She also received fellowships from the University of Virginia and American University.","After twenty-nine years of teaching at schools in Montgomery County, Maryland and in Rockingham County at Elkton and Turner Ashby high schools, Jones spent the reminder of her career as a freelance writer. Her writing extended across newspapers, journals, speeches, and published books. Some of her most notable writing was done for the local newspaper, the  Daily News-Record  in which she wrote a weekly column, \"Remembrances,\" for eleven years based on personal memories supported with historical fact. After completing her writing for the  DNR , she went on to contribute columns and articles to the Staunton-based paper  eightyone , and to JMU's  Montpelier  magazine. Jones also penned over a dozen books for various local businesses and organizations. Some notable titles include:  Rooted on Bluestone Hill: A History of James Madison University  (2004),  Called to Care: A History of the Nursing Program at Rockingham Memorial Hospital  (2004), and  Ageless Legacy: A History of Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community  (2004), all of which were nominated for the Library of Virginia's outstanding non-fiction award.

Carrier's office as the social events coordinator for Carrier and his wife, Edith. Soon she began writing Dr. Carrier's speeches and other documents as requested.In the early 1990s, Dr. Carrier commissioned her to write a book on the history of JMU that would appeal to a general audience. This book,  Rooted on Bluestone Hill , was published in 2004.","The initial accession of the Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers was processed by former Special Collections Librarian Chris Bolgiano in March 2005. The 2017 donation that comprises the bulk of the collection was combined with the original accession. The collection, as a whole, was donated in good condition and required minimal preservation work. The preservation work that was done included removing tape and rusty staples or paperclips from the papers. Loose papers have been interfiled with corresponding subject files.
