Hamm, a civil rights activist in Arlington, Virginia. However, almost the entire collection contains the papers she and her husband, E. Leslie Hamm, collected or created during their tenure serving their neighborhood citizens association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association for the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood, a historically African-American community in Arlington. \n","Dorothy M. Hamm first became involved in civil rights in Arlington as a plaintiff in the civil suit filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that successfully desegregated Arlington Public Schools. Dorothy and her husband filed in May 1956 to admit their son E. Leslie Hamm Jr. to Stratford Junior High, an all-white school. Due to the Hamm's efforts, plus other Arlingtonians, Clarissa Thompson, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Lance Newman became the first black students admitted to a white school in Arlington (Stratford Junior High) on February 2, 1959. Hamm's son gained admittance to the school seven months later. Afterward, Dorothy became involved in other civil rights activities to integrate interscholastic athletics and other extracurricular activities in Arlington County Schools, to eliminate the discriminatory pupil placement form, to desegregate Arlington theaters, eliminate the poll tax, and remove race designation from public forms and voting records. Additionally, Hamm wrote several plays to promote African-American history and culture in the area. Her play Our Heritage: Slavery to Freedom 1766-1976 became an official bicentennial event in 1976 in Arlington County. She also wrote Our Struggle for Equality-25 Years Ago in 1984 for Black History Month and A Woman Called Moses about Harriet Tubman, presented at the Northern Virginia Folk Life Festival in 1985. \n","Hamm was born in Caroline County, Virginia, in 1919 and grew up in Fairfax County. She attended Miner Teachers College in Washington, D.C. In the early 1940s, she started work as a file clerk for the Veterans Administration. She eventually worked as an administrative assistant in the Treasury Department, Bureau of Engraving, at the Pentagon. In 1963, she retired from government work in the Surgeon General's Office. She then served as an officer of elections in Arlington County for twenty-seven years. Hamm was a delegate to the county and state Democratic conventions in 1964. She also became one of the first African Americans elected to a political party in Arlington County, elected to represent the Woodlawn precinct for the Democratic Committee. During her political career, she served as the county assistant registrar, the chief election officer in the Woodlawn precinct, and chairwoman of community voter registration drives.  \n","Hamm and her husband moved to the Hall's Hill/High View Park neighborhood around 1950 and built their own home at 1900 N Cameron Street. They quickly became involved in the community and were active in their neighborhood association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association. Each served on several committees and in leadership positions. Dorothy even served as president of the citizens association during the 1960s and 1970s. Her husband Leslie served as the community representative to the Arlington County neighborhood conservation program to improve streets, gutters, sidewalks, and curb appeal in the Hall's Hill/Highview Park neighborhood. \n","The John M. Langston Citizens Association precedes the Hamm family by a number of years. The citizens association was created in 1924 to provide services for the Hall's Hill Neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded from the north by Lee Highway, on the east by Buchanan Street/Culpepper Street, on the west by George Mason Drive, and on the south by 16th Street/17th Road/17th Street. The neighborhood was settled by newly freed slaves just after the Civil War, making it one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in Arlington. It was named Hall's Hill because the upper portion of the neighborhood originally was owned by William Marcey and Basil Hall. Hall sold much of his land to his freed slaves. The neighborhood was renamed High View Park in 1965 because of the spectacular view of Arlington County it offers. At the time, some residents thought the neighborhood was renamed to make it more palatable to prospective white residents.\nIn the 1800s, the neighborhood was relatively rural and simple. Residents had large gardens and raised hogs, chickens, and horses. Eventually, residents established their own stores and churches during the early 1900s. Until the 1950s, the neighborhood was separated on three sides from adjoining all-white neighborhoods by an 8-foot-high wooden fence, built by white homeowners whose houses backed up on lots in the Hall's Hill neighborhood. Despite being cut off from their surroundings and many county services during the early 20th century, the neighborhood developed its own fire station, community-wide events and celebrations, block parties, and even a community baseball team, known as the Virginia White Sox. Since the latter half of the 20th century, residents and the citizens' association fought to keep their neighborhood's character and space alive. Nearby Arlington Hospital and WETA-TV attempted to build medical offices and satellites in the neighborhood. White, middle-class residents starting buying homes in the neighborhood for the first time in the late 1970s due to the area's lower than average sale prices. \n","In 2018, the John M. Langston Citizens Association noted on its website that the neighborhood still maintained \"an identity as a strong black community, the High View Park is a neighborhood is better represented by more racial diversity as new residents moved into the neighborhood. These new and long term residents still work together to maintain the historical, cultural and aesthetic values of the High View Park Neighborhood.