Records, 1929-1950 (Accession 25913)\n V. Historical Material, 1927-1950 (Accession 41571)\n","The Virginia State Commission of Conservation and Development was created in 1926 to consolidate and coordinate a number of conservation agencies including the Water Power and Development Commission, the State\nGeological Commission, the State Geological Survey, Office of the State Geologist, Office of the State Forester, and the Division of Parks. Governor Harry F. Byrd appointed his campaign manager William E. Carson\n(1870-1942) as the Commission's first chairman. Between 1926 and 1950 the Commission changed names several times: Virginia State Commission of Conservation and Development (1926-1938), Virginia Conservation\nCommission (1938-1948) and Department of Conservation and Development (1948-1985). Chairman of the Commission included: William E. Carson (1926-1935), Wilbur C. Hall (1935-1939), N. Clarence Smith (1939-1942), and\nWilliam A. Wright (1942-1948). In 1948, the General Assembly, as part of a reorganization of state government abolished the Virginia Conservation Commission and created the Department of Conservation and\nDevelopment. The new agency took over the function of the Conservation Commission, State Port Authority and the State Planning Board. Governor William Tuck named Wright as director of the new Department of\nConservation and Development.\n","In 1927, Carson created the Division of History and Archaeology within the Commission to preserve and develop the historical resources of the state. The new Division was lead by Dr. H.J. Eckenrode, Director;\nColonel Bryan Conrad, Assistant Director; and M.F. Pleasants, Field Assistant. Carson believed that Virginia needed to publicize Virginia's wealth of history and tradition especially to out-of-state travelers. He\ndecided to have markers placed on the states' highways to provide information of historical events that had happened in their vicinity. By the beginning of World War II, the Commission had erected more than 1400\nhistorical markers across Virginia.\n","In addition to the historical marker program, the Division of History assisted in the development of Virginia history in many other ways. It cooperated with the federal government in studying the battlefield of\nYorktown and in the development of the Richmond Battlefield Park. The Division photographed thousands of colonial era houses and other significant structures. The Division sponsored the Federal Writers' Project\nfor Virginia and conducted the WPA's Virginia Historical Inventory.\n","The Commission suspended the historical marker program during World War II because of rationing of metals. In its place, the Commission inaugurated a War records program including a newspaper reference file and\na correspondence program in which a non-salaried correspondent from each locality sent reports about local war time activities and local war activities and reaction to the war. In addition, the Division began a\nprogram to locate and mark the graves of distinguished Virginians. Finally in 1949, the Division published The Hornbook of Virginia History that included a brief history of Virginia and other historical\ninformation.\n","The Department of Conservation and Development, Division of History, Records are housed in 108 boxes, 3 oversize boxes, and 1 oversize map case drawer. The collection is arranged into five (5) series. Series\nhave been designated for: I. Correspondence; II. Virginia War History Project; III. Graves of Distinguished Virginians Project; IV. Records; and V. Historical Material. These records include addresses articles,\ncorrespondence, maps, magazines, minutes, newspapers, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, photographs, postcards, programs, radio addresses, reports scrapbooks and telegrams. These records document Virginia state\ngovernment's development and promotion of the Commonwealth's history and historical resources.\n","The creation and administration of Virginia's Historical Marker program is well documented in the records (Series I). This series provides a wealth of information on the Division's approach to markers, their\nconstruction, inscription, installation and maintenance. Of note to the Civil War Historian, this series also contains records on the creation of the Richmond Battlefield Park. Included are correspondence, maps,\npamphlets and aerial photographs taken of the battlefield in the 1930s.\n","For researchers interested in the life on the home front during World War II, there are some records of note. The Division of History collected reports on home front conditions. Topics include local opinion and\nreaction to war events and news, rosters of local service men and women, activities of local organizations, economic conditions and religious conditions (Series II).\n","The Division of History and Archaeology also attempted to locate graves of distinguished Virginians (Series III) and created a reference file on Virginia History and eventually published The Hornbook of\nVirginia History (Series IV). The Historical Material files is essentially a ready reference collection containing newspaper clippings and historical sketches on historic sites and events. (Series V).\n","Oversize items are filed in 3 boxes and 2 map case drawers. The oversize records consist primarily of maps and newspapers. Oversize items, which were part of the regular sized filing unit, were removed from\ntheir perspective folders. A separation notice listing the item(s) separated and their new location was put in its place. For location and content list of oversize folders, see the listing at the end of the\ncontainer list.\n","It is recommended that the researcher read the series level scope and content notes thoroughly before accessing the collection.\n","The Correspondence series is housed in 70 boxes with oversized material separated and is arranged into two subseries. Subseries have been designated for Correspondence and Correspondence, Dead File. It is\nunknown why some correspondence were separated from the general correspondence (Subseries A) and grouped with the correspondence, dead file (Subseries B), because there is some overlap between the subseries. The\nseries consists primarily of incoming and outgoing correspondence from Division of History staff members including: Dr. Hamilton J. Eckenrode, Director (1927-1949), J.R.V. Daniel, Director (1949-1950), Bryan\nConrad, Assistant Director and M.F. Pleasants, Field Assistant. This series comprises a large and important section of the Division of History records. In this series, researchers have a complete view, from 1927-\n1950, of most of the correspondence sent and received by the Division of History. These correspondence provide insight into the workings of the historical marker program including inscriptions, locations, and\nmanufacturing, instillation and maintenance of markers, and the Division's promotion of history and other activities.\n","This subseries is housed in 55 boxes, one oversize box and two oversize map folders and is arranged alphabetically with subdivisions for general correspondence, additional correspondence and topics. This is the\nlarger of the two subseries and contains a variety of letters from individuals across the county interested in Virginia history and the historical marker program. Topics include historical inquiries, historical\nmarker inscriptions, investigation of the historical marker program by other states, and the Richmond Battlefield Park. Other topics include work of the Division during World War II, Shenandoah National Park,\nbirthplace of the Wright Brothers mother, and biographical information on Dr. Hamilton J. Eckenrode and Bryan Conrad.\n"," The History Division responded to general historical questions concerning Virginia history from historians, history buffs and students from every part of the country. Virginia's historical marker program was a\nmodel for other states and there are inquiries about the program from individuals from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and West\nVirginia. Many of these letters provide detailed information about the marker system (Eckenrode to Douglas Arant, 31 August 1938) and a summary of how to install markers (Pleasants to Arthur Adams, 24 April 1931).\n"," This subseries is a great source of information on the creation of the\n Richmond Battlefield Park\n . Included is a booklet by Eckenrode titled \"History of the Richmond Battlefield Parks\" dated 23 February 1932, aerial photographs of the park taken in the early 1930s by the United States Army Air Corps as\nwell as correspondence, memorandums and reports on the creation of the park.

Eckenrode, began a war records collection program. Unable to continue the\nDivision of History's historical marker program because of wartime rationing, Eckenrode sought to \"record the history of the Old Dominion's war effort while the history is still fresh in the making, rather than\nwait until after the war when the events and details would be more obscured.\" The Conservation Commission began a correspondence program in which a non-salaried correspondent from each locality sent reports about\nlocal war activities and local effects and reaction to the war. The local correspondents also assisted the Virginia World War II History Commission with its' questionnaire, \"Personal War Service Record of\nVirginia's Ward Dead\" completed by the next of kin of Virginia's deceased servicemen.\n","Most of the information in this series contains correspondence reports on local wartime conditions in Virginia from local correspondents mainly during 1943 with a few from 1944 and 1945.

