A Guide to the Contents of the Huff Lane Elementary School Time Capsule

The collection consists of 1 record storage box and the time capsule. The materials contained in this collection are varied, but include different reports and pamphlets associated with the city and the schools. The collection includes several newspaper sections, small stamps, coins, brochures, reports, and directories. The collection focuses specifically on 1949-1950 to commemorate the year the time capsule was sealed within the Huff Lane cornerstone, while there are a few items that fall outside of that time range, most are from 1950. While the collection provides a fairly well-rounded perspective of 1950s Roanoke, it does not include photographs from the time. Perhaps the most interesting piece is the Chamber of Commerce statistical report. It details remarkable facts about Roanoke in a relatively short document.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