\" The association still works to promote civic spirit and participation and foster communication among residents and property owners, as well as to preserve, enhance, and promote general welfare and safety of the neighborhood. \n","In 1987, Dorothy Hamm moved back to Caroline County, Virginia. She died on May 14, 2004.\n","Related records include organizations Dorothy Hamm was involved with, including  RG 44 League of Women Voters ,  RG 127 Arlington County Bicentennial Task Force  (unprocessed as of July 2018),  RG 165 Records of Northern Virginia Folk Festival Association  (unprocessed as of July 2018). Others that might shed light on the desegregation civil suit include  RG 7 Arlington County Public Schools ,  RG 48 NAACP Arlington Branch , and  RG 69 Arlington County Public Schools Desegregation Materials . For additional records related to the John M. Langston Citizens Association, see  RG 14 Records of Arlington County Civic Federation  and  PG 218 Ernest E Johnson Photographs , which includes photographs taken at the Langston Community Center in High View Park.\n","The materials in this collection have been created and managed by many different members of the John M. Langston Citizens Association. Dorothy Hamm and E. Leslie Hamm, Sr. were the last owners of the collection, both of whom were active members of the association since the early 1950s until the 1980s. As such, few items in the collection may be related to the other civic activities of Dorothy Hamm, such as Hamm's political and playwriting careers. However, since such materials are far and few between, and interwoven into the vast collection of Citizens Association materials, it is difficult to tell whether Hamm simply filed materials together or whether she promoted these activities in the Citizens Association. \n","The collection spans just over three linear feet and covers the years 1937 to 1977. The bulk of materials date from the late 1940s to late 1960s. Materials cover the activities of the John M. Langston Citizens Association, which promotes civic participation and represents residents' interests in the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood in North Arlington. The collection features a large selection of meeting minutes, mostly from general meetings of the association. Some extant minutes from special committees, as well as the Colored Federation of Citizens' Associations of Arlington, of which the association was a member, remain. The collection also contains a large portion of financial records, which include reports, receipts, check stubs and money draft records, and lists of which members paid monthly dues. There are some membership applications and cards; however, the lists of monthly dues provide a better record of participants. \n","Files related to issues and initiatives the association tackled, which appear to mainly have been collected by the Dorothy and E. Leslie Hamm, comprise another large part of the collection. Most of these records relate to the Neighborhood Conservation program Arlington County started in the 1960s to help residents improve their neighborhoods through sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation; street, traffic and parking improvement; recreation enterprises, like parks and playgrounds; and other similar enterprises. The collection here provides excellent resources that capture the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood's participation, and also contains reports and minutes E. Leslie Hamm collected attending meetings that relate to the activities of other neighborhoods in Arlington. Another rather large collection of these records relates to clean-up/beautification of High View Park/Hall's Hill that Dorothy Hamm spearheaded. \n","Other materials include one photograph, and correspondence and publications received by the association from other organizations in the County.\n","There are no restrictions.\n","Hamm, Dorothy M., 1919-2004","Hamm, E.

At the time, some residents thought the neighborhood was renamed to make it more palatable to prospective white residents.\nIn the 1800s, the neighborhood was relatively rural and simple. Residents had large gardens and raised hogs, chickens, and horses. Eventually, residents established their own stores and churches during the early 1900s. Until the 1950s, the neighborhood was separated on three sides from adjoining all-white neighborhoods by an 8-foot-high wooden fence, built by white homeowners whose houses backed up on lots in the Hall's Hill neighborhood. Despite being cut off from their surroundings and many county services during the early 20th century, the neighborhood developed its own fire station, community-wide events and celebrations, block parties, and even a community baseball team, known as the Virginia White Sox. Since the latter half of the 20th century, residents and the citizens' association fought to keep their neighborhood's character and space alive. Nearby Arlington Hospital and WETA-TV attempted to build medical offices and satellites in the neighborhood. White, middle-class residents starting buying homes in the neighborhood for the first time in the late 1970s due to the area's lower than average sale prices. \n","In 2018, the John M. Langston Citizens Association noted on its website that the neighborhood still maintained \"an identity as a strong black community, the High View Park is a neighborhood is better represented by more racial diversity as new residents moved into the neighborhood. These new and long term residents still work together to maintain the historical, cultural and aesthetic values of the High View Park Neighborhood.\" The association still works to promote civic spirit and participation and foster communication among residents and property owners, as well as to preserve, enhance, and promote general welfare and safety of the neighborhood. \n","In 1987, Dorothy Hamm moved back to Caroline County, Virginia.

