She took singing and dancing lessons in high school and began performing on the professional stage by the time she graduated. She married  Harry Moss , a theatrical agent, in 1922. She spent the years between 1922 and 1930 as a  Ziegfeld Follies  chorus girl in such productions as  The Three Musketeers ,  Garrick Gaieties , and  Funny Face . Moss also modeled for New York Daily News advertisements. In 1927 she gave birth to her only daughter, Marilyn (later known as Alwyn). In 1928 she refused to audition in the nude for producer  Earl Carroll 's show  Fioretta , brought charges against Carroll before Actor's Equity, the theater union, and won the case in January 1929.","In the late 1930s Moss traveled to Europe, the beginning of a series of trips abroad throughout the remainder of her life. Upon her return to the U.S. she launched into her writing career, and completed the first draft of the novel   Catha's Sister  , based on her experiences on the stage. When her marriage ended in the early 1940s, she became a freelance secretary. Her employers included  Erich Fromm ,  Rollo May ,  Countess Mona Bismarck  (for whom she later worked full time as an administrative secretary on her estate in Capri, Italy), and  Paul Pierre Matisse , son of the painter, for whom she worked in Nice, France. During this time she also worked on another novel,  A Widow's Odyssey  (unpublished). Other, shorter works include children's books  The Friends of Tinkle Rescue Club  and  The Runaway Balloon  (unpublished). She moved to Nice in the mid-1960s and returned the United States in 1975, settling in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1981 she moved to Floyd, Virginia, to live with her daughter, and in 1984 moved to a retirement community in Blacksburg, Virginia. She died five days before her 85th birthday in March 1988.","The guide to the Ann Eve Moss Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Original processing of the Papers was completed in November 1990 by L.

She took singing and dancing lessons in high school and began performing on the professional stage by the time she graduated. She married  Harry Moss , a theatrical agent, in 1922. She spent the years between 1922 and 1930 as a  Ziegfeld Follies  chorus girl in such productions as  The Three Musketeers ,  Garrick Gaieties , and  Funny Face . Moss also modeled for New York Daily News advertisements. In 1927 she gave birth to her only daughter, Marilyn (later known as Alwyn). In 1928 she refused to audition in the nude for producer  Earl Carroll 's show  Fioretta , brought charges against Carroll before Actor's Equity, the theater union, and won the case in January 1929.","In the late 1930s Moss traveled to Europe, the beginning of a series of trips abroad throughout the remainder of her life. Upon her return to the U.S. she launched into her writing career, and completed the first draft of the novel   Catha's Sister  , based on her experiences on the stage. When her marriage ended in the early 1940s, she became a freelance secretary. Her employers included  Erich Fromm ,  Rollo May ,  Countess Mona Bismarck  (for whom she later worked full time as an administrative secretary on her estate in Capri, Italy), and  Paul Pierre Matisse , son of the painter, for whom she worked in Nice, France. During this time she also worked on another novel,  A Widow's Odyssey  (unpublished). Other, shorter works include children's books  The Friends of Tinkle Rescue Club  and  The Runaway Balloon  (unpublished). She moved to Nice in the mid-1960s and returned the United States in 1975, settling in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1981 she moved to Floyd, Virginia, to live with her daughter, and in 1984 moved to a retirement community in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Most material is stored in legal size folders, but some oversized material is stored in a flat box (Box 4) and in oversize folders.","Series I: Records of Individuals, 1941-1976, n.d., contains material about women architects arranged alphabetically by last name. It includes some oversized architectural plans. Most of this series is undated.","Series II: General Information about Women and Architecture, 1892-1976, is arranged chronologically by date of publication.","The Architectural League of New York is a non-profit organization that sponsors exhibitions, research studies, and projects that explore ideas in architecture and related art and design fields. The ALNY promotes excellence and innovation in architecture and urbanism by broadening the knowledge of these fields and communicating the importance of architecture in public life.","In 1973 the ALNY founded the Archive of Women in Architecture as a means to gather data about the careers of women in the field of architecture and other design professions. The project was made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and contributions from CBS, Inc., IBM Corporation, and Harry Winston, Inc. The archive committee consisted of Susana Torre, Coordinator, Phyllis Birkby, Regi Goldberg, Marjorie Hoog, Naomi Leff, Dimon Liu, Mimi Lobell, and Marita O'Hare.","In September of that year, the Archive began a national survey to collect both biographical and project data from women working in the profession. Committee members sent a form letter to women architects describing the archive and its mission, along with both a biographical worksheet and a project worksheet. At this time, Archive committee members also collected information about women who were no longer practicing architects in 1973. From the information gathered for the Archive, a 1977 exhibition and a book, Women in American Architecture: A Historic and Contemporary Perspective, were produced. The Archive of Women in Architecture ceased to collect material after this date.","The guide to the Architectural League of New York: Archive of Women in Architecture Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Processing, arrangement, and description of the Architectural League of New York: Archive of Women in Architecture Records commenced in June 2005 and was completed in July 2005. Minor revisions occurred in June 2006.","Additional material related to the 1977 exhibition and book  Women in American Architecture  is found in another IAWA collection, the  Susana Torre Architectural Collection, Ms1990-016 .","The Architectural League of New York: Archive of Women in Architecture Records consist mainly of copies of the form letters sent out by the Archive in 1973 and completed biographical worksheets, project worksheets, and other materials sent by women in reply to the solicitation. The form letter described the archive and its mission and was accompanied by a biographical worksheet and a project worksheet. The biographical worksheet includes information such as name, date of birth, address, telephone, education, awards, fellowships, grants, registration status, professional affiliations, work experience, areas of special interest and additional pertinent data. The project worksheet includes information such as project title, project category, project description, project data, participation in projects, and a place to list what media was submitted to the archive. Acceptable forms of project media included photos, photocopies, 35mm slides and written material not exceeding 8.5 x 11\" when folded.","The amount of information about each woman architect in this collection varies because the selection of the materials was left to the judgment of the individual who submitted them. Some folders contain only a copy of the form letter from the Archive, while others include articles written by or about women, or photographs or blueprints of projects. If the folder title indicates \"architectural projects,\" material includes an AWA project worksheet with supporting documentation of the projects, such as photos, slides or written information. If the folder title indicates \"architectural drawings,\" the folder includes some form of architectural plans that accompany supporting documentation.","The collection also includes several publications that were donated to the Archive that deal specifically with working women, women in architecture, and architectural trends.

