The identification of the Hampton Institute as the locale comes from a real photo postcard with the title \"The Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group\" and a newspaper cutout of the Hampton Institute Choir along with the news caption, \"They Keep Spiritual Values High at Hampton.\" It is possible that this album was kept by the grandparent of the young women."],"names_coll_ssim":["Max Rambod","Hampton Institute"],"names_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","Max Rambod","Hampton Institute"],"corpname_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","Max Rambod","Hampton Institute"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":0,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-04-30T22:47:38.025Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_repositories_3_resources_1042"}},{"id":"viu_repositories_3_resources_1081","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"Harold Blote World War I letters","creator":{"id":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_repositories_3_resources_1081#creator","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":"Max Rambod","label":"Creator"}},"abstract_or_scope":{"id":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_repositories_3_resources_1081#abstract_or_scope","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains eighty-five letters and associated documents of Harold \"Hal\" Blote, a volunteer of the American Ambulance Field Service in World War I.