When possible, original file names from the accretions have been preserved in quotes (\" \") and additions to titles from the archivist have been included in brackets ([ ]) where clarification was needed.  \n","Series 1  covers Bozman's campaigns for the Arlington County Board. It is divided into six subseries, one for each campaign (1973, 1977, 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993), to help researchers find relevant materials. It reflects Bozman's original organizational schema of filing her campaign materials by year. For additional press coverage during campaigns and elections, researchers may find Series 6 of use (see below).\n","Series 2  contains Bozman's speeches, written statements, and remarks.  Series 3  holds the few working files we have from Bozman's civic career before the County Board.  Series 4  has Bozman's remaining working files from her tenure on the County Board. To aid the researcher, this series has been divided into four subseries based on subject matter: Human Services; Development, Planning, and Parks; Financial; and Other/Assorted. \n","All the above series maintain original order. The archivist decided to construct  Series 5  (correspondence),  Series 6  (press),  Series 7  (photographs), and  Series 8  (subject files) to help the researcher find appropriate materials. The large majority of these materials originally were loose and mixed together in large manila envelopes (except for the \"Good Complaints\" file in  Series 5 , \"Washingtonian of the Year\" file in  Series 6 , and the \"Photographs\" file in  Series 7 ). Many of these envelopes were labeled with just the approximate year the materials enclosed dated from (i.e. \"1976\"). Many of these contained mostly newspaper clippings, some of which were labeled \"Press, 1976\" etc. Any correspondence or other supplemental materials that referenced clippings, press appearances, or other instances of Bozman in the media were kept in the Press series. \n","Series 5  and Series 6 are arranged chronologically. Series 6 is divided into two subseries, one for clippings, which includes articles from local newspapers, newsletters and government publications Bozman is featured in, as well as any correspondence that referenced a specific newspaper article. The second subseries of  Series 6  contains materials on the awards Bozman won, which includes clippings, certificates, and letters of congratulations. All newspaper clippings in Series 6 (and the rest of the collection) have been photocopied and the originals thrown away for preservation purposes. Series 7 contains approximately sixty photographs. Series 8 contains miscellaneous materials that did not fit well into any other series. \n","Ellen M. Bozman, a community activist and politician for Arlington County, guided Arlington as it transitioned from a suburban to urban community during the latter half of the 20th century. Though perhaps most well-known as the longest serving Arlington County Board member (1974-1997), Bozman's civic influence extended beyond her tenure as a board member through participation in various community organizations and governmental bodies. \n","Bozman's work prior to the County Board is associated with human relations and planning. As part of the League of Women Voters, Bozman conducted educational programs to assist with the integration of the public school system in Arlington in the 1950s. Later, as a member of the Community Relations Committee in the 1960s, which researched and reported on acts of discrimination to the Arlington County Board, she investigated County hiring practices of African-Americans and pushed for the adaption of non-discriminatory policies. As part of the County's Planning Commission from 1971-1973, Bozman focused on ways to revitalize Clarendon, Arlington's major commercial center at the time, which was soon to be disrupted by the coming Metrorail. Before running for the County Board, Bozman gained other leadership experience chairing Arlington's Health and Welfare Council, the Committee of 100, and serving as President of the Church Council of the Rock Spring Congregational Church.  \n","Bozman ran for the County Board in 1973 as an Independent candidate, though she was backed by the local Democratic party. She ran on a platform that promoted controlled growth, especially around new Metro corridors, opposition to Interstate 66 in favor of other mass-transit options, maintaining neighborhoods, increasing park and recreational space, and providing new services to retired and elderly residents. She captured more than fifty percent of the vote in a three-way race, becoming the first woman elected to the County Board since 1958. Bozman won all of her subsequent elections. She ran as an Independent candidate in every race except for her last election in 1993, during which she ran as a Democrat. She served as chairman of the County Board in 1976, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1992, and 1997. \n","As a board member, Bozman was known for advocating for improving child care, such as starting extended-day programs at schools, providing services to elderly residents (including getting the first nursing homes built in Arlington), and advocating for tenant rights and affordable housing. She was instrumental in bringing the Metrorail through Arlington, including fighting to keep costs down for Arlington residents. Her careful eye and knack for planning ensured that Metro corridors between Rosslyn and Ballston were developed with plenty of high-rise buildings containing retail, living, and office space. However, she made sure other areas of Arlington remained full of parks, recreation areas, and single-family dwellings. Bozman also instituted the first farmers market in the county at Arlington Courthouse, and Neighborhood Day, an annual countywide block party to celebrate the diverse neighborhoods Arlington offers. \nAs a board member and citizen, Bozman held leadership or membership roles in numerous local organizations. \n","Known commissions, groups, and organizations she was a part of are listed below in alphabetical order. Approximate dates and positions held are included, if known: \n","\nAlliance for Housing Solutions \n\t--Founder \nArlington Community Foundation \n\t--President, 2002 \n\t--Chairwoman of Board of Directors, 2003 \nArlington County Planning Commission (1971-1973) \n\t--Chairman, Clarendon Center Committee \nArlington Health and Welfare Council, Chairman (1967-1969) \nArlington Health Center Commission \nArlington Symphony \n\t--President, 2001 \nCommittee of One Hundred, Chairman (1970-1971) \nCommunity Appearance Alliance \nGovernor's Advisory Council on Local Government (1976-1978, 1982-1985) \nHealth and Welfare Council of National Capital Area (1967-1971) \nLeague of Women Voters, 1960s/1970s \n\t--President: 1963-1965 \n\t--Development Committee: 