It began in 1865 as a school in the Lockwood House, a private residence, with the support of the Freewill Baptist Home Mission Society of New England under Reverend Nathan Cook Brackett; in 1867 it officially became Storer Normal School, with the mission of training teachers; and in 1938 Storer became a College. The College closed in 1955 due to declining enrollment, financial problems, and the advent of desegregation.","Although there were dedicated teachers in the beginning, by 1867 there were still only 16 instructors to educate 2,500 students. Reverend Brackett realized the only way to reach all of the students was to train African American teachers, thus necessitating the expansion of the school into a teacher college.","The philanthropist John Storer from Maine came forward and offered a $10,000 grant to the Freewill Baptists to create a teacher college under three conditions: first, the school must eventually become a degree-granting college; second, the school had to be open to all applicants, regardless of race or gender; and finally, the most difficult of the prerequisites, the Freewill Baptist Church had to match his $10,000 donation within a year. After a year-long effort the money was raised, and Storer Normal School opened its doors; and by March 1868 it received its state charter.","In the beginning local residents were resistant to a \"colored school\" and tried to shut it down through slander, vandalism, and local politics. One teacher wrote, \"it is unusual for me to go to the Post Office without being hooted at, and twice I have been stoned on the streets at noonday.\" The attitudes of local residents eventually changed, however, so that later in his life Reverend Brackett became a respected citizen of Harpers Ferry.","Though Storer remained primarily a teacher college, in time it began adding courses in higher education to its curriculum so that students could graduate with a normal degree for teaching, or an academic degree for going on to college. In 1938, under the leadership of school president Henry T. McDonald, Storer became a college. Its enrollment peaked at around 400, and then dipped lower during World War II. The College survived until 1955 when declining enrollment, financial stress, and court-ordered desegregation combined to close it.","In addition to its progressive role in educating African Americans, the College became associated with other advocates of civil rights, such as Frederick Douglas, who visited Storer Normal School in 1881 to deliver a speech on John Brown, and the Niagra Movement led by William Du Bois, who held a conference at Storer in 1906. The NAACP was later to adopt many of the goals of the Niagra Movement.","[This historical note was sourced from the West Virginia Encyclopedia and Wikipedia.]","1131, 1168, 1322, 1471, 2621","Records of Storer College, West Virginia's first African American institution of higher learning, located in Harpers Ferry.

It began in 1865 as a school in the Lockwood House, a private residence, with the support of the Freewill Baptist Home Mission Society of New England under Reverend Nathan Cook Brackett; in 1867 it officially became Storer Normal School, with the mission of training teachers; and in 1938 Storer became a College. The College closed in 1955 due to declining enrollment, financial problems, and the advent of desegregation.","Although there were dedicated teachers in the beginning, by 1867 there were still only 16 instructors to educate 2,500 students. Reverend Brackett realized the only way to reach all of the students was to train African American teachers, thus necessitating the expansion of the school into a teacher college.","The philanthropist John Storer from Maine came forward and offered a $10,000 grant to the Freewill Baptists to create a teacher college under three conditions: first, the school must eventually become a degree-granting college; second, the school had to be open to all applicants, regardless of race or gender; and finally, the most difficult of the prerequisites, the Freewill Baptist Church had to match his $10,000 donation within a year. After a year-long effort the money was raised, and Storer Normal School opened its doors; and by March 1868 it received its state charter.","In the beginning local residents were resistant to a \"colored school\" and tried to shut it down through slander, vandalism, and local politics. One teacher wrote, \"it is unusual for me to go to the Post Office without being hooted at, and twice I have been stoned on the streets at noonday.\" The attitudes of local residents eventually changed, however, so that later in his life Reverend Brackett became a respected citizen of Harpers Ferry.","Though Storer remained primarily a teacher college, in time it began adding courses in higher education to its curriculum so that students could graduate with a normal degree for teaching, or an academic degree for going on to college. In 1938, under the leadership of school president Henry T. McDonald, Storer became a college. Its enrollment peaked at around 400, and then dipped lower during World War II. The College survived until 1955 when declining enrollment, financial stress, and court-ordered desegregation combined to close it.","In addition to its progressive role in educating African Americans, the College became associated with other advocates of civil rights, such as Frederick Douglas, who visited Storer Normal School in 1881 to deliver a speech on John Brown, and the Niagra Movement led by William Du Bois, who held a conference at Storer in 1906. The NAACP was later to adopt many of the goals of the Niagra Movement.","[This historical note was sourced from the West Virginia Encyclopedia and Wikipedia.]","1131, 1168, 1322, 1471, 2621","Records of Storer College, West Virginia's first African American institution of higher learning, located in Harpers Ferry.

