Media coverage scrapbook, 1955/1959

Containers:

Box 43

Scope and content:

Scrapbook containing newspaper clippings from external media sources meticulously covering Mary Washington College and its faculty, staff, students, and events. The sources are most frequently, but not limited to, Virgina newspapers like the Free Lance-Star and Richmond Times-Dispatch. It appears to be something that could have been assembled by the college's media relations office, although there is no identifying context. The scrapbook provides a fairly comprehensive timeline of events and important figures at MWC from 1955 through 1959.

Physical description:

Black canvas cover with "Sept. 1955-Aug. 1959" handwritten on paper glued to the center; damage and wear along the edges. Media is fragile and affixed with glue to brittle paper; many loose materials throughout.