1971 \nMetropolitan Air Quality Committee, Chair (1993) \nMetropolitan Washington Council of Governments \n\t--Board of Directors: 1975-1978, 1984 \n\t--Human Relations Committee: 1979-1985 (Chair, 1981-1983) \n\t--Chairman: 1988-1989 \nNorthern Virginia Planning District Commission (1974-1982) \n\t -Chairman: 1975-1977\nNorthern Virginia Potomac River Basin Committee (1989, 1993) \nNorthern Virginia Regional Park Authority (1963-1967) \nNorthern Virginia Transportation Commission (1978-1993, Chairman-1983, 1991) \nRock Springs United Church of Christ, President of Church Council, (1971-1973) \nVeterans Branch YMCA \nVirginia Association of Counties, Executive Board (1974-1979, 1984-1992) \nVirginia Home Care Alliance \nWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, member\n","In 2017, the Arlington County Board voted to rename the county building at 2100 Clarendon Boulevard at Courthouse Plaza the Ellen M. Bozman Government Center to honor Bozman's 24 years of service to the County Board. \n","Bozman was born in Springfield, Illinois, as Ellen McConnell in 1925. She graduated from Northwestern University in 1946 with a degree in political science. After graduating, she moved to Washington, D.C, later working in the U.S. Bureau of Budget from 1947-1952. She married William M. Bozman. She died on January 8, 2009 in Arlington, Virginia at age eighty-three. \n","Since Bozman was such an active figure in Arlington County, many other collections in the Center for Local History holdings might be useful to researchers. For those interested in her campaigns,  RG 26, Campaign Literature  may contain more publicity materials featuring Bozman during each election, plus many of the materials of her opposing candidates.  RG 94 Arlingtonians for a Better County  or  RG 31 Miscellaneous Records of Non-Partisan Political Organizations , which includes more records from the ABC may shed light on Bozman's political campaigns, since she was endorsed by the ABC in all elections. \n","Additionally, researchers may find the collections of some of the groups Bozman was active in helpful, such as  RG 44 League of Women Voters ,  RG 54 Arlington Symphony  (partially-processed as of 2018),  RG 130 Arlington County Planning Commission , and  RG 336 Committee of 100  (unprocessed as of 2018).  \n","Lastly, a number of collections can help researchers uncover more about Bozman's career on the County Board, including  RG 58 Arlington County Government Publications  and  RG 172 Arlington County Board  (in-process as of 2018). Collections related to issues Bozman testified on and worked toward as a County Board Member, such as  RG 37 Metropolitan Washington Airports ,  RG 39 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority , or  RG 43 I-66 , may be of use. \n","This collection spans approximately three linear feet and contains materials covering the dates 1960-2003. The bulk of the materials date from the late 1970s to early 1990s. The documents and photographs within the collection offer a glimpse of Bozman's incredibly active civic life in Arlington County. A vast majority of the materials cover Bozman's six campaigns for the Arlington County Board, which include campaign binders that contain campaign literature, precinct operations information, letters to voters, press schedules, opposition research, speeches, and the like. The collection also features a large collection of press clippings from newspapers and various newsletters in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. that detail Bozman's duties and public life as an Arlington County Board member. There are smaller collections of Bozman's speeches (given before, during, and after her service on the County Board), a selection of her working papers as a County Board member and prior service on the Community Relations Committee, and correspondence. Lastly, the collection contains a small number of photographs that all primarily depict Bozman at events as a County Board member, though some after retirement depict her on vacation with her husband or at other community events.\n","There are no restrictions.\n","Bozman, Ellen M., 1925-2009","English\n"],"unitid_tesim":["RG 333\n"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Ellen M.

When possible, original file names from the accretions have been preserved in quotes (\" \") and additions to titles from the archivist have been included in brackets ([ ]) where clarification was needed.  \n","Series 1  covers Bozman's campaigns for the Arlington County Board. It is divided into six subseries, one for each campaign (1973, 1977, 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993), to help researchers find relevant materials. It reflects Bozman's original organizational schema of filing her campaign materials by year. For additional press coverage during campaigns and elections, researchers may find Series 6 of use (see below).\n","Series 2  contains Bozman's speeches, written statements, and remarks.  Series 3  holds the few working files we have from Bozman's civic career before the County Board.  Series 4  has Bozman's remaining working files from her tenure on the County Board. To aid the researcher, this series has been divided into four subseries based on subject matter: Human Services; Development, Planning, and Parks; Financial; and Other/Assorted. \n","All the above series maintain original order. The archivist decided to construct  Series 5  (correspondence),  Series 6  (press),  Series 7  (photographs), and  Series 8  (subject files) to help the researcher find appropriate materials. The large majority of these materials originally were loose and mixed together in large manila envelopes (except for the \"Good Complaints\" file in  Series 5 , \"Washingtonian of the Year\" file in  Series 6 , and the \"Photographs\" file in  Series 7 ). Many of these envelopes were labeled with just the approximate year the materials enclosed dated from (i.e. \"1976\"). Many of these contained mostly newspaper clippings, some of which were labeled \"Press, 1976\" etc. Any correspondence or other supplemental materials that referenced clippings, press appearances, or other instances of Bozman in the media were kept in the Press series. \n","Series 5  and Series 6 are arranged chronologically. Series 6 is divided into two subseries, one for clippings, which includes articles from local newspapers, newsletters and government publications Bozman is featured in, as well as any correspondence that referenced a specific newspaper article. The second subseries of  Series 6  contains materials on the awards Bozman won, which includes clippings, certificates, and letters of congratulations. All newspaper clippings in Series 6 (and the rest of the collection) have been photocopied and the originals thrown away for preservation purposes. Series 7 contains approximately sixty photographs.