He was the grandson of the late state Senator Thomas J. Downing of Lancaster County (see also Accession Nos. 22035 and 22037, the Downing Family Letters).","Downing was born in Newport News on 1 February 1919. He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N. Downing died on 23 October 2001 of complications from intestinal surgery, and is buried in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News.","The first box of the Downing Papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District congressional seat. Schuyler Otis Bland of Gloucester County (1872-1950) served in Congress from 1918 until his death in February 1950. His seat was filled by Edward John Robeson, Jr., who was born in Haywood County, North Carolina (1890), spent his childhood in Georgia, and settled as an adult in Newport News. Robeson served in the 81st through the 85th congresses; he was then defeated for renomination by Thomas Downing. He died in 1966 and is buried in North Carolina.","Papers, 1947-1977, of Thomas N. Downing (1919-2001) consist of correspondence, political files, speeches, and related documents; they are the public records related to his 18-year tenure as a congressman representing Virginia's First District in the United States House of Representatives. The records include manuscripts, typescripts, xerox, and other reproductions, newsprint, photographs, printed forms (blank and filled in), published items, and other media.

He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N. Downing died on 23 October 2001 of complications from intestinal surgery, and is buried in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News.","The first box of the Downing Papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District congressional seat. Schuyler Otis Bland of Gloucester County (1872-1950) served in Congress from 1918 until his death in February 1950. His seat was filled by Edward John Robeson, Jr., who was born in Haywood County, North Carolina (1890), spent his childhood in Georgia, and settled as an adult in Newport News. Robeson served in the 81st through the 85th congresses; he was then defeated for renomination by Thomas Downing. He died in 1966 and is buried in North Carolina."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThomas N. Downing Papers, 1947-1977.

Trinkle attended Hampden-Sydney College and studied law at the University of Virginia. He returned to Wytheville in 1898 to practice law. He entered politics as Wythe County Democratic Chairman and was elected to the Virginia State Senate in 1915. Trinkle ran for governor in 1921 and easily defeated former congressman St. George Tucker in the Democratic primary and Republican Henry Watkins Anderson in the general election. He served as governor of Virginia from 1922 until 1926. After his governorship, Trinkle accepted a position as Vice-President of the Shenandoah Life Insurance of Roanoke. In 1930 Governor John Pollard appointed Trinkle chairman of the State Board of Education, a post he held until his death from a heart attack on 25 November 1939.\n","Governor E. Lee Trinkle Executive Papers, 1919-1929 (bulk 1922-1926), are organized into two series. Series have been designated for I. Subject Files; and II. Extraditions, Pardons, and Prison Affairs. These papers mainly consist of incoming and outgoing correspondence during E. Lee Trinkle's four-year term as governor between 1 February 1922 and 1 February 1926. The largest and most significant series is the Subject Files Series. This series provides an in-depth look into the major concerns confronting Trinkle as governor. The Extraditions, Pardons, and Prison Affairs Series includes applications, correspondence, extraditions, pardons and requisitions.\n","\nThe Subject files series, 1919-1929 (bulk 1922-1926) is housed in seventy-eight archival boxes and is arranged alphabetically by subject. This series documents correspondence received and sent by Governor Trinkle during his four-year term as governor of Virginia. In addition to correspondence, there are reports, proclamations, telegrams, orders, resolutions, acts, publications, news clippings, invitations, proceedings, financial statements, invoices, and other sundry items. Topics include Agriculture, Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, Budget appropriations, State Board of Censors, Coal conferences and contracts, Confederate reunions, Deaf and Blind school in Staunton, Education, Gasoline tax, General Assembly sessions, Highways, State Hospitals, Illiteracy Conferences, Judgeships, Monticello Association, Mount Vernon Board of Visitors, National Guard, National Prison Conference, expansion of the Virginia State Office Building, Penitentiary, Southern Exposition, State Board of Education, State Corporation Commission, Virginia Industrial schools, Virginia Military Institute, War Memorial Commission, and Yorktown General Committee, among others. ","Included are lists of censored film as well as censorship rules and regulations; coal and railroad strikes; information on the trial of Robert and Larkin Garrett charged with murdering Baptist preacher E.S. Pierce; redecorating of the Governor's Mansion; racial issues at Hampton Institute; request to President Harding for Virginia Highway Department to purchase the U.S. South Richmond Air Depot; and correspondence from Penitentiary inmates including a copy of \"The Beacon,\" an inmate newspaper, and a Special Furniture Bulletin displaying furniture made by inmates. Also included are various proclamations made by the Governor for Armistice day, Mothers day, Thanksgiving, American Education Week, Fire Prevention Week, and Arbor Day, among others. Included are programs from various events the Governor attended; staff appointments and applications for jobs at the Governor's office; and numerous invitations to events. ","Included is information on the carving at Stone Mountain, Georgia, including suggestions as to what Confederate generals to put on the monument, brochures, fund raising, Gutzon Borglum's removal, and Trinkle's address at the memorial. Included are State Institutions Special Reports, which contain a variety of information, from the number of veterans at the R.E. Lee Camp Soldiers Home, to the number of students at the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls, and information on fisheries and the oyster beds in Virginia. The Rewards folders includes information regarding threats by the KKK and a kidnapping case. Also included are appointments to various boards such as the Censorship Board, State Board of Dairy and Food Commissioners, Commissioner of Fisheries, Forest warden, Highway Commissioners, Industrial Commission, Judges, Labor Commissioner, National Rivers and Harbor Congress, Notaries Public, State Board of Optometry, State Geologist, Superintendents of Public Schools, State Veterinarian, Virginia War History Commission, and West Point appointments.","Of note, are the papers relating to Highways and the United States Good Road Association. Trinkle wanted to reorganize and fund the state highway system through issuing bonds. Trinkle's bond plan was obstructed by Harry Byrd and other Democratic leaders who preferred raising taxes on gasoline to fund the project. A special session of the General Assembly was called in February 1923 and the competing plans were debated, with the gas tax plan winning out in the end and effectively ended Trinkle's political career.","This series was maintained in its original order and is not completely chronological. At some point the pins holding together the incoming and outgoing letters were removed and the archivist did not rearrange the folder items for fear of loosing the relationships between the incoming and outgoing letters.","","The Extraditions, Pardons, and Prison Affairs series, 1922-1926, is housed in twenty-three archival boxes and is arranged into three subseries. Subseries have been designated for: A. Extraditions, B. Pardons, and C. Prison Affairs.","Included are arrest warrants, correspondence, court orders, extradition requisitions, pardon applications, petitions, prison records, telegrams, and newspaper clippings. Subseries A: Extraditions, is arranged alphabetically by last name and includes correspondence, telegrams, and extradition requisitions to and from Virginia. Subseries B: Pardons is arranged alphabetically by last name and includes letters from family members asking for pardons of relatives; letters from prisoners asking for pardons; letters from politicians on behalf of prisoners; and petitions asking for pardons of prisoners. The records include the name of prisoner, date committed, age, occupation, court, crime, and term information. Unlike his predecessor, Governor Westmoreland Davis, Governor Trinkle was a firm believer in Prohibition, campaigned promising to uphold prohibition laws, and consistently denied pardons for any alcohol related crimes. Also included are requests for the removal of political disabilities, requests to have driving rights restored, and regain forfeited automobiles.","Subseries C: Prison Affairs includes correspondence from citizens asking the Governor to waive local fines imposed and from prisoners regarding their cases. Also included is correspondence relating to the State Board of Charities, Corrections, and Probations, and the State Board of Public Welfare, both mostly relating to the welfare of children and children that were placed in Industrial Schools and reform schools. ","These two boxes include materials separated from Series I and II due to their size. Removal notices were placed in the folders from which the items were originally located and should lead researchers to the correct oversize folder and box locations.","There are no restrictions.\n","English\n"],"unitid_tesim":["21567b\n"],"normalized_title_ssm":["A Guide to the Executive Papers of Governor E.

