Series 1: Research Papers, 1956-1958, includes correspondence related to Dingledine's research for the book, "Madison College: the First Fifty Years, 1908-1958," published in 1959. It is largely comprised of reflections by alumnae of the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg (later known as State Normal School for Women) about their experiences of campus life from 1909 until ca. 1925. Notable contributors include Rachel Cleveland Ebbert Burruss and Linnie Lucille Campbell Duke, and Harry Foster, Secretary of the State Board of Education regarding minutes of the Virginia Normal School Board and State Teacher College Board held in Richmond (1:1). The series includes a pamphlet and order form announcing the release of the book (1:2).

Series 2: Topical Files, 1950-1983, is comprised of professional and academic papers maintained by Dr. Dingledine in his capacity as professor within the History Department at Madison College. Note that two files in this series related to the Faculty Judiciary Committee and the College Judicial Appeals Committee are restricted from use for 80 years from the date of their creation due to the presence of student records protected by FERPA.