Bozman, a community activist and politician for Arlington County, guided Arlington as it transitioned from a suburban to urban community during the latter half of the 20th century.

Later, as a member of the Community Relations Committee in the 1960s, which researched and reported on acts of discrimination to the Arlington County Board, she investigated County hiring practices of African-Americans and pushed for the adaption of non-discriminatory policies. As part of the County's Planning Commission from 1971-1973, Bozman focused on ways to revitalize Clarendon, Arlington's major commercial center at the time, which was soon to be disrupted by the coming Metrorail.

The archivist kept original order when possible. However, many disparate materials (outside of bound meeting minutes) were loose or kept in unlabeled folders and envelopes. The archivist developed seven series to organize materials, all based on subject matter. When possible, original file names have been preserved in quotes (\" \") and additions to titles from the archivist have been included in brackets ([ ]) where clarification was needed.  \n","Series 1  contains the meeting minutes of the association, arranged in chronological order. Most of these are minutes for general meetings of the association. A few volumes contain meeting minutes of the Colored Federation of Citizens Associations of Arlington, and special committees, such as the Ways and Means Committee of the association. Folders containing such special meeting minutes are labeled as such. Several bound volumes had loose papers or items stapled to pages. For preservation purposes, the archivist removed such items and placed them in folders with the dates noted. \n","Series 2  houses the financial records of the John M. Langston Citizens Association. This series is divided into four subseries: Reports and Notes; Banking and Accounting; Taxes; and Miscellaneous. Within the subseries, files are arranged in chronological order. \n","Series 3  contains the membership records of the association (except for the membership dues payment lists, which were found with financial records and can be located in Series 2).  Series 4  holds the files detailing community initiatives the association tackled. It is divided into five subseries based on subject matter, including Neighborhood Conservation Program; Clean-Up and Beautification; Recreation and Education; Safety; and Events/Miscellaneous. \n","Series 5  is comprised of materials the association collected from various organizations in the county, some of which they held membership.  Series 6  contains the single photograph found, potentially of an association meeting in the 1950s.  Series 7 , Subject Files, holds all other miscellaneous materials that did not fit well in any of the above series. \n","Oversized materials from this collection are filed separately, as are the artifacts, two ink stamps with the association's name and address for envelopes and letterhead.\n","This collection holds the papers of Dorothy M. Hamm, a civil rights activist in Arlington, Virginia. However, almost the entire collection contains the papers she and her husband, E. Leslie Hamm, collected or created during their tenure serving their neighborhood citizens association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association for the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood, a historically African-American community in Arlington. \n","Dorothy M. Hamm first became involved in civil rights in Arlington as a plaintiff in the civil suit filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that successfully desegregated Arlington Public Schools. Dorothy and her husband filed in May 1956 to admit their son E. Leslie Hamm Jr. to Stratford Junior High, an all-white school. Due to the Hamm's efforts, plus other Arlingtonians, Clarissa Thompson, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Lance Newman became the first black students admitted to a white school in Arlington (Stratford Junior High) on February 2, 1959. Hamm's son gained admittance to the school seven months later. Afterward, Dorothy became involved in other civil rights activities to integrate interscholastic athletics and other extracurricular activities in Arlington County Schools, to eliminate the discriminatory pupil placement form, to desegregate Arlington theaters, eliminate the poll tax, and remove race designation from public forms and voting records. Additionally, Hamm wrote several plays to promote African-American history and culture in the area. Her play Our Heritage: Slavery to Freedom 1766-1976 became an official bicentennial event in 1976 in Arlington County. She also wrote Our Struggle for Equality-25 Years Ago in 1984 for Black History Month and A Woman Called Moses about Harriet Tubman, presented at the Northern Virginia Folk Life Festival in 1985. \n","Hamm was born in Caroline County, Virginia, in 1919 and grew up in Fairfax County. She attended Miner Teachers College in Washington, D.C. In the early 1940s, she started work as a file clerk for the Veterans Administration. She eventually worked as an administrative assistant in the Treasury Department, Bureau of Engraving, at the Pentagon. In 1963, she retired from government work in the Surgeon General's Office. She then served as an officer of elections in Arlington County for twenty-seven years. Hamm was a delegate to the county and state Democratic conventions in 1964. She also became one of the first African Americans elected to a political party in Arlington County, elected to represent the Woodlawn precinct for the Democratic Committee. During her political career, she served as the county assistant registrar, the chief election officer in the Woodlawn precinct, and chairwoman of community voter registration drives.  \n","Hamm and her husband moved to the Hall's Hill/High View Park neighborhood around 1950 and built their own home at 1900 N Cameron Street. They quickly became involved in the community and were active in their neighborhood association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association. Each served on several committees and in leadership positions. Dorothy even served as president of the citizens association during the 1960s and 1970s. Her husband Leslie served as the community representative to the Arlington County neighborhood conservation program to improve streets, gutters, sidewalks, and curb appeal in the Hall's Hill/Highview Park neighborhood. \n","The John M. Langston Citizens Association precedes the Hamm family by a number of years. The citizens association was created in 1924 to provide services for the Hall's Hill Neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded from the north by Lee Highway, on the east by Buchanan Street/Culpepper Street, on the west by George Mason Drive, and on the south by 16th Street/17th Road/17th Street. The neighborhood was settled by newly freed slaves just after the Civil War, making it one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in Arlington. It was named Hall's Hill because the upper portion of the neighborhood originally was owned by William Marcey and Basil Hall. Hall sold much of his land to his freed slaves. The neighborhood was renamed High View Park in 1965 because of the spectacular view of Arlington County it offers. At the time, some residents thought the neighborhood was renamed to make it more palatable to prospective white residents.\nIn the 1800s, the neighborhood was relatively rural and simple. Residents had large gardens and raised hogs, chickens, and horses. Eventually, residents established their own stores and churches during the early 1900s. Until the 1950s, the neighborhood was separated on three sides from adjoining all-white neighborhoods by an 8-foot-high wooden fence, built by white homeowners whose houses backed up on lots in the Hall's Hill neighborhood. Despite being cut off from their surroundings and many county services during the early 20th century, the neighborhood developed its own fire station, community-wide events and celebrations, block parties, and even a community baseball team, known as the Virginia White Sox. Since the latter half of the 20th century, residents and the citizens' association fought to keep their neighborhood's character and space alive. Nearby Arlington Hospital and WETA-TV attempted to build medical offices and satellites in the neighborhood. White, middle-class residents starting buying homes in the neighborhood for the first time in the late 1970s due to the area's lower than average sale prices. \n","In 2018, the John M.

The collection also contains a large portion of financial records, which include reports, receipts, check stubs and money draft records, and lists of which members paid monthly dues. There are some membership applications and cards; however, the lists of monthly dues provide a better record of participants. \n","Files related to issues and initiatives the association tackled, which appear to mainly have been collected by the Dorothy and E. Leslie Hamm, comprise another large part of the collection. Most of these records relate to the Neighborhood Conservation program Arlington County started in the 1960s to help residents improve their neighborhoods through sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation; street, traffic and parking improvement; recreation enterprises, like parks and playgrounds; and other similar enterprises. The collection here provides excellent resources that capture the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood's participation, and also contains reports and minutes E. Leslie Hamm collected attending meetings that relate to the activities of other neighborhoods in Arlington.

Most of these records relate to the Neighborhood Conservation program Arlington County started in the 1960s to help residents improve their neighborhoods through sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation; street, traffic and parking improvement; recreation enterprises, like parks and playgrounds; and other similar enterprises. The collection here provides excellent resources that capture the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood's participation, and also contains reports and minutes E. Leslie Hamm collected attending meetings that relate to the activities of other neighborhoods in Arlington. Another rather large collection of these records relates to clean-up/beautification of High View Park/Hall's Hill that Dorothy Hamm spearheaded. \n","Other materials include one photograph, and correspondence and publications received by the association from other organizations in the County.\n"],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are no restrictions.\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions\n"],"userestrict_tesim":["There are no restrictions.\n"],"names_ssim":["Hamm, Dorothy M., 1919-2004","Hamm, E.