Gillette established a regional style -known as the \"Virginia Garden\"- characterized by its understated classicism and attention to detail.  He linked architecture and landscape by emphasizing the traditional features of landscape design but also carefully sheaping each of his creative outdoor environments to compliment the most distinctive elements of his clients' homes and broader surroundings.","Gillette received no formal training in landscape design.   However, his father was a locally known herbalist and farmer.  With young Charles' help, he treated neighbors' illnesses using his knowledge of plant materials.  With this firm foundation in the curative powers of plant material, Gillette went on to work at the Wisconsin Home for the Feeble-Minded.  There, he recognized the soothing effect of plants and greenery on the mentally disturbed during their walks on the hospital grounds.  Gradually, Charles Gillette's desire to study gardening, plants, flowers, and trees became clear.  At the turn-of-the-20th-century, however, few educational institutions offered formal programs of study in landsape architecture.  Instead, Gillette became an apprentice in the Boston office of Warren Manning (1860-1938), a leading landscape architect.","Gillette married Ellen Cogswell in 1912 and by 1913 arrived in Richmond as Manning's representative to supervise the completion of the design for the Richmond College (now the University of Richmond).  Sometime around 1919, Gillette established his own practice in Richmond and remained there to pursue a career in landscape design that spanned over 50 years. During the height of the \"Country Place\" era, Gillette worked for wealthy clients in central Virginia.  In addition to the gardens at the Nelson House in Yorktown (1915) and Kenmore in Fredericksburg (1924), Gillette designed plans for Virginia House and Agecroft Hall in Richmond's Windsor Farms neighborhood; he oversaw the restoration of the Executive Mansion gardens in the 1950s; and he planned the grounds for the Richmond headquarters of Reynolds Metals and Ethyl Corporation.  Gillette also undertook projects in North Carolina and St. Louis, Missouri. ","Charles Gillette died 30 March 1969 following a stroke, less than three years after the death of his beloved Ellen.  He is interred next to her in a cemetery near New Preston, Connecticut.   \n","The Charles F. Gillette Papers are housed in 117 archival boxes on shelf, tubes, map case drawers, and 3 custom oversize boxes. The collection is arranged into nine (9) series. Series have been designated for: I. Administrative Records; II. Client Correspondence; III. Drawings; IV. Housing Projects; V. Maps; VI. Personal Papers; VII. Photograph Files; VIII. St. Giles Church Files; IX. Vendors and Sub-Contractors. These records include correspondence, invoices, clippings, contracts, specifications, photographs, architectural drawings, surveys, landscape drawings, card indices, catalogs, promotional materials, family histories, and tax returns. This collection spans nearly the entire career of arguably one of the most influential landscape architects in the Commonwealth. \n","Not all of Gillette's business materials survive as many were purged to make room in the office or for other reasons. Accordingly, in some instances the collection holds both drawings and correspondence for a particular project; in other instances, only drawings or correspondence exists; and in other cases, no materials survive for a project. A numbering system was superimposed by the institution in order to deal with inconsistencies in record-keeping practices in Gillette's office. The Client Control Number (CCN) is a unique number to each of Gillette's clients and is similar to Gillette's account numbering system. However, Gillette's system sometimes reused numbers or did not assign numbers to certain clients, hence the need for a uniform system. The CCN is used throughout several series within the collection, but is most associated with the Drawings series (SERIES III). Series III is arranged and accessed by CCN. \n","A client may have more than one CCN if two or more projects were undertaken with a significant time lapse in between and/or if Gillette's office assigned more than one account number. While the bulk of the records were donated in 1993 by the University of Virginia, additional donations have been made and continue to be made as records are discovered by private individuals. Accordingly, each addition is separately accessioned and listed as a distinct entity. While these records are treated distinctly for administrative purposes, they are inter inter-filed with the collection and arranged in the appropriate series and folder. \n","SERIES I: ADMINISTRATIVE FILES, 1942-1968\n","The Administrative files are housed in three (3) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title with general materials arranged to the rear. The series consists of correspondence with professional organizations, such as the Society of Landscape Architects, professional license registration information, client lists, applications for employment, and tax returns. \n","SERIES II: CLIENT CORRESPONDENCE AND CARD FILE, 1921-1968 \n","The Client Correspondence files are housed in 80 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by client name. Miscellaneous materials are arranged alphabetically by addressee or sender and inter-filed alphabetically within the series in \"General\" files (Example: \"A General, 1942-1965\"). The series includes correspondence, invoices, photographs, sketches, and plant lists. Correspondence files do not survive for all of Gillette's clients. Likewise, not all correspondence files have corresponding drawings and vice versa. Along with the Drawings (SERIES III), the Client Correspondence files make up the bulk of the Charles F. Gillette Papers. These records mostly contain written correspondence between Gillette's office and the clients. The file can be useful in documenting the development of individual garden plans, as well as an illustration of the architect/client relationship during a particular project. A significant portion of the original letters and other materials were typed or written on acidic paper. Accordingly, the processing archivist made preservation photocopies of these materials. The card file contained in this series was maintained in Gillette's office. In some instances, files and drawings were purged, and the card file may be the only indication of Gillette's involvement in a specific project.\n","In addition to the container listing found in this finding aid, the research can also search for client correspondence on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  While this searchable database was primarily created for the extensive list of Gillette's project drawings, it does include complete information on the client correspondence files.  The card files are not included in this database.   Researchers interested in finding correspondence can search under Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. As previously stated, correspondence does not survive for all projects. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","SERIES III: DRAWINGS, 1902-1968 ","\nThe Drawings are housed in 531 archival drawings tubes and arranged by Client Control Number (CCN), an institutionally imposed numbering system. The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper. It is imperative that these remain segregated when returned to the roll. \n","Due to the size of this series, a container listing has not been included in this finding aid . Instead, a searchable database has been created to aid the researcher in using this collection.  The database's web-interface can be found on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  The database can be searched by Drawing Description, Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The Drawing Description field is searchable by keywords in the title of the drawing. Typically, this will include a description of the drawing (e.g. \"Planting Plan\") and the client's name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. If correspondence exists for a particular project, the results will also return a reference to those materials. Correspondence does not survive for all projects. Likewise, drawings do not survive for each project and in some cases only correspondence results are returned. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","SERIES IV: HOUSING PROJECTS, 1924-1960 (bulk 1939-1955) ","\nThe Housing Projects records are housed in 10 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, manuals, specifications, and federal government bulletins relative to Gillette's work on public housing projects. These materials were treated as a separate series and are therefore not included in Series II: Client Correspondence. However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n","SERIES V: MAPS, 1883-1961 ","\nThe Maps are housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city). The series consists mainly of subdivision plans, park layouts, and perspective drawings for various projects across the United States. Heavily represented is the work of the Olmstead Brothers firm of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia. These materials seem to be unrelated to any of Gillette's known projects.  \n","SERIES VI: PERSONAL PAPERS, 1865-1985 (bulk 1912-1968) ","\nThe Personal Papers are house in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, family histories, journals, clippings, internment records, and writings. The majority of this series consists of the personal correspondence of Charles F. Gillette. Also included are personal letters from his wife, Mrs. Ellen C. Gillette, as well as materials related to Filmore Cogswell, Mrs. Gillette's father. A Gillette family history, materials related to Mr. and Mrs. Gillette's 50th anniversary celebration, and will and estate information are also in this series. Memorial reminiscences of Gillette's life and career and an article by Dr. George Longest are also organized in this series. \n","SERIES VII: PHOTOGRAPH FILES, ca. 1880-1969 (bulk 1920-1960) ","\nThe Photograph Files are housed in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. This series consists of a mix of personal and business-related photographs. Several folders contain images of Charles and Ellen Gillette in their youth and young adulthood. Also of note are images of the Cogswell family on camping trips in Colorado and Connecticut circa 1880s. Items such as Christmas cards, brochures for ornamental statuary, and clipping are in this series also. Not all photographs have been separated into this series. In some cases, photographs and negatives have remained with the client correspondence files (SERIES II).  All of the photographs in this series have been digitized and are available on the Library of Virgina website on the  Photographic Collections page.","SERIES VIII: ST. GILES CHURCH, 1937-1967","\nThe St. Giles Church files are housed in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included in this series are sermons, correspondence, deeds, plats, meeting minutes, membership rolls, church committee papers, and financial materials. This series deals with Gillette's work in the establishment, construction, and administration of St. Giles (Presbyterian) Church in Richmond, Virginia. Gillette was a crucial member in the creation of the church after a dogmatic schism within the congregation of Richmond Grace Covenant Church. As one of the original St. Giles elders, a member of the construction committee, and a Sunday School teacher, Gillette contributed inestimable value to the church congregation. Also included in this series are materials related to Dr. John Blanton Belk, the controversial preacher and missionary whose sermons precipitated the split within Grace Covenant Church. \n","SERIES IX: VENDORS AND SUB-CONTRACTORS, 1915-1968 (bulk 1936-1966) ","\nThe Vendors and Sub-contractors files are housed in seven (7) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are catalogs, promotional literature, and company information from firms with which Gillette did business or that were soliciting projects from the landscape architect. Individual firms are listed separately by name with general materials grouped alphabetically within the folder listing. \n","Series I is housed in three (3) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title with general materials arranged to the rear. The series consists of correspondence with professional organizations, such as the Society of Landscape Architects, professional license registration information, client lists, applications for employment, and tax returns. \n","Series II is housed in 80 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by client name. Miscellaneous materials are arranged alphabetically by addressee or sender and inter-filed alphabetically within the series in \"General\" files (Example: \"A General, 1942-1965\"). The series includes correspondence, invoices, photographs, sketches, and plant lists. Correspondence files do not survive for all of Gillette's clients. Likewise, not all correspondence files have corresponding drawings and vice versa. Along with the Drawings (SERIES III), the Client Correspondence files make up the bulk of the Charles F. Gillette Papers. These records mostly contain written correspondence between Gillette's office and the clients. The file can be useful in documenting the development of individual garden plans, as well as an illustration of the architect/client relationship during a particular project. A significant portion of the original letters and other materials were typed or written on acidic paper. Accordingly, the processing archivist made preservation photocopies of these materials. The card file contained in this series was maintained in Gillette's office. In some instances, files and drawings were purged, and the card file may be the only indication of Gillette's involvement in a specific project.\n","In addition to the container listing found in this finding aid, the research can also search for client correspondence on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  While this searchable database was primarily created for the extensive list of Gillette's project drawings, it does include complete information on the client correspondence files.  The card files are not included in this database.  Researchers interested in finding correspondence can search under Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. As previously stated, correspondence does not survive for all projects. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results."," Gillette account number: None\n"," Gillette account number: None\n"," Gillette account

