At the time, it was known as the Alumnae Association, reflecting its all-women membership. As the growing Madison College began accepting male students, the association renamed itself the Alumni Association to reflect the institution's move towards coeducation. In 2017, the Alumni Association had over 127,000 members. ","The JMU Alumni Association is a JMU organization which facilitates relations with JMU alumni and the university, encouraging their continued engagement and support for the school. The organization's membership consists of all individuals who have completed 12 credit hours from JMU or its previous institutional iterations. ","The Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni Board of Directors, an executive committee, and representatives from the JMU Board of Visitors. The primary actions and strategies of the Board of Directors are carried out by the Office of Alumni Relations.","One of the most visible activities the Alumni Association organizes is class reunions. The reunions take place at regular intervals after a class's graduation. The Alumni Association handles the logistical issues in planning, notifying, and registering alumni for the event. Festivities often include campus tours, luncheons, and group photographs. ","The Alumni Association also oversees the Bluestone Society, a subgroup of alumni from JMU having celebrated their 50th class reunion. Bluestone reunions are marked by larger-scale events and festivities and the members' induction into the society. The earliest mention of the organization was in 1974 at the 50th reunion of the class of 1924. Its official title was given in 1983 for the joint reunion of alumni from 1908 to 1933. All alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago are automatically inducted into the society. The society's name comes from the bluestone architecture of the quad area, the oldest portion of the JMU campus. ","Duplicate photographs as well as negative strips of photographs were not retained. Slide negatives positively identified as pages or images from the yearbook or other historic photographs already part of UA 0051 were not retained. University publications were either discarded if duplicates or added to bibliographic holdings.","See also:   Alumni Collections  held by Special Collections.","The collection consists of the administrative files and photographs of the Alumni Association, all referring to the individual graduated classes of JMU, Madison College, and the State Normal School. The collection also includes the photographs used in a commemorative reunion book and a VHS tape of 1999 reunions.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1934-2015, is primarily made up of files used for the logistical planning of reunions and files created for reunion attendees. These files include photographs, reunion booklets, active class member lists, sign-up sheets, alumni correspondence, and newsletters. These files remain largely in their original order, organized by the graduating classes. Nearly every class file includes reunion booklets for reunions between 1970 and 2005. Most class files include group photographs of alumni during reunions, as well as candid shots of reunion festivities. ","Some ephemeral material donated by alumni to be used to benefit reunion festivities. One such example is a Madison College degree as well as a sorority membership certificate, housed in the Class of 1955 file. ","Also in the series are files for the Bluestone Society and unlabeled class files. The Bluestone Society file includes administrative files for early Bluestone Society reunions, as well as the alma mater for the society. The unlabeled class file includes materials from reunions, but hold no indication as to which graduating class they correspond.","Photographs with accompanying negatives remain in their original envelopes for organizational purposes.","A VHS tape labeled \"1999 Reunions\" is also included. This likely has recordings of the events and festivities of various reunions that took place in 1999. A note is included in the VHS box that lists names and addresses of alumni and their corresponding years, likely a list of alumni to whom copies of the VHS were distributed. ","Series 2: Photographs, 1945-1995, is made up of the photographs submitted by various 1940s alumni to be compiled into the \"Welcome back to the memories... the decade of the '40s\" yearbook-style book given to Bluestone Society members during reunions in the 1990s. All photographs have reference tags attached to refer to its location in the book. The photographs are largely of the 1940s alumni, most taken in the 1990s to represent the alumni at the time of the reunion. The alumni are mostly depicted with friends and family. Many photographs have hand-written notes on the back to identify those pictured and context. These photographs are all represented in the book, most with additional detail on those depicted. ","Photographs are stored according to size for organizational purposes.","Series 3: Accession 2023-0127, 2023-0419, 1924-2008, primarily comprises photographs and photograph albums from events organized by the Alumni Association. Events include reunion weekend festivities, Bluestone Society inductions, Homecoming, Leeolou Alumni Center grand opening and parties, golf tournaments, award ceremonies, and group trips. Administrative files include planning documents, peer institution research, and reunion logistics.","Features commencement, general campus views, buildings and grounds, snow scenes, autumn and changing leaves, Quad, Greek Row, Wilson Hall and cupola, Sonner Hall, Carrier Library, Convocation Center, Warren Hall, Burruss Hall, Hillside dormitories, Newman Lake, Marching Royal Dukes, athletics, students, aerials, 1982 NCAA men's basketball tournament, freshmen move-in, and more.","Documents September 1989 trip to Smith Mountain Lake and April 1990 trip to Edisto Island, South Carolina.