The materials from the first donation and the second accretion were arranged into 21 series, either alphabetically or chronologically. Please note, files from the third accretion have not been folded in alphabetically. When possible, original file names from the third accretion have been preserved in quotes (\" \") and additions to titles from the archivist have been included in brackets ([ ]) where clarification was needed. \n","RG 111 is arranged by type of material (such as Newsletters) or subject (such as Property) within 21 series. Series 5 (Facilities), Series 6 (Financial), and Series 10 (Board of Directors Meetings) have been divided into several subseries by subject to allow the researcher to more efficiently find appropriate resources. Many of the meeting minutes acquired in the second accretion from 2017 (spanning late 1980s until 2017) contain copies of minutes, as well as agendas and supporting documents discussed in meetings, all arranged by meeting date. To preserve original order, the archivist kept these documents together, which can all be found in Subseries 2 of Series 10. Many meeting minutes prior to the late 1980s in this subseries do not contain supplemental materials and their accompanying agendas and treasurer's reports exist in Subseries 1 of Series 10 and Series 6, Subseries 1 respectively. Please note there is some overlap, as meeting minutes from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s were donated prior to the third accretion. \n","Most of the documents in files are arranged by chronological order, except for some meeting minutes, which are arranged in reverse chronological order, as they had been arranged by the AOEA.\n","During the late 1950s, Dr. Phoebe Hall Knipling, the supervisor of secondary science education for Arlington Public Schools (APS) started a summer science enrichment program that incorporated outdoor education for students. The program aimed to improve students' environmental awareness by providing hands-on science experience in nature. During the 1960s, students visited various public and private lands in Northern Virginia, but it became apparent a permanent location for the program would improve the experience. Open land in Arlington County was diminishing fast due to the county's soaring population, as well as increased urbanization and development.\n","In January 1967, Dr. Knipling located a 200-acre site in Fauquier County at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, but APS lacked the funds to purchase the land. In May 1967, Dr. Phoebe Knipling met with representatives of the Natural Sciences for Youth Foundation in Connecticut, who advocated community involvement to acquire the property. Dr. Knipling started, with the help of community representatives, including parents of APS students and five school staff members, the Arlington Outdoor Education Association (AOEA) as a volunteer-run nonprofit on July 3, 1967 to create an outdoor lab exclusively for APS student use. Mrs. Susan T. Baker became the first president. Others first involved included J. Fuller Groom, J. Frederick Abel, Shirley Jolkoviski, Harold Mack, Paul Nelson, Joseph Newlin, and Theodore Taylor. The group began accepting donations and organizing fundraisers to earn the funds necessary to purchase the land. On March 14, 1968, the group purchased the land from Mary Rose Striker, who agreed to sell the property for less than market value to the group. At Dr. Knipling's suggestion, the land became known both as Tahl which translates into Wonderful Valley and as Floraunaretum, meaning \"interaction of flora and fauna in an outdoor setting.\" APS students began to visit the land to observe the forces of nature firsthand and learn about ecosystems and biology, among other topics. \n","After Dr. Knipling retired in 1975, the AOEA board voted to rename the property the Phoebe Hall Knipling Outdoor Laboratory to honor her years of service to science education in Arlington County. The AOEA made the final mortgage payment for the property in November 1978, after a generous donation from Mr. Preston Carruthers. The Outdoor Lab, currently containing about 225 acres, features open fields, forests, wildlife, springs, a lake, as well as hiking trails, camping sites, a classroom, kitchen and dining facilities, observatory, and plant and animal identification areas. The land is reserved exclusively for APS student use. Though the lab is owned, maintained, and managed by the AOEA Board of Directors, APS creates and delivers all educational programs.\n","Researchers may find  RG 7, Arlington County Public Schools , to have related materials.  RG 163, Arlington County School Board Records , should also be consulted. See Series 3, file 64 \"Outdoor and Environmental Education (Outdoor Lab), 1967-1998.\" Papers of board member Valerie Kitchens can also be found in  RG 348, Valerie Kitchens Papers .\n","This collection is approximately 10.75 linear ft. and spans 1947-2017, however the bulk date from 1968-1999. This collection includes the organizational records of the AOEA including financial records, meeting minutes, correspondence, AOEA newsletters and newspaper articles, fundraising materials, and the history of this impressive organization.\n","The Board of Directors meeting minutes ( Series 10 ) and the AOEA newsletters ( Series 11 ) serve as good resources that succinctly overview the activities of the AOEA and the Outdoor Lab. AOEA membership newsletters contain calendars of events, letters from Board Members (usually the President of the AOEA), announcements of upcoming events, descriptions of APS students' recent experiences at the Outdoor Lab, and other information related to operation of the Outdoor Lab. The minutes from Board of Directors monthly meetings contain descriptions of various reports members gave at meetings, including finances, public relations and membership, development and fundraising, facilities and maintenance, and often a Lab Report, which details student activities at the lab, including other operational information. Meeting minutes from the late 1980s to present often include supporting documents members received and evaluated at the meeting, including agendas, budgets, maps and surveys, written reports, as well as correspondence related to the meeting (see Arrangement and Description section below for more information).