Client Control Number (CCN), an institutionally imposed numbering system. The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper. It is imperative that these remain segregated when returned to the roll. \n","Due to the size of this series, a container listing has not been included in this finding aid .  Instead, a searchable database has been created to aid the researcher in using this collection.  The database's web-interface can be found on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  The database can be searched by Drawing Description, Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The Drawing Description field is searchable by keywords in the title of the drawing. Typically, this will include a description of the drawing (e.g. \"Planting Plan\") and the client's name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. If correspondence exists for a particular project, the results will also return a reference to those materials. Correspondence does not survive for all projects. Likewise, drawings do not survive for each project and in some cases only correspondence results are returned. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","Series IV is housed in 10 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, manuals, specifications, and federal government bulletins relative to Gillette's work on public housing projects. These materials were treated as a separate series and are therefore not included in Series II: Client Correspondence. However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n","Series V is housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city). The series consists mainly of subdivision plans, park layouts, and perspective drawings for various projects across the United States. Heavily represented is the work of the Olmstead Brothers firm of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia. These materials seem to be unrelated to any of Gillette's known projects.  \n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 37 x 61 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 45 x 40 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers - Landscape Architects, Brookline, Massachusetts; Size: 37 x 70 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 43 x 57 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 21 x 46 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 71 x 107 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 28 x 43 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Surveyed at the Request of F.L.

Gillette was a crucial member in the creation of the church after a dogmatic schism within the congregation of Richmond Grace Covenant Church. As one of the original St. Giles elders, a member of the construction committee, and a Sunday School teacher, Gillette contributed inestimable value to the church congregation. Also included in this series are materials related to Dr. John Blanton Belk, the controversial preacher and missionary whose sermons precipitated the split within Grace Covenant Church. \n","Series IX is housed in seven (7) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title.

These records include correspondence, invoices, clippings, contracts, specifications, photographs, architectural drawings, surveys, landscape drawings, card indices, catalogs, promotional materials, family histories, and tax returns.

Accordingly, in some instances the collection holds both drawings and correspondence for a particular project; in other instances, only drawings or correspondence exists; and in other cases, no materials survive for a project. A numbering system was superimposed by the institution in order to deal with inconsistencies in record-keeping practices in Gillette's office. The Client Control Number (CCN) is a unique number to each of Gillette's clients and is similar to Gillette's account numbering system. However, Gillette's system sometimes reused numbers or did not assign numbers to certain clients, hence the need for a uniform system. The CCN is used throughout several series within the collection, but is most associated with the Drawings series (SERIES III).

The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper.

However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSERIES V: MAPS, 1883-1961 \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\nThe Maps are housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city).

It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia.

As one of the original St. Giles elders, a member of the construction committee, and a Sunday School teacher, Gillette contributed inestimable value to the church congregation.