The mission of the WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was to be a research institution focusing on original research and experiments to develop and improve agriculture and rural life. Specifically, the Experiment Station was engaged in research for soil improvement through improved fertilizers and fertilizer testing. To this end, the West Virginia state legislature passed a fertilizer act in 1891 requiring that samples of fertilizer be sent to the Experiment Station for testing and a Certificate of Inspection tag to be issued specifying the manufacturer, brand name and ingredients. Additionally, there was research for improvements in plant growth and in livestock breeding. The results of the Station's research were made public in the form of bulletins. These early bulletins were met with mixed feelings by farmers, in that they felt  they were too technical and not very practical.","By the turn of twentieth century the Agriculture Experiment Station began taking on a larger statewide footprint. The 1901 West Virginia Crop Pest Law empowered the Experiment Station to take control of eradicating agricultural pests within the state, such as San Jose Scale, through inspection and destruction of infested orchards and crops and the inspection of trees and plants, and other agricultural products entering West Virginia.","Moreover, the role of WVU Agricultural Experiment Station had evolved over time from research to teaching and outreach as well. Consequently, the Station became the foundation for new cooperative extension work created by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Smith-Lever established cooperative extension work at land grant institutions through a partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture. The mission of Smith-Lever was teaching and practical presentations in agriculture and home economics to rural residents. This included home economics, such as nutrition and money management; community development through economic development; and rural development, through community outreach with extension agents located in each county. The Station's new teaching role was important to farmers who could learn new practical cultivation techniques in a non-academic setting.  Smith-Lever's outreach mission ultimately led to the 1913 creation of Farmer's Short Courses, one-to-three-week courses on the best agricultural practices, which were held in Morgantown and around the state.","The WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was engaged in many other activities in the years leading up to World War I. The station sold brooding eggs to farmers to increase poultry production in the state. It promoted the Good Road Movement, a national effort to improve rural roads and improve rural life. The Station also played an important role in securing farm labor for the labor shortage caused by World War I and the millions of American men serving overseas.","John A. Myers served as the first WVU Agricultural Experiment Station director. Before he arrived at WVU, Myers, a chemist, had served at other universities and as the state chemist for Mississippi. He established the WVU Experiment Station in 1888 and oversaw the construction of the experiment station building, completed in 1893. He served as its director for nearly ten years. James H. Stewart replaced Myers in 1897, serving until 1911. Dwight E. Sanderson was the next director, serving from 1911 to 1915.

The mission of the WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was to be a research institution focusing on original research and experiments to develop and improve agriculture and rural life. Specifically, the Experiment Station was engaged in research for soil improvement through improved fertilizers and fertilizer testing. To this end, the West Virginia state legislature passed a fertilizer act in 1891 requiring that samples of fertilizer be sent to the Experiment Station for testing and a Certificate of Inspection tag to be issued specifying the manufacturer, brand name and ingredients. Additionally, there was research for improvements in plant growth and in livestock breeding. The results of the Station's research were made public in the form of bulletins. These early bulletins were met with mixed feelings by farmers, in that they felt  they were too technical and not very practical.","By the turn of twentieth century the Agriculture Experiment Station began taking on a larger statewide footprint. The 1901 West Virginia Crop Pest Law empowered the Experiment Station to take control of eradicating agricultural pests within the state, such as San Jose Scale, through inspection and destruction of infested orchards and crops and the inspection of trees and plants, and other agricultural products entering West Virginia.","Moreover, the role of WVU Agricultural Experiment Station had evolved over time from research to teaching and outreach as well. Consequently, the Station became the foundation for new cooperative extension work created by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Smith-Lever established cooperative extension work at land grant institutions through a partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture. The mission of Smith-Lever was teaching and practical presentations in agriculture and home economics to rural residents. This included home economics, such as nutrition and money management; community development through economic development; and rural development, through community outreach with extension agents located in each county. The Station's new teaching role was important to farmers who could learn new practical cultivation techniques in a non-academic setting.  Smith-Lever's outreach mission ultimately led to the 1913 creation of Farmer's Short Courses, one-to-three-week courses on the best agricultural practices, which were held in Morgantown and around the state.","The WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was engaged in many other activities in the years leading up to World War I. The station sold brooding eggs to farmers to increase poultry production in the state. It promoted the Good Road Movement, a national effort to improve rural roads and improve rural life. The Station also played an important role in securing farm labor for the labor shortage caused by World War I and the millions of American men serving overseas.","John A. Myers served as the first WVU Agricultural Experiment Station director. Before he arrived at WVU, Myers, a chemist, had served at other universities and as the state chemist for Mississippi. He established the WVU Experiment Station in 1888 and oversaw the construction of the experiment station building, completed in 1893. He served as its director for nearly ten years. James H. Stewart replaced Myers in 1897, serving until 1911. Dwight E. Sanderson was the next director, serving from 1911 to 1915. John Lee Coulter was the last station director during this early period, serving from 1915 to 1921. The Agricultural Experiment Station, now the West Virginia University Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is still in existence today in 2025.","Related names include T.C.

Series and subseries have only been imposed where they accurately categorize the initial physical arrangement, allowing for the majority of Lewis's organization to remain intact. The imposed series — 1. Teaching, 2. Research and Scholarly Activity, and 3. Professional Service and Additional Career Materials — were chosen to represent the three main facets of university faculty work. Series 4 is comprised of an addendum received in 2024, and subseries have been imposed based on the existing series structure.","Many of the folder titles within this collection, including in the addendum, were created by Dr. Lewis and incorporated as-is during archival arrangement. He frequently utilized abbreviations and acronyms, especially in reference to academic institutions and professional organizations.","This collection includes a formerly separate WVRHC collection (A\u0026M 3634, Ronald Lewis, Historian, Research Notes Regarding Timber Industry in West Virginia). It has been added to this collection in its entirety at the donor's request, so that his body of work can be represented together.","A professor emeritus of history at West Virginia University, Lewis received his PhD in American History from the University of Akron in 1974.  He focused on regional studies, especially Appalachian history.  His first teaching opportunity was at the University of Delaware as an assistant professor from 1974 to 1985, where he focused primarily on the intersection of race and labor in the United States.  He was then hired in 1985 to teach West Virginian and Appalachian History at West Virginia University.  He earned emeritus status in 2008.  He has authored many books, earned several awards, and was a Fulbright-Hayes Commission Award Recipient.","This collection contains materials of various formats used and created by historian Dr. Ronald Lewis throughout his career. There are records and course materials from classes taught by Dr. Lewis at the University of Delaware and, primarily, at West Virginia University (WVU). It includes other documents relating to his work as a faculty advisor to graduate students in WVU's history department. There is extensive documentation of his research, most of which was done on Appalachian history and West Virginia coal mining, including articles he has written, facsimiles of primary and secondary sources used in his research, and A/V materials like oral histories. Records generated from Dr. Lewis's scholarly activities are included, such as book and article reviews and conference presentations. There are also materials relating to his other professional pursuits, such as his membership in historical organizations and correspondence with other professionals in the field. This collection provides a broad overview of the work of an historian in an academic institution.The dates provided are reflective of material creation, except within the Welsh Miners and Scott's Run subseries. These dates, listed in folder titles, reflect the content and were determined by the donor when he created and titled these files. Please be aware that the dates may not be accurate for every item within the folder/box but rather reflect the general timeframe of the subject matter.Born digital and audiovisual materials exist within the collection as floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and cassettes.Addendum of 2024 May 29 includes similar materials but reflects Dr. Lewis's more recent work. There are materials relating to his work as a professor and faculty member, the development of two books and other publications, and documentation of his career. Common formats include lecture notes, facsimiles of research sources, and correspondence; digital materials exist within the addendum as floppy disks, zip disks, and CDs.","A group of bound dissertations has been separated at the donor's request. They were written from 1990-2009 and focus on West Virginia-related historical subjects. Dr. Lewis served on the dissertaion committee for each. These items were passed on, to be made available in the WVRHC main stacks.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