\n","Series 1  (Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and Procedures Manuals) contains the governing documents for the AOEA.  Series 2  (Committees) houses documents and materials created by sub-committees of the AOEA Board of Directors, staff, and members, including facilities development, long-range planning, maintenance and development to aid in the operation of the Outdoor Lab. Many of these committees report to the entire board during Board of Directors Meetings (see  series 10 ).\n","Series 3  (Correspondence) contains correspondence related to the operation of the AOEA. However, the correspondence dated prior to 1967 relates directly to Phoebe Knipling's educational and professional career. Correspondence from the late 1960s includes Phoebe Knipling's correspondence with various organizations and individuals asking for support to buy property for an outdoor lab for Arlington Public Schools.\n","Series 4  contains documents and materials that pertain to educational programming and curriculum at the Outdoor Lab.  Series 5  (Facilities), subdivided into four subseries (Operation; Maintenance, Repairs, Inspections; Renovations and Construction; and \"Outdoor Lab Building\" Renovations 2006-2007) detail the upkeep and expansion of Outdoor Lab buildings.  Series 6  contains the financial records of the AOEA and is also divided into several subseries based on subject and item type, including Budget and Treasurer's Reports; Banking and Tax Information; Fundraising, Grants, and Donations. \n","Materials related to the history of the AOEA, including documents related to the lab's 20th and 50th anniversaries, as well as biographical materials for Dr. Knipling and other AOEA staff members, can be found in  Series 7  (History and Biography). Insurance policies can be found in  Series 8  (Insurance).  Series 9  holds membership and Board of Directors rosters, in addition to other documents related to volunteers and membership policies. Newspaper clippings can be located in  Series 12  (Newspaper articles). \n","Series 13 , originally named \"Office Files\" was renamed in 2017 \"Office and Staff Files.\" The original series only contained the files of board member Dorothy Knowlton, which included meeting minutes, personal notes, fundraising information, a Virginia forest stewardship plan and other materials related to the AOEA. Archivists moved additional staff files from  Series 20  (subject files) and those obtained in a third accretion donated in 2017 to this series.  Series 13  therefore serves as a space to preserve staff members' files that contain diverse materials that prevents them from fitting into a specific series, such as Facilities or Membership.\n","Deeds, leases, land appraisals and maps of AOEA land holdings are contained in  Series 15  (Property). Series 16 (publicity) holds various marketing materials, including AOEA brochures, fliers, open house information and materials used by AOEA staff to promote the Outdoor Lab, including speeches and presentations.\n","Series 17  (Reading Files), contains correspondence organized by date covering a variety of topics, including membership, property, and surveys. This series sheds light on the early activities of the Outdoor Lab and the AOEA during the late 1960s and early 1970s. \n","The collection also includes an extensive amount of visual materials, including photographs ( Series 14 ), scrapbooks ( Series 18 ), and slides ( Series 19 ). Photographs and scrapbooks often depict visitors to the Outdoor Lab, mostly students from APS, and events held at the Outdoor Lab. Other photos document construction work of various facilities on the property and plant and animal life visitors observed on their visit. Scrapbook 5 appears to have been put together by student photographers who visited the Outdoor Lab who documented their class's experience. Scrapbook 6 details the formation of the AOEA and depicts the 1978 Dedication Ceremony of the Outdoor Lab once the AOEA made its final mortgage payment. Most of the slides show students in the summer science enrichment program on field trips to various locations in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland with Dr. Phoebe Knipling. They also include early images of the APS science fair other teaching materials Knipling probably used. However, others do show the Outdoor Lab. \n","Series 20  (Subject files) contains miscellaneous materials, including studies and reports, lists, forms, and the like that did not fit well in any of the above series.  Series 21  contains materials related to the operation of the summer camp held at the Outdoor Lab.\n","There are several files in Series 5, Series 6, and Series 15 which contain confidential information such as Tax ID numbers, checking account numbers, and social security numbers. These numbers should be redacted before access to any patron not affiliated with the AOEA who normally has access to these identifiers. Folders containing such numbers and IDs are marked. \n","Within Series 6: Tax information, from subseries 2 from 2012, 2013, and 2015 will remain closed until 7 years after their creation. Therefore, tax information from 2012 will remain closed until 2019, from 2013 will remained closed until 2020, and from 2015 will remain closed until 2022. As of 2020, Tax information from 2012 and 2013 are open for research, yet remain in the restricted box.\n","Within Series 21: Summer Camp, are three files related to summer employment. These files include job applications with social security numbers.  These pages have been photocopied with the social security numbers covered.  All the information except the social security number is available on the copy.  The original document has been removed and placed in a restricted box that will remain closed until 2100.\n","Knipling, Dr. Phoebe Rebecca (Hall), 1909-1998","English\n"],"unitid_tesim":["RG 111\n"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Arlington Outdoor Education Association Records, \n1947-2017"],"collection_title_tesim":["Arlington Outdoor Education Association Records, \n1947-2017"],"collection_ssim":["Arlington Outdoor Education Association Records, \n1947-2017"],"repository_ssm":["Arlington Public Library"],"repository_ssim":["Arlington Public Library"],"creator_ssm":["Arlington Outdoor Education Association\n"],"creator_ssim":["Arlington Outdoor Education Association\n"],"acqinfo_ssim":["Anita K.