The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper. It is imperative that these remain segregated when returned to the roll. \n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eDue to the size of this series, a container listing has not been included in this finding aid\u003c/emph\u003e.  Instead, a searchable database has been created to aid the researcher in using this collection.  The database's web-interface can be found on the \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.lva.virginia.gov/findaid/gillette/\"\u003eGillette Drawings and Correspondence Database\u003c/extref\u003e.  The database can be searched by Drawing Description, Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The Drawing Description field is searchable by keywords in the title of the drawing. Typically, this will include a description of the drawing (e.g. \"Planting Plan\") and the client's name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. If correspondence exists for a particular project, the results will also return a reference to those materials. Correspondence does not survive for all projects. Likewise, drawings do not survive for each project and in some cases only correspondence results are returned. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries IV is housed in 10 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, manuals, specifications, and federal government bulletins relative to Gillette's work on public housing projects. These materials were treated as a separate series and are therefore not included in Series II: Client Correspondence. However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries V is housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city). The series consists mainly of subdivision plans, park layouts, and perspective drawings for various projects across the United States. Heavily represented is the work of the Olmstead Brothers firm of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia. These materials seem to be unrelated to any of Gillette's known projects.  \n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 37 x 61 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 45 x 40 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers - Landscape Architects, Brookline, Massachusetts; Size: 37 x 70 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 43 x 57 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 21 x 46 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 71 x 107 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 28 x 43 cm.\n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e Drawn by: Surveyed at the Request of F.L.

Included in this series are sermons, correspondence, deeds, plats, meeting minutes, membership rolls, church committee papers, and financial materials. This series deals with Gillette's work in the establishment, construction, and administration of St. Giles (Presbyterian) Church in Richmond, Virginia. Gillette was a crucial member in the creation of the church after a dogmatic schism within the congregation of Richmond Grace Covenant Church. As one of the original St. Giles elders, a member of the construction committee, and a Sunday School teacher, Gillette contributed inestimable value to the church congregation. Also included in this series are materials related to Dr. John Blanton Belk, the controversial preacher and missionary whose sermons precipitated the split within Grace Covenant Church. \n\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries IX is housed in seven (7) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title.

Gillette Papers are housed in 117 archival boxes on shelf, tubes, map case drawers, and 3 custom oversize boxes. The collection is arranged into nine (9) series. Series have been designated for: I. Administrative Records; II. Client Correspondence; III. Drawings; IV. Housing Projects; V. Maps; VI. Personal Papers; VII. Photograph Files; VIII. St. Giles Church Files; IX. Vendors and Sub-Contractors. These records include correspondence, invoices, clippings, contracts, specifications, photographs, architectural drawings, surveys, landscape drawings, card indices, catalogs, promotional materials, family histories, and tax returns. This collection spans nearly the entire career of arguably one of the most influential landscape architects in the Commonwealth. \n","Not all of Gillette's business materials survive as many were purged to make room in the office or for other reasons. Accordingly, in some instances the collection holds both drawings and correspondence for a particular project; in other instances, only drawings or correspondence exists; and in other cases, no materials survive for a project. A numbering system was superimposed by the institution in order to deal with inconsistencies in record-keeping practices in Gillette's office. The Client Control Number (CCN) is a unique number to each of Gillette's clients and is similar to Gillette's account numbering system. However, Gillette's system sometimes reused numbers or did not assign numbers to certain clients, hence the need for a uniform system. The CCN is used throughout several series within the collection, but is most associated with the Drawings series (SERIES III). Series III is arranged and accessed by CCN. \n","A client may have more than one CCN if two or more projects were undertaken with a significant time lapse in between and/or if Gillette's office assigned more than one account number. While the bulk of the records were donated in 1993 by the University of Virginia, additional donations have been made and continue to be made as records are discovered by private individuals. Accordingly, each addition is separately accessioned and listed as a distinct entity. While these records are treated distinctly for administrative purposes, they are inter inter-filed with the collection and arranged in the appropriate series and folder. \n","SERIES I: ADMINISTRATIVE FILES, 1942-1968\n","The Administrative files are housed in three (3) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title with general materials arranged to the rear. The series consists of correspondence with professional organizations, such as the Society of Landscape Architects, professional license registration information, client lists, applications for employment, and tax returns. \n","SERIES II: CLIENT CORRESPONDENCE AND CARD FILE, 1921-1968 \n","The Client Correspondence files are housed in 80 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by client name. Miscellaneous materials are arranged alphabetically by addressee or sender and inter-filed alphabetically within the series in \"General\" files (Example: \"A General, 1942-1965\"). The series includes correspondence, invoices, photographs, sketches, and plant lists. Correspondence files do not survive for all of Gillette's clients. Likewise, not all correspondence files have corresponding drawings and vice versa. Along with the Drawings (SERIES III), the Client Correspondence files make up the bulk of the Charles F. Gillette Papers. These records mostly contain written correspondence between Gillette's office and the clients. The file can be useful in documenting the development of individual garden plans, as well as an illustration of the architect/client relationship during a particular project. A significant portion of the original letters and other materials were typed or written on acidic paper. Accordingly, the processing archivist made preservation photocopies of these materials. The card file contained in this series was maintained in Gillette's office. In some instances, files and drawings were purged, and the card file may be the only indication of Gillette's involvement in a specific project.\n","In addition to the container listing found in this finding aid, the research can also search for client correspondence on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  While this searchable database was primarily created for the extensive list of Gillette's project drawings, it does include complete information on the client correspondence files.  The card files are not included in this database.   Researchers interested in finding correspondence can search under Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. As previously stated, correspondence does not survive for all projects. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","SERIES III: DRAWINGS, 1902-1968 ","\nThe Drawings are housed in 531 archival drawings tubes and arranged by Client Control Number (CCN), an institutionally imposed numbering system. The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper. It is imperative that these remain segregated when returned to the roll. \n","Due to the size of this series, a container listing has not been included in this finding aid . Instead, a searchable database has been created to aid the researcher in using this collection.  The database's web-interface can be found on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  The database can be searched by Drawing Description, Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The Drawing Description field is searchable by keywords in the title of the drawing. Typically, this will include a description of the drawing (e.g. \"Planting Plan\") and the client's name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. If correspondence exists for a particular project, the results will also return a reference to those materials. Correspondence does not survive for all projects. Likewise, drawings do not survive for each project and in some cases only correspondence results are returned. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","SERIES IV: HOUSING PROJECTS, 1924-1960 (bulk 1939-1955) ","\nThe Housing Projects records are housed in 10 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, manuals, specifications, and federal government bulletins relative to Gillette's work on public housing projects. These materials were treated as a separate series and are therefore not included in Series II: Client Correspondence. However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n","SERIES V: MAPS, 1883-1961 ","\nThe Maps are housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city). The series consists mainly of subdivision plans, park layouts, and perspective drawings for various projects across the United States. Heavily represented is the work of the Olmstead Brothers firm of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia. These materials seem to be unrelated to any of Gillette's known projects.  \n","SERIES VI: PERSONAL PAPERS, 1865-1985 (bulk 1912-1968) ","\nThe Personal Papers are house in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, family histories, journals, clippings, internment records, and writings. The majority of this series consists of the personal correspondence of Charles F. Gillette. Also included are personal letters from his wife, Mrs. Ellen C. Gillette, as well as materials related to Filmore Cogswell, Mrs. Gillette's father. A Gillette family history, materials related to Mr. and Mrs. Gillette's 50th anniversary celebration, and will and estate information are also in this series. Memorial reminiscences of Gillette's life and career and an article by Dr. George Longest are also organized in this series. \n","SERIES VII: PHOTOGRAPH FILES, ca. 1880-1969 (bulk 1920-1960) ","\nThe Photograph Files are housed in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. This series consists of a mix of personal and business-related photographs. Several folders contain images of Charles and Ellen Gillette in their youth and young adulthood. Also of note are images of the Cogswell family on camping trips in Colorado and Connecticut circa 1880s. Items such as Christmas cards, brochures for ornamental statuary, and clipping are in this series also. Not all photographs have been separated into this series. In some cases, photographs and negatives have remained with the client correspondence files (SERIES II).  All of the photographs in this series have been digitized and are available on the Library of Virgina website on the  Photographic Collections page.","SERIES VIII: ST. GILES CHURCH, 1937-1967","\nThe St. Giles Church files are housed in five (5) archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title.

