He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection for governor in 1988. Previously, he was elected as a Republican to five terms in the United States House of Representatives, serving from January 3, 1957-January 3, 1969. He was not a candidate for reelection to the Ninety-first Congress in 1968. He died on January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV.","Arch Moore was born in Moundsville, WV, on April 16, 1923, to Arch Alfred Moore Sr. and Genevieve Elizabeth Jones. He graduated from Moundsville High School and worked in various jobs, including as a timekeeper for the Bechtel Corporation.","In 1943, he was drafted into the military and selected for Officers Training School and the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), which put soldiers into accelerated courses in various disciplines. He was placed at Lafayette College (near Allentown, PA), to study engineering and train as a soldier. Following D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Army terminated the ASTP. Moore was assigned to Company G, 334th Regiment of the 84th Infantry Division and sent to Europe where he served as a combat sergeant. In a battle in November 1944, 33 of his 36-man platoon died, and Sgt. Moore was severely wounded when a bullet ripped through the side of his face. He was transferred to Liege, Belgium, where his face was reconstructed, and he used public speaking as part of his physical therapy. He was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service and was shipped home in March 1946.","Moore enrolled at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV, in June 1946, entering school as a junior with the credits transferred from Lafayette College. He majored in political science and became a well-known figure on campus through involvement with extra-curricular activities. He was a member and president of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, wrote the first WVU student body constitution, and served as student body president. He organized fundraising for the Mountaineer Mascot statue and started Mountaineer Day, which later became Mountaineer Week. After completing his bachelor's degree, Moore enrolled at WVU College of Law.","While at WVU, Moore met Sadie Shelley Riley (known as Shelley), an undergraduate student from Uniontown, PA. In August 1949, Shelley and Arch married. Shelley worked in the film section of WVU Library, and Arch finished his law degree in May 1951. They then moved to Moundsville where Arch practiced law with his uncle Everett Moore, a politician and prominent attorney.","Arch and Shelley had three children together, Arch A. (Kim) Moore III, Shelley Wellons, and Lucy St. Clair. Daughter Shelley would go on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001-2014) and the U.S Senate (2015-present).","In 1952, Moore began his political career when he won his uncle's former seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates. After serving two years, he became the 1954 Republican nominee for the First District congressional seat, but he lost to sitting Congressman Robert Mollohan. In 1956, Mollohan left Congress to run for governor, and Moore won the seat over Democratic candidate C. Lee Spillers in a close race. Moore went on to serve six terms in Congress, 1957-1969, winning as a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state. Moore's district expanded after the 1960 census resulted in eliminating a West Virginia congressional district. Moore defeated Congressman Cleve Bailey to represent the new 13-county district.","In the House of Representatives, Moore served on the Judiciary Committee (1957-1969); the Select Small Business Committee (1957-1969); and the National Republican Congressional Committee (1957-1969) and Committee on Committees (1959-1969). He also served on several subcommittees, including the Immigration and Nationality Subcommittee (1959-1969); the Special Subcommittee on State Taxation and Interstate Commerce (1961-1969); and the Distribution Problems Affecting Small Businesses Subcommittee (1957-1967). Moore also served as the ranking Republican on the Select House Committee to investigate Representative Adam Clayton Powell in 1967.","During his congressional career, he supported civil rights and public works bills and was involved in several significant pieces of legislation. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, he worked on The Criminal Justice Act of 1963, The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964, and The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He made numerous international trips, in particular visiting Vietnam several times during the war. During one such trip in 1966 the helicopter he was riding in was struck by a bullet, disabling the rotors and forcing it to land.","After six terms in Congress, Moore ran for governor of West Virginia and was elected in 1968. He served two consecutive terms (1969-1977) and one nonconsecutive (1985-1989), making him the only person to serve three terms as governor of West Virginia. His tenure was characterized by extensive road building and investments in public education, welfare, and mental health.","Shelley Moore also made impacts as First Lady, championing issues related to mental health, education, and libraries. She opened the Governor's Mansion to public tours and founded the West Virginia Mansion Preservation Foundation in 1985, raising funds to redecorate and preserve the building. She was active in numerous organizations, including the Girl Scouts, the Junior League of Wheeling, the American Red Cross, and the Montgomery (Maryland) County Cerebral Palsy Association. She was the longest serving first lady of West Virginia.","During his first term, Moore made headlines for firing more than 2,000 highway workers who went on strike, and he played a key negotiating role when thousands of miners went on strike over black lung benefits, leading to the disease's designation as a mining disability. In 1970, the Governor's Succession Amendment was ratified to the West Virginia constitution, allowing Moore to be the first governor to succeed himself since the 1870s. In 1972, he ran a heavily publicized election in which he defeated Jay Rockefeller.","As Governor, Arch made significant changes to the welfare and education systems, increasing monthly payments for about 20,000 families with dependent children and beginning payments for thousands of blind, aged, and disabled individuals. He supported legislation to open public kindergartens for five-year-old children, adopting the national trend in West Virginia. In an effort to bring more tourists to the state, he was instrumental in building Charleston's Cultural Center.","With funds from the state Roads Development Amendment, federal support through the Appalachian Regional Commission, and money remaining from the 1964 road bond, Moore was able to undertake one of the state's largest highway expansion projects. By the end of Moore's terms, part or all of Interstates 64, 68, and 79, as well as the West Virginia Turnpike, would be completed. Construction of the New River Gorge Bridge also began, and once finished, it would be at the time the world's longest single-span arch bridge.","Moore's tenure as governor also engendered criticisms and corruption charges. He faced disapproval for abruptly reducing a $100 million settlement with Pittston Coal Company to $1 million for cleanup charges for the 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster. In 1975, Moore and an aide were indicted on charges of extortion but were acquitted. Toward the end of his third term, more corruption charges were filed, and in 1990, Moore was found guilty of federal charges of mail fraud, tax fraud, extortion, and obstruction of justice. He served three years of a five-year prison term and was released in 1993. Though he pled guilty, he later maintained his innocence.","Arch Moore died January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV, at the age of 91.","Sources:","Crouser, Brad. Arch: The Life of Governor Arch A.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection for governor in 1988. Previously, he was elected as a Republican to five terms in the United States House of Representatives, serving from January 3, 1957-January 3, 1969. He was not a candidate for reelection to the Ninety-first Congress in 1968. He died on January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV.","Arch Moore was born in Moundsville, WV, on April 16, 1923, to Arch Alfred Moore Sr. and Genevieve Elizabