The collection includes correspondence, operation notes, printed materials, blueprintsm, and photographs. ","While Jacocks' papers contain a small selection of correspondence and records pertaining to Mathieson's operation, they largely consist of trade publications (both promotional and instructional). The catalogs promote steel products as well as various pieces of machinery and other products. The instructional materials consist of manuals for specific pieces of machinery as well as general technical publications. Within the collection is also a set of undated drafting standards for the Virginia Iron and Bridge Company (Roanoke, Virginia). ","The papers also include a set of approximately two dozen blueprints and drawings, mostly for parts and machinery to be used at Mathieson. Except where otherwise noted, the drawings seem to have been completed in-house (a few were drawn by Jacocks himself). Among the drawings is a 1914 aerial view of Mathieson Alkali Works.","The following works were transferred to the Rare Book Collection in 1992:","Missing Title Hawkins, N.,  Indicator catechism : a practical treatise  (New York: Theo.

Slayton Hawkins, was born in Waverly, Virginia, in 1889. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute with a BS in electrical engineering  in 1910. Hawkins worked for General Electric in Schenectady, New York from 1910 until 1913, when he was hired as an electrical engineer for Canadian Explosives, Ltd., in Montreal. Hawkins founded the Hawkins-Hamilton Company in Richmond, Virginia in 1914, and served as the company's president until retiring in 1959. He was an active alumnus of Virginia Tech, serving as the alumni association's first vice president and president and was also a member of the association's board of directors and the Alumni Fund Council. Hawkins married Mary Edith Lynn in 1919; the couple had two children. Herman B. Hawkins died on March 1, 1981 and was buried in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery.","Charles Taylor Adams (more widely known as Taylor Adams) was born in Richmond, Virginia on November 18, 1888. The son of Robert Lee Adams, he entered Virginia Polytechnic Institute as a sophomore in the school's horticultural program in 1908. As editor of the school newspaper,  The Virginia Tech , Adams became involved in at least one controversy relating to editorials issued under the title \"Asbestographs.\" In response to criticism, Adams on Februrary 2, 1910, issued a \"spotless edition\" of the paper; the issue contained only only advertising, all text columns remaining blank.  Adams left school in 1910 and was hired as a reporter by  The Lynchburg News . Later, he moved to New York, where he spent nearly 50 years working in advertising. Following the death of his first wife, Adams married Muriel Haynes--also an advertising executive--in 1956. Charles Taylor Adams died on in New York on December 10, 1981.","The guide to the Herman Bruce Hawkins Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Herman Bruce Hawkins Papers commenced and was completed in May 2012.","This collection contains the papers of Herman Bruce Hawkins, a graduate of Virginia Tech (BS, electrical engineering, 1910), president of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association, and 1961 recipient of the university's Distinguished Alumni Citation. The collection includes correspondence and printed materials. ","Much of the collection focuses on Charles Taylor Adams (more widely known as Taylor Adams), a classmate of Hawkins. The collection includes two files of correspondence exchanged between Hawkins and Adams, largely concerning the topics of communism, civil rights, and nuclear disarmament. Adams, an avowed communist, rails against the ills of western society, especially those of the southern United States, and extolls the virtues of communism in Russia and China, foreseeing a utopian ideal in the distant future. Adams frequently advocates civil rights for African Americans and, in doing so, encloses a number of printed materials from the NAACP and CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) concerning Freedom Riders; Robert F. Williams; events in Monroe, North Carolina; and (briefly) desegregation of schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Elsewhere, Adams writes of nuclear disarmament, enclosing printed materials to support his views. Hawkins, meanwhile, defends capitalism and the existing social structure, concluding that a utopian society would be \"frightfully dull... a world of ants.\" Also within these folders are a few letters exchanged between Hawkins and Virginius Dabney (editor of the  Richmond Times-Dispatch ), with whom Hawkins was surreptitiously sharing some of Adams' correspondence. ","In addition to the correspondence file is a subject file on Adams, mostly relating to his attempt to remotely organize a protest march at Virginia Tech in response to a 1969 campus appearance by U. S. Army Chief of Staff General William Westmoreland. Included are copies of advertisements placed by Adams in  The Virginia Tech  school newspaper, letters to the editor from Adams and others, and  correspondence (regarding Adams) exchanged between Hawkins and others, including Virginia Tech President T. Marshall Hahn.","The collection also contains a folder of material relating to Hawkins as recipient of the Virginia Tech Distinguished Alumni Citation. Included are correspondence, memoranda, biographical material, and printed materials.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