Client Control Number (CCN), an institutionally imposed numbering system. The series includes sketches, perspective drawings, renderings, plot plans, surveys, plans, architectural blueprints, and planting lists. The majority of the drawings were produced in Gillette's office by his draftsmen. Some projects include architectural drawings for structures, mostly residences, associated with a particular project. Gillette worked closely with several architects, most notably William Lawrence Bottomley. The drawings in this series are executed on bumwad, heavy paper, linen, and the like. Copies may be found in blueprint, Diazo print, inkjet or electrostatic print. Many of the drawings are colored with colored pencil and ink giving them an artistic quality. A project may be housed on several tubes, or several projects may be housed on one tube, depending on the volume of materials. Additionally, various types of architectural drawings and reproductions can chemically interact with one another. To avoid potential loss of information or damage to the drawings, certain of these drawing types have been separated on the rolls by sheets of buffer paper. It is imperative that these remain segregated when returned to the roll. \n","Due to the size of this series, a container listing has not been included in this finding aid .  Instead, a searchable database has been created to aid the researcher in using this collection.  The database's web-interface can be found on the  Gillette Drawings and Correspondence Database .  The database can be searched by Drawing Description, Gillette Account Number, Client Control Number, and Client Name. The Drawing Description field is searchable by keywords in the title of the drawing. Typically, this will include a description of the drawing (e.g. \"Planting Plan\") and the client's name. The page also includes a drop-down list of clients organized alphabetically by the last name of the client or the business name. General searches, such as a Client Name search of \"Jones,\" returns a list of results containing links that will take the researcher to the full listing for that client name or client control number. If correspondence exists for a particular project, the results will also return a reference to those materials. Correspondence does not survive for all projects. Likewise, drawings do not survive for each project and in some cases only correspondence results are returned. It is important to note that not all of Gillette's materials survive and a search may yield no results.","Series IV is housed in 10 archival boxes on shelf and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included are correspondence, manuals, specifications, and federal government bulletins relative to Gillette's work on public housing projects. These materials were treated as a separate series and are therefore not included in Series II: Client Correspondence. However, drawings for these projects, if they exist, have been organized in Series III: Drawings. Before and following World War II, Gillette did extensive work on public housing projects as many of his wealthier clients scaled down or eliminated their plans for large landscape projects. Reflected in this series are projects from Virginia (Richmond, Newport News, Portsmouth, Hopewell, Bristol, Lynchburg, Camp Pendleton, and Fort Story); North Carolina (Rocky Mount); and New Jersey (Asbury Park and Long Branch).\n","Series V is housed in one (1) map case drawer and arranged alphabetically by locality (town/city). The series consists mainly of subdivision plans, park layouts, and perspective drawings for various projects across the United States. Heavily represented is the work of the Olmstead Brothers firm of Brookline, Massachusetts. It is unclear whether Gillette participated in any of these projects during his time in Boston or whether these were simply reference materials that he maintained in his office. Three (3) drawings are signed as being traced by Gillette and date from the time period that he began to strike out on his own in Richmond, Virginia. These materials seem to be unrelated to any of Gillette's known projects.  \n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 37 x 61 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 45 x 40 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers - Landscape Architects, Brookline, Massachusetts; Size: 37 x 70 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 43 x 57 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, Brookline, Mass.; Size: 21 x 46 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 71 x 107 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Olmsted Brothers, Directors of Design; Size: 28 x 43 cm.\n"," Drawn by: Surveyed at the Request of F.L.

He was the grandson of the late state Senator Thomas J. Downing of Lancaster County (see also Accession Nos. 22035 and 22037, the Downing Family Letters).","Downing was born in Newport News on 1 February 1919. He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N. Downing died on 23 October 2001 of complications from intestinal surgery, and is buried in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News.","The first box of the Downing Papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District congressional seat. Schuyler Otis Bland of Gloucester County (1872-1950) served in Congress from 1918 until his death in February 1950. His seat was filled by Edward John Robeson, Jr., who was born in Haywood County, North Carolina (1890), spent his childhood in Georgia, and settled as an adult in Newport News. Robeson served in the 81st through the 85th congresses; he was then defeated for renomination by Thomas Downing. He died in 1966 and is buried in North Carolina.","Papers, 1947-1977, of Thomas N. Downing (1919-2001) consist of correspondence, political files, speeches, and related documents; they are the public records related to his 18-year tenure as a congressman representing Virginia's First District in the United States House of Representatives. The records include manuscripts, typescripts, xerox, and other reproductions, newsprint, photographs, printed forms (blank and filled in), published items, and other media. The first box of papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District seat, Schuyler Otis Bland (1872-1950) and Edward John Robeson, Jr. (1890-1966).","Note: The Military Academy Files contain complete applications, including scholastic records, medical records, etc.; these records cannot be served.

He was the grandson of the late state Senator Thomas J. Downing of Lancaster County (see also Accession Nos. 22035 and 22037, the Downing Family Letters).","Downing was born in Newport News on 1 February 1919. He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N. Downing died on 23 October 2001 of complications from intestinal surgery, and is buried in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News.","The first box of the Downing Papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District congressional seat. Schuyler Otis Bland of Gloucester County (1872-1950) served in Congress from 1918 until his death in February 1950. His seat was filled by Edward John Robeson, Jr., who was born in Haywood County, North Carolina (1890), spent his childhood in Georgia, and settled as an adult in Newport News. Robeson served in the 81st through the 85th congresses; he was then defeated for renomination by Thomas Downing. He died in 1966 and is buried in North Carolina.","Papers, 1947-1977, of Thomas N. Downing (1919-2001) consist of correspondence, political files, speeches, and related documents; they are the public records related to his 18-year tenure as a congressman representing Virginia's First District in the United States House of Representatives. The records include manuscripts, typescripts, xerox, and other reproductions, newsprint, photographs, printed forms (blank and filled in), published items, and other media. The first box of papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District seat, Schuyler Otis Bland (1872-1950) and Edward John Robeson, Jr. (1890-1966).","Note: The Military Academy Files contain complete applications, including scholastic records, medical records, etc.; these records cannot be served.

