of the comic arts, popular culture, and American literature. The bulk of the collection is dated from the 1950s onward and is made up of many unique items collected by Inge covering the history of the comic arts. Manuscripts by Inge and other writers are also included. The collection contains correspondence with a number of noted artists and writers, including Art Spiegelman, Mort Walker, Bruce Duncan, and Harold Foster, and comic arts scholars. The collection includes advertisements, fan club materials, posters, art prints, animation cells, comic strip and comic book samples, comic and animation character drinking glasses, numerous buttons, records, and various other collectable items. Other materials incorporate Inge's interests in American literature and include typescript copies of the Ellen Glasgow Newsletter and Frontier Home, copies of literary journals, numerous publications, and correspondence. The collection also contains items of Dr. Inge's own personal collection of materials ranging from his grade school papers and school yearbooks to an autograph scrapbook and EC Fan Club dating from the 1950s.The collection includes a very large collection of reference journals including fanzines, newsletters, journals, and numerous other periodicals related to the comic arts. These periodical titles focus on the history and art of comic books and comic strips, cartoonists, comic book and comic strip characters, animation, and other aspects of the comic arts and popular culture. These materials, and the hundreds of comic books and reference books donated by Dr. Inge, have been incorporated into their own individual collections.","Monday through Saturday ","1973: September 28 ","October 6 -

Thomas Inge, Ph.D. is the Robert Emory Blackwell Professor of English and the Humanities at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. A native of Newport News, Virginia, he received his B.A. degree in English and Spanish from Randolph-Macon College in 1959 and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English and American literature from Vanderbilt University in 1960 and 1964 respectively. After teaching at Vanderbilt University, he became a member of the Department of American Thought and Language at Michigan State University from 1964 to1969, when he joined the Department of English at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. He served as Chair of the department from 1974 to 1980 and then was Head of the Department of English at Clemson University in South Carolina. From 1982 to 1984, he was appointed Resident Scholar in American Studies by the U.S. Information Agency in Washington.","As a senior Fulbright Lecturer, Inge has taught at the University of Salamanca in Spain (1967-68) and at three institutions in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1971). On a third Fulbright appointment in 1979, he offered courses on American humor and literary regionalism at Moscow State University in the Soviet Union. As resident Scholar with USIA, he consulted and lectured abroad in eighteen countries, including France, Italy, Portugal, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the People's Republic of China. More recently, he has lectured in Poland, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Denmark, England, Germany, and the Czech Republic. At the invitation of the Gorky Institute, he returned to the Soviet Union to participate in conferences on Sholokhov and Faulkner and the works of Eudora Welty. He has led travel-study courses to the Soviet Union in 1988 and China in 1989, and in 1994 he taught at Charles University in Prague on a fourth Fulbright lectureship.","Among others, Inge teaches courses in American humor and satire and is the author or editor of over fifty books. His three-volume Handbook of American Popular Culture was cited by the American Library Association as an outstanding reference work in 1979 and was issued in a revised and expanded edition in 1989. In addition to his continuing interests in literature, Inge is also engaged in research on the history and development of American comic art, which resulted in his book \"Comics as Culture.\"","More recent publications include \"Anything Can Happen in a Comic Strip,\" a study of self-referentiality in the comics, and \"Charles M. Schulz: Conversations, a collection of interviews with the creator of Peanuts,\" the first in a series of such collections for which Inge is serving as the general editor for the University Press of Mississippi. Works in progress include books on the relations between American literature and the comics and the adaptation process in the films of Walt Disney.\"","This biography is from the website Witty World: International Cartoon Centerat http://www.wittyworld.com/bios/bioinge.html.

Inge relating to his academic studies of the comic arts, popular culture, and American literature. The bulk of the collection is dated from the 1950s onward and is made up of many unique items collected by Inge covering the history of the comic arts. Manuscripts by Inge and other writers are also included. The collection contains correspondence with a number of noted artists and writers, including Art Spiegelman, Mort Walker, Bruce Duncan, and Harold Foster, and comic arts scholars. The collection includes advertisements, fan club materials, posters, art prints, animation cells, comic strip and comic book samples, comic and animation character drinking glasses, numerous buttons, records, and various other collectable items. Other materials incorporate Inge's interests in American literature and include typescript copies of the Ellen Glasgow Newsletter and Frontier Home, copies of literary journals, numerous publications, and correspondence. The collection also contains items of Dr. Inge's own personal collection of materials ranging from his grade school papers and school yearbooks to an autograph scrapbook and EC Fan Club dating from the 1950s.The collection includes a very large collection of reference journals including fanzines, newsletters, journals, and numerous other periodicals related to the comic arts. These periodical titles focus on the history and art of comic books and comic strips, cartoonists, comic book and comic strip characters, animation, and other aspects of the comic arts and popular culture. These materials, and the hundreds of comic books and reference books donated by Dr. Inge, have been incorporated into their own individual collections.","Monday through Saturday ","1973: September 28 ","October 6 -
