Robert Douthat Meade Research

Containers:
Box 47, Folder 13
Scope and content:

These files included mostly photocopies and photostat copies of research material of Robert Douthat Meade. They were in 10 folders arranged in alphabetical order. Since the material was not original nor related to Parke Rouse's research, they have not been kept. A few original items have been kept: postcard of Wright Square in Savannah, Georgia; postcard of Madison Square; photograph of monument to De Kalb in Camden, South Carolina; and a portfolio of reproductions of photographs by Ken Sturgeon, staff photographer of WIS-TV, December 1969. Robert Douthat Meade was head of the History Department at Randolph Macon Woman's College. He taught Betsy Rouse who graduated from Randolph Macon in 1942. His wife, Lucy Burwell Boyd of Warrenton, North Carolina, a cousin of Betsy Rouse, gave Parke Rouse this material in case he wanted it for his research with permission to discard if not needed.