Records, 1929-1950 (Accession 25913)\n V. Historical Material, 1927-1950 (Accession 41571)\n","The Virginia State Commission of Conservation and Development was created in 1926 to consolidate and coordinate a number of conservation agencies including the Water Power and Development Commission, the State\nGeological Commission, the State Geological Survey, Office of the State Geologist, Office of the State Forester, and the Division of Parks. Governor Harry F. Byrd appointed his campaign manager William E. Carson\n(1870-1942) as the Commission's first chairman. Between 1926 and 1950 the Commission changed names several times: Virginia State Commission of Conservation and Development (1926-1938), Virginia Conservation\nCommission (1938-1948) and Department of Conservation and Development (1948-1985). Chairman of the Commission included: William E. Carson (1926-1935), Wilbur C. Hall (1935-1939), N. Clarence Smith (1939-1942), and\nWilliam A. Wright (1942-1948). In 1948, the General Assembly, as part of a reorganization of state government abolished the Virginia Conservation Commission and created the Department of Conservation and\nDevelopment. The new agency took over the function of the Conservation Commission, State Port Authority and the State Planning Board. Governor William Tuck named Wright as director of the new Department of\nConservation and Development.\n","In 1927, Carson created the Division of History and Archaeology within the Commission to preserve and develop the historical resources of the state. The new Division was lead by Dr. H.J. Eckenrode, Director;\nColonel Bryan Conrad, Assistant Director; and M.F. Pleasants, Field Assistant. Carson believed that Virginia needed to publicize Virginia's wealth of history and tradition especially to out-of-state travelers. He\ndecided to have markers placed on the states' highways to provide information of historical events that had happened in their vicinity. By the beginning of World War II, the Commission had erected more than 1400\nhistorical markers across Virginia.\n","In addition to the historical marker program, the Division of History assisted in the development of Virginia history in many other ways. It cooperated with the federal government in studying the battlefield of\nYorktown and in the development of the Richmond Battlefield Park. The Division photographed thousands of colonial era houses and other significant structures. The Division sponsored the Federal Writers' Project\nfor Virginia and conducted the WPA's Virginia Historical Inventory.\n","The Commission suspended the historical marker program during World War II because of rationing of metals. In its place, the Commission inaugurated a War records program including a newspaper reference file and\na correspondence program in which a non-salaried correspondent from each locality sent reports about local war time activities and local war activities and reaction to the war. In addition, the Division began a\nprogram to locate and mark the graves of distinguished Virginians. Finally in 1949, the Division published The Hornbook of Virginia History that included a brief history of Virginia and other historical\ninformation.\n","The Department of Conservation and Development, Division of History, Records are housed in 108 boxes, 3 oversize boxes, and 1 oversize map case drawer. The collection is arranged into five (5) series. Series\nhave been designated for: I. Correspondence; II. Virginia War History Project; III. Graves of Distinguished Virginians Project; IV. Records; and V. Historical Material. These records include addresses articles,\ncorrespondence, maps, magazines, minutes, newspapers, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, photographs, postcards, programs, radio addresses, reports scrapbooks and telegrams. These records document Virginia state\ngovernment's development and promotion of the Commonwealth's history and historical resources.\n","The creation and administration of Virginia's Historical Marker program is well documented in the records (Series I). This series provides a wealth of information on the Division's approach to markers, their\nconstruction, inscription, installation and maintenance. Of note to the Civil War Historian, this series also contains records on the creation of the Richmond Battlefield Park. Included are correspondence, maps,\npamphlets and aerial photographs taken of the battlefield in the 1930s.\n","For researchers interested in the life on the home front during World War II, there are some records of note. The Division of History collected reports on home front conditions. Topics include local opinion and\nreaction to war events and news, rosters of local service men and women, activities of local organizations, economic conditions and religious conditions (Series II).\n","The Division of History and Archaeology also attempted to locate graves of distinguished Virginians (Series III) and created a reference file on Virginia History and eventually published The Hornbook of\nVirginia History (Series IV). The Historical Material files is essentially a ready reference collection containing newspaper clippings and historical sketches on historic sites and events. (Series V).\n","Oversize items are filed in 3 boxes and 2 map case drawers. The oversize records consist primarily of maps and newspapers. Oversize items, which were part of the regular sized filing unit, were removed from\ntheir perspective folders. A separation notice listing the item(s) separated and their new location was put in its place. For location and content list of oversize folders, see the listing at the end of the\ncontainer list.\n","It is recommended that the researcher read the series level scope and content notes thoroughly before accessing the collection.\n","The Correspondence series is housed in 70 boxes with oversized material separated and is arranged into two subseries. Subseries have been designated for Correspondence and Correspondence, Dead File. It is\nunknown why some correspondence were separated from the general correspondence (Subseries A) and grouped with the correspondence, dead file (Subseries B), because there is some overlap between the subseries. The\nseries consists primarily of incoming and outgoing correspondence from Division of History staff members including: Dr. Hamilton J. Eckenrode, Director (1927-1949), J.R.V. Daniel, Director (1949-1950), Bryan\nConrad, Assistant Director and M.F. Pleasants, Field Assistant. This series comprises a large and important section of the Division of History records. In this series, researchers have a complete view, from 1927-\n1950, of most of the correspondence sent and received by the Division of History. These correspondence provide insight into the workings of the historical marker program including inscriptions, locations, and\nmanufacturing, instillation and maintenance of markers, and the Division's promotion of history and other activities.\n","This subseries is housed in 55 boxes, one oversize box and two oversize map folders and is arranged alphabetically with subdivisions for general correspondence, additional correspondence and topics. This is the\nlarger of the two subseries and contains a variety of letters from individuals across the county interested in Virginia history and the historical marker program. Topics include historical inquiries, historical\nmarker inscriptions, investigation of the historical marker program by other states, and the Richmond Battlefield Park. Other topics include work of the Division during World War II, Shenandoah National Park,\nbirthplace of the Wright Brothers mother, and biographical information on Dr. Hamilton J. Eckenrode and Bryan Conrad.\n"," The History Division responded to general historical questions concerning Virginia history from historians, history buffs and students from every part of the country. Virginia's historical marker program was a\nmodel for other states and there are inquiries about the program from individuals from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and West\nVirginia. Many of these letters provide detailed information about the marker system (Eckenrode to Douglas Arant, 31 August 1938) and a summary of how to install markers (Pleasants to Arthur Adams, 24 April 1931).\n"," This subseries is a great source of information on the creation of the\n Richmond Battlefield Park\n . Included is a booklet by Eckenrode titled \"History of the Richmond Battlefield Parks\" dated 23 February 1932, aerial photographs of the park taken in the early 1930s by the United States Army Air Corps as\nwell as correspondence, memorandums and reports on the creation of the park.

Eckenrode, began a war records collection program. Unable to continue the\nDivision of History's historical marker program because of wartime rationing, Eckenrode sought to \"record the history of the Old Dominion's war effort while the history is still fresh in the making, rather than\nwait until after the war when the events and details would be more obscured.\" The Conservation Commission began a correspondence program in which a non-salaried correspondent from each locality sent reports about\nlocal war activities and local effects and reaction to the war. The local correspondents also assisted the Virginia World War II History Commission with its' questionnaire, \"Personal War Service Record of\nVirginia's Ward Dead\" completed by the next of kin of Virginia's deceased servicemen.\n","Most of the information in this series contains correspondence reports on local wartime conditions in Virginia from local correspondents mainly during 1943 with a few from 1944 and 1945. Topics include local\nopinion and reaction to war events and news, rosters of local service men and women, activities of local organizations, economic conditions and religious conditions.

In addition, there are correspondence between the History Division and local\ncorrespondents related to the administration of the \"Personal War Service Record of Virginia's War Dead\" questionnaire on behalf of the Virginia World War II History Commission. These records were transferred to\nthe Virginia World War II History Commission and are part of Record Group 68, accession 24805.

He was the grandson of the late state Senator Thomas J. Downing of Lancaster County (see also Accession Nos. 22035 and 22037, the Downing Family Letters).","Downing was born in Newport News on 1 February 1919. He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N. Downing died on 23 October 2001 of complications from intestinal surgery, and is buried in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News.","The first box of the Downing Papers contains a small group of records from Downing's two immediate predecessors in the First District congressional seat. Schuyler Otis Bland of Gloucester County (1872-1950) served in Congress from 1918 until his death in February 1950. His seat was filled by Edward John Robeson, Jr., who was born in Haywood County, North Carolina (1890), spent his childhood in Georgia, and settled as an adult in Newport News. Robeson served in the 81st through the 85th congresses; he was then defeated for renomination by Thomas Downing. He died in 1966 and is buried in North Carolina.","Papers, 1947-1977, of Thomas N. Downing (1919-2001) consist of correspondence, political files, speeches, and related documents; they are the public records related to his 18-year tenure as a congressman representing Virginia's First District in the United States House of Representatives. The records include manuscripts, typescripts, xerox, and other reproductions, newsprint, photographs, printed forms (blank and filled in), published items, and other media.

Downing served Virginia's First District in the House of Representatives from the 86th through the 94th Congresses. He was the grandson of the late state Senator Thomas J. Downing of Lancaster County (see also Accession Nos. 22035 and 22037, the Downing Family Letters).","Downing was born in Newport News on 1 February 1919. He received his public education in that city, graduating from Newport News High School.  He completed his undergraduate education at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating in 1940. During World War II, Downing served as a Combat Troop Commander of Mechanized Cavalry with action in France. He earned a Silver Star for his rescue of two men during a reconnaissance operation in Northern France, and commanded the first of General Patton's Third Army troops to enter Germany. After the war, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia (1948).","Downing practiced law in Hampton and Warwick, and served as a substitute judge for the Municipal Court for the City of Warwick. In 1958, he won election to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat. He was elected to the following eight congresses before declining to run for re-election in 1976.","At the time of his retirement, Downing's constituency included seventeen counties (Accomack, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester, James City, King George, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland, and York) and four cities (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg). The geographic and socio-economic nature of the district caused Representative Downing to place special interest and emphasis on such areas as marine life and quality, military and technological affairs, and agricultural considerations; his years of membership on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Space Science and Technology (formerly Science and Astronautics) committees were important vehicles toward serving those interests. Additionally, his advocacy for re-opening the investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. led to his being appointed the first chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.","After his retirement in 1976, Downing resumed his law practice in Newport News. He was a member of organizations including the American Bar Association, the Lions Club, the American Legion, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He served on the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, 1985-1993, and as president of the Board of Directors of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News.","Thomas N.

Compatible functions of government were grouped under these administrative heads, who would serve as the Governor's top management team. The Office of Secretary of Commerce and Resources was created on April 8, 1972. The Secretary of Commerce and Resources was responsible for assisting the Governor in implementing policies for the conservation and use of natural resources, for promoting economic development, providing managerial guidance and direction to Commerce and Resources agencies, and developing and promoting Commerce and Resources programs and budgets. In 1984 the Secretariat was split into two separate offices, the Secretary of Economic Development and the Secretary of Natural Resources.","The Secretary of Natural Resources is a member of the Governor's Cabinet, and is appointed by the governor, and is subject to confirmation by the General Assembly. The Secretary of Natural Resources was responsible for the direction of, or had jurisdiction over, the following state agencies and boards: Department of Conservation and Recreation, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Department of Historic Resources, Marine Resources Commission, Museum of Natural History, and the Virginia Council on Indians. The Secretary of Natural Resources also served as the chairman of the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation, and was a Board Member of the Chesapeake Bay Commission. Additionally, the Secretary of Natural Resources was responsible for many smaller boards and commissions related to water control, pollution, rivers, waste management, and other environmental and recreational issues.","Douglas W. Domenech was appointed Secretary of Natural Resources in January 2010 and served for the entire administration of Governor Robert F. McDonnell.

Domenech, during the administration of Governor Robert F. McDonnell (2010-2014). The records include agendas, correspondence, decision briefs, memorandum, presentations, programs, reports, studies, and other working papers. There is correspondence and subject files that relate to Secretary Domenech, the state agencies that he oversees, environmental organizations that operate in Virginia, and projects initiated by Governor McDonnell. Legislative files contain material related to bills that were either under the purview of the Secretary of Natural Resources or upon which the Secretary wished to comment. ","Wherever possible, the original order of the files has been maintained.","Series I: Correspondence and Supporting Documentation, 2002-2014 (bulk 2009-2013), is housed in eighteen boxes and arranged alphabetically by folder title. Included is correspondence, manuals, minutes, memorandum, publications, reports, studies, surveys, and other related materials. Of note are the files related to the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay including board meeting minutes, correspondence, memorandum, publications, reports, and strategic plans for Phase I and Phase II of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan. Also of note are the files on the FMFADA (Fort Monroe Federal Area Development Authority). The 2005 BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure Commission) closed the military facilities on Fort Monroe and the FMFADA was created to establish a Reuse Plan for Fort Monroe when it was reverted to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The files include agreements, correspondence, environmental impact studies, manuals, meeting minutes, memorandum, reports, and other sundry materials.","Included are files regarding the Chickahominy Indian Tribe and the Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2009 (S. 1178). Also included is a file regarding the establishment of The Hand Site historical highway marker for the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indians of Southampton County, Virginia. Other files include federal projects such as energy efficiency and offshore wind; land and easement acquisitions by the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation; Governor's Commission on Economic Development and Job Creation; uranium mining; Smith Mountain Lake shoreline management; oyster management; and invasive species, among others. \n","Series II: Decision Memoranda and Briefs, 2010-2013, is housed in six boxes and arranged alphabetically by folder title. This series includes correspondence, decision briefs, memorandum, requests, and other related materials. Included are decision tracking sheets with attached correspondence or memoranda detailing the topics. Also included are critical hiring requests for the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, Dept. of Environmental Quality, Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries, Dept. of Historic Resources, Marine Resources Commission, and the Virginia Museum of Natural History.\n","Series III: Legislative files, 2007-2013, is housed in twenty boxes and arranged alphabetically by folder title. This series includes agendas, budget materials, conference programs, correspondence, memorandum, newsclippings, presentations, press releases, reports, studies, and other sundry materials. Many of the records in this series contain information on various natural resources-related projects and issues, while other files contain agency-specific administrative information, general correspondence (including a limited amount of constituent correspondence), agency strategic plans, and meeting material, including agendas, print-outs of presentations, and minutes. Topics include energy, offshore wind, uranium mining, water conservation, and others. Of note are several folders relating to Offshore Wind Energy and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). There is much overlap between the Offshore Wind and OCS files. The Federal government awarded Virginia with an OCS oil and gas lease sale in March of 2010 but later cancelled the sale. \n","Included are legislative action summaries which often contain a summary of the bill; a summary of constituents who would be affected; the recommendation of the agency within the Secretary of Natural Resources as to whether the Governor should sign, veto, or amend the bill; and the recommendation of the Secretary as to whether the Governor should sign, veto, or amend the bill. Legislative action summaries are also included in other series.","Also included are correspondence and subject files relating to the state agencies that are overseen by the Secretary of Natural Resources: the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Marine Resources Commission, and the Virginia Museum of Natural History.","Series IV: Public Relations, Activities, and Visits, 2010-2013, is housed in three and a half boxes and with general materials arranged to the front.