At the time, it was known as the Alumnae Association, reflecting its all-women membership. As the growing Madison College began accepting male students, the association renamed itself the Alumni Association to reflect the institution's move towards coeducation. In 2017, the Alumni Association had over 127,000 members. ","The JMU Alumni Association is a JMU organization which facilitates relations with JMU alumni and the university, encouraging their continued engagement and support for the school. The organization's membership consists of all individuals who have completed 12 credit hours from JMU or its previous institutional iterations. ","The Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni Board of Directors, an executive committee, and representatives from the JMU Board of Visitors. The primary actions and strategies of the Board of Directors are carried out by the Office of Alumni Relations.","One of the most visible activities the Alumni Association organizes is class reunions. The reunions take place at regular intervals after a class's graduation. The Alumni Association handles the logistical issues in planning, notifying, and registering alumni for the event. Festivities often include campus tours, luncheons, and group photographs. ","The Alumni Association also oversees the Bluestone Society, a subgroup of alumni from JMU having celebrated their 50th class reunion. Bluestone reunions are marked by larger-scale events and festivities and the members' induction into the society. The earliest mention of the organization was in 1974 at the 50th reunion of the class of 1924. Its official title was given in 1983 for the joint reunion of alumni from 1908 to 1933. All alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago are automatically inducted into the society. The society's name comes from the bluestone architecture of the quad area, the oldest portion of the JMU campus. ","Duplicate photographs as well as negative strips of photographs were not retained. Slide negatives positively identified as pages or images from the yearbook or other historic photographs already part of UA 0051 were not retained. University publications were either discarded if duplicates or added to bibliographic holdings.","See also:   Alumni Collections  held by Special Collections.","The collection consists of the administrative files and photographs of the Alumni Association, all referring to the individual graduated classes of JMU, Madison College, and the State Normal School. The collection also includes the photographs used in a commemorative reunion book and a VHS tape of 1999 reunions.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1934-2015, is primarily made up of files used for the logistical planning of reunions and files created for reunion attendees. These files include photographs, reunion booklets, active class member lists, sign-up sheets, alumni correspondence, and newsletters. These files remain largely in their original order, organized by the graduating classes. Nearly every class file includes reunion booklets for reunions between 1970 and 2005. Most class files include group photographs of alumni during reunions, as well as candid shots of reunion festivities. ","Some ephemeral material donated by alumni to be used to benefit reunion festivities. One such example is a Madison College degree as well as a sorority membership certificate, housed in the Class of 1955 file. ","Also in the series are files for the Bluestone Society and unlabeled class files. The Bluestone Society file includes administrative files for early Bluestone Society reunions, as well as the alma mater for the society.

The aim of this first meeting was to discuss the needs of college-educated women and to broaden opportunities and assist women in higher education. The organization is nonpartisan and nonprofit with more than 170,000 members. The mission of AAUW is \"to advance gender equity for women through research, education, and advocacy.\" Membership in AAUW is open to anyone holding a two-year associate degree or higher from an accredited college or university, or equivalent. ","The Harrisonburg branch of AAUW was founded on April 15, 1929 in Alumnae Hall on the campus of the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg (now James Madison University). The branch was organized with 15 charter members including Virginia Harnsberger, librarian at the State Teachers College, who was elected its first president. During the 1940s, the branch established and provided continued support for the Virginia Harnsberger Memorial Fund to furnish the Children's Room at the new Rockingham Public Library. In addition to membership dues, the recipe book  Recipes of the Shenandoah Valley , first published in 1959, served as a primary funding source for branch activities and outreach. Since 1975, the branch has held regular book club meetings. Current branch initiatives include equal rights and equal pay advocacy as well as voter registration. In partnership with JMU, the branch organizes \"Girls Can,\" an annual STEM conference and career fair for middle school girls.","The Harrisonburg branch of AAUW officially disbanded on July 1, 2025.","In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2019.  This collection was previously cataloged as SC 5036.","During this time, the collection was also reprocessed in order to simplify the intellectual arrangement, increase discoverability through better description, and better stabilize  the materials through physical rehousing. Significant changes to the collection include the weeding of bank statements, canceled checks and check stubs, receipts, and deposit slips. Their research value is minimal and furthermore the financial activities of AAUW are documented in the bound account books and membership files which were retained. Additionally, duplicate materials, primarily multiple copies of newsletters and publications, were also discarded.","Loose copies of the Harrisonburg Branch Yearbook and branch newsletters, originally associated with the 1929-1947 scrapbook, were filed with like materials in Series 1 and Series 4 respectively.","When the collection was originally