Niemeyer matriculated at Virginia Agricultural \u0026 Mechanical College from Portsmouth, Virginia in 1875 and seems to have graduated in 1878. He married Marie Louise Hook in St. Louis in 1882. Census records indicate that the couple moved with their oldest daughter back to Portsmouth, Virginia in late 1883 or 1884. The Niemeyers had four more daughters and lived on Swimming Point in Portsmouth. Through the 1880s and 1890s, Niemeyer tried his hand at several different business enterprises. His obituary reported that he had engaged in the commission business, the book business, and the real estate and rental business. He had also been connected with  the  Portsmouth Star  as a \"special man and route agent.\" City directories of the late 1880s list him as a brick manufacturer. Niemeyer's business connections led him, in 1896, to be elected secretary and treasurer of Portsmouth's board of trade, a position in which he continued to serve until his death, which occurred in his home on July 17, 1899. He was buried in Portsmouth's Cedar Grove Cemetery.","The guide to the Hermann C.

Hicks, had at least four children: Edward J., John R., James M. and Lula. It appears that Fanny Hicks survived her husband, but was in poor health for a long time. ","Various bonds and receipts within the collection indicate that Hicks was engaged in the tobacco business. He cultivated tobacco on large tracts of his land and sold it on a fairly large scale to individuals and cooperatives. He also owned livestock. Hicks served as a Justice of the Peace with the Campbell County Court, where he appraised property, inspected cattle and bore witness on cases, among other things.

Hicks lived in various places, including Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Saint Louis, Missouri; and Clinton, Louisiana. John seems to have been a religious man, working for a school. The papers suggest that Edward J. Hicks lived in Evington and helped his father with his tobacco business. ","Stephen Hicks lived in Bedford County, where he owned a large estate.

Hicks and his family. The collection has been divided among the following broad categories: Personal correspondence, Farm and household transactions, Tax records, Memorandum books, Legal records, Other family members, Printed material and Envelopes. ","Personal family correspondence contains letters between John W. Sledd, R. W. Hicks' nephew, J. R. Hicks, J. M. Hicks, Edward Hicks, M. Irvine, S. J. Adams, L. J. Quinn, Fanie Hicks, Lula Wilkinson, R. W. Hicks, and Bessie Rawlings (Lula's tutor) among others. ","Transactions of the Hicks farm and household are recorded in a set of folders containing various documents. Monetary transactions are also tracked through a large number of receipts for personal and household goods, such as groceries and hardware. Nearly all of the receipts are in the name of R. W. Hicks, though in later years, some bear the names of his children. The bills and receipts are complemented by a set of yearly accounts, summarizing the family's monetary transactions with individual businesses, as well as a group of shopping lists for personal goods. Also included are documents and receipts relating to bonds made primarily for business purposes. ","Also relating to the Hicks family home and farm are tax records containing receipts for property taxes paid by the family in Campbell and Bedford counties. ","The legal records folder contains materials relating to Hicks' service as Campbell County justice of the peace. The papers include summons issued by Hicks as well as summons for him to appear as a witness in other cases. There are also papers relating to his inspection of cattle for local farmers. ","The collection also contains a small number of materials relating to other family members, including official letters and payment receipts in the name of John Morris Hicks who worked with the Hudson Coal Company. Lula and Edward Wilkinson's payment receipts and related correspondence are part of this folder. Tax records on the property of Stephen Hicks of Bedford County are available, and there is evidence of the subsequent sale of that land for non-payment of taxes. ","The printed material folder contains various publications, most relating to Hicks family interests and affiliations. Included is the 10th Annual Report of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (1888) as well as printed advertisements for various medicines, beauty products, gardening material and insurance.