In November 1958 the APVA authorized the organization of the Montgomery County branch for the specific purpose of acquiring and restoring Smithfield Plantation, the historic home near Blacksburg in Montgomery County, Virginia, built by William Preston in 1773. In 1959 Mrs. Janie Preston Brockenbrough Lamb, a descendant of Preston, donated Smithfield and 4.5 acres of land to the APVA. Restoration of the building was begun in 1962 when the APVA's Montgomery County Branch raised the funds for renovation and contracted with architects and contractors. Since its foundation, and in more recent years, the organization has had some changes, including the dissolution of branches and the combination of the Montgomery County Branch with the Smithfield Preston Foundation. In 2009, the name was changed to Preservation Virgina. ","Smithfield Plantation is the historic home of the Preston family, one of the founding families of Blacksburg and Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built by William Preston (1729-1783), who emigrated from northern Ireland with his family in 1737. He married Susanna Smith in 1761 and settled at Greenfield in Botetourt County in 1769. Preston established himself as a leader in the Virginia frontier by serving in the militia in the French and Indian and Revolutionary wars, in the House of Burgesses representing Augusta County from 1766 to 1768 and Botetourt County in 1769, and as County Lieutenant of Fincastle and Montgomery. He was appointed surveyor of Fincastle County in 1772 and moved his family to that area. He built Smithfield, named in honor of his wife, in 1773. Smithfield was the birthplace and home of three Virginia governors, including James Patton Preston (son of William), and John Buchanan Floyd and John Floyd, Jr. (grandsons of William).","George Green Shackelford, a professor of history from 1954 to 1986 (now Emeritus) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, which is adjacent to the Smithfield property, spearheaded the restoration by forming the Montgomery County branch and adopting the project of preserving and restoring the Smithfield residence.","The APVA changed their name to Preservation Virginia in 2009. However, since the mateirals in this collection were created under the previous name, we have retained that for the collection title. Both names have been added to the corporate names associated with this collection.","The guide to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Montgomery County Branch Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","Processing was completed in September 1996, after initial processing in the 1980s.

In 1934, the alumnae of the sorority formed the Association of Women in Architecture (AWA) as an organization for professional women architects. Its first president was H.