processed in September 2012, the pages of the 1929-1947 scrapbook were separated from the boards and photocopied. The original scrapbook, boards, pages, and photocopied pages are all retained.","The American Association of University Women (AAUW) Records, Harrisonburg, Virginia Branch, 1929-2017, document the activities of Harrisonburg's local AAUW branch and include administrative records, meeting minutes, bylaws, membership records, financial files, publications and newsletters, annual conference materials, scrapbooks, ephemera, and photographs.","Researchers should note that while there is a discrete series for Financial Files, other series, specifically Administrative Files, also contain documents related to the financial goings-on of AAUW. Cross-referencing related series is encouraged. Similarly, the absence of a Correspondence series does not denote a lack of correspondence. In fact, correspondence is likely located in most series.","Series 1: Administrative Files, 1929-2015, comprises bylaws, meeting minutes, membership files, and general materials related to the administrative activities of the Harrisonburg branch of AAUW. Materials related to other branches, specifically bylaws, are also included.","Series 2: Financial Files, 1969-2007, documents the business activities of the AAUW, Harrisonburg branch. The account books document the branch's income and expenses. Complementary materials include financial statements and reports, budgets, and treasurer's reports.","Series 3: Causes, Activism, and Education, 1965-2008, comprises subject files related to the mission of AAUW, particularly concerning social movements, education, and voting rights.","Series 4: Publications, 1968-2011, contains official publications and printed material primarily created by AAUW as well as the Harrisonburg branch, other local branches, and the Virginia division. ","The Harrisonburg Branch newsletter has had several title changes during the course of its publication. The titles represented in this collection include: \"U\" News, AAUW Newsletter, AAUW News, and The Inside Track. There are periods of time during which the newsletter does not have a discernable title. In the spirit of keeping like materials together, all branch newsletters, regardless of title, are filed under the generic title \"Newsletters.\" ","This series also includes publications explicitly related to causes, activism, and education. Relatedly, regularly published periodicals by AAUW also include articles related to the organization's causes. Researchers are encouraged to cross-reference Series 3: Causes, Activism, and Education for related subject files.","Series 5: Conventions and Programming, 1968-2017, comprises programs and related materials documenting the annual Virginia AAUW convention. The Harrisonburg branch's implementation of \"Girls Can,\" a STEM career fair, is documented in this series. This series also includes assorted programming and promotional materials and flyers.","Series 6: Scrapbooks, Photographs, and Ephemera, 1929-2011, comprises five scrapbooks, photo albums and loose photographs, printed ephemera, and realia. The scrapbooks include newspaper clippings, ephemera, programs, and photographs documenting the activities of the AAUW, Harrisonburg branch during a given time period. Of particular interest is a sash including the phrase \"MARCH FOR WOMEN'S EQUALITY, WOMEN'S LIVES.\"","Series 7: 2025-0909 Accession, 1979-2025, comprises assorted administrative records documenting the activities of the Harrisonburg branch of AAUW. Materials include newsletters, yearbooks, conference programs, newspaper clippings, and records related to branch initiatives including the Equal Rights Amendment, the Crystal Theodore Scholarship, and other philanthropic endeavors.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collection Library.

Home economics, also known as household arts, was deemed an essential component of a good public school education for women along with agriculture and trades. By 1918, the school began receiving federal funding as part of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act to train teachers and supervisors of home economics. Two student organizations, Frances Sale Club and Phi Omicron Tau, were affiliated with the department though both were likely dissolved in the early 1990s.","Early courses in home economics covered sewing and textiles, cooking, home cleaning, home nursing, home furnishing and decoration, design, household mechanics, and millinery. The curriculum later included dietetics and child development. Notable faculty included Frances Sale, the school's first home economics instructor; Pearl Moody, head of the home economics department; Bernice Varner, dean of women and head of the home economics department; and Dorothy Rowe ('50), alumna and head of the home economics department. Over time the home economics curriculum was part of the following departments: Household Arts, Department of Home Economics, Department of Living Sciences, Dietetics, and Department of Health Professions.","The Home Economics Club, first organized in 1912, redesignated itself as the Frances Sale Club in 1924 and was named after the State Normal and Industrial School's first home economics teacher. The club had an open membership to all students enrolled in a home economics course. Over time, membership was limited to students majoring in home economics which included coursework in dietetics, fashion merchandising, and interior design. The symbol of the Frances Sale Club was the Betty lamp due to its association with colonial domestic activity. Yuri Nemoto, Madison College's first Asian American matriculate, was an active member and officer of the Frances Sale Club and is listed in the treasurer's book as well as membership lists.","Phi Omicron Tau, the local home economics honor society, was founded in September 1962. The 15 founding members were initiated on January 15, 1963. Specific membership requirements for Phi Omicron Tau changed over the years, but were largely based on grade point average and a minimum number of credit hours in home economics. The society's colors were black, symbolizing old and academic growth, and white, symbolizing research. The society selected a theme for each academic year and the year's programming and events would relate to that theme. Themes include Great Women, Observing Our World, The Intelligent Woman, and Home Economists Coping with a Changing World. The society's overarching objective was to promote interest in home economics. More specifically, the society and its members worked to promote scholarship in home economics, review new research in the field, create and encourage interest in the profession, foster the development of creative leadership, encourage and foster high ethical standards in home and professional life, and teach the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise.","Meeting minutes and other administrative files were removed from binders and other bulky or acidic enclosures.","The collection was briefly titled Home Economics Student Organization Records before the incorporation of accession LS 91-0904 in January 2023.","LS 91-0904 was minimally processed with limited description after being transferred to Special Collections in 1991. These records, comprising administrative records and photographs, were minimally reprocessed to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings. They were added to the home economics student organizations records due to their creation by the same administrative body. The accession information for LS 91-0904 refers to two scrapbooks, but given the absence of physical scrapbooks, these were likely disassembled with their contents photocopied or removed and placed into folders.","The Department of Living Sciences Records, circa 1915-2003, comprise the administrative files, photographs, and scrapbooks documenting the activities of the Department of Living Sciences and affiliated student organizations (Frances Sale Club and Phi Omicron Tau) at James Madison University. The collection includes meeting minutes, annual reports, course information, student organization membership lists, financial records, loose photographs of students and faculty, and scrapbooks of photographs and printed ephemera.","Series 1: Student Organizations, 1942-2003, comprises the administrative files and scrapbooks documenting the activities of the Frances Sale Club and Phi Omicron Tau, two student organizations affiliated with James Madison University's home economics department. Records include meeting minutes, membership lists, financial records, and scrapbooks of photographs and printed ephemera.","Sub-Series 1.1: Frances Sale Club, 1942-1990, comprises meeting minutes, financial records related to member dues and club expenses, membership lists, and scrapbooks. The scrapbooks include annotated photographs of members, events and programming, guest speakers, and Virginia Home Economics Association (VHEA)/Student Member Section (SMS) meetings. The scrapbooks also contain assorted printed ephemera, newspaper clippings, and newsletters.","Sub-Series 1.2: Phi Omicron Tau, 1951-2003, comprises meeting minutes, financial records related to member dues and expenses, correspondence and scrapbooks. The scrapbooks include photographs, handbooks, thank-you notes, and assorted printed ephemera. Other administrative files include a constitution and by-laws, reports, initiation procedures, and a brief history of the organization.","Series 2: Administrative Files, 1928-1991, includes annual reports, self-study reports, meeting minutes, information on curriculum and course outlines, historical information on the department, and lists of graduates and their respective careers.","Series 3: Photographs, circa 1915-1970s, documents individual students, faculty (Dorothy Rowe, Pearl Moody, etc.), groups and clubs, social events, classrooms, test kitchens, and laboratories. Students are pictured preparing food, working with textiles, and making clothing and costumes. The bulk of the individual student photographs are identified and dated. A portrait photograph of Yuri Nemoto, Madison College's first Asian American student, is included. Unidentified toddlers and children are featured in some of the photographs. These likely document courses or practicums in child development and family relationships. A group of photographs thoroughly document the interior and exterior of the Practice House (now Varner House). Photographs of Moody Hall, Madison Memorial Library (now Carrier Library), and the power plant are included.","Printed materials were separated from the collection and cataloged as part of Special Collections rare book holdings.","Files related to Danielle Torisky's \"A History of Dining Services at James Madison University\" (2007), completed as part of a Burruss research grant in JMU history, as well as her collection of Dining Services at JMU Oral Histories (SdArch 36) were added to Special Collections control files.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

General George Washington mentions the Williamsburg club in some of his letters, and tradition holds that in 1779, the members accepted the General's recommendation to venerate the memory of Casimir Pulaski and name their group in his honor as a tribute to Pulaski's valiant service and personal sacrifice in the cause of American freedom.","Herbert L. Ganter, for years archivist at the College of William and Mary, and Dr. Henry E. Davis of Eastern State Hospital, club members, spent hours in the early 1960s researching the club. Based on the information they collected, including published accounts and the club's surviving minutes, it appears that the organization lapsed sometime during or after the \"Late Unpleasantness of 1861-1865.\" It reappeared in the guise of a college club sometime between 1870 and 1875, when Henry Denison \"Den\" Cole of Williamsburg was a student."," Cole, evidently, carried the club from the college to his family-operated business-the Cole Shop-on Duke of Gloucester Street. Gradually the group comprised businessmen of the town and college professors, many of them prominent citizens. As the years went by, it was not unusual for members to be found at the Cole Shop sitting around a wood stove in the back room."," The club has records that go back over 100 years.
