Additional Description

Abstract

The album is, unfortunately, unidentified at present. Although most photographs are “labeled” with personal notes, some with names, there is no indication of the name of the owner, specific dates, or full names of most people pictured. However, photographs clearly show a female student who attended both the Berea Academy and the Teacher’s College in Richmond, spent time serving in Europe during WWI, followed by what can be assumed as time teaching in Pennsylvania. The clothing and other contextual clues point to very early 20^th century through WWI and beyond. (Jaime Marie Bradley, College Archivist, 25 Jan 2012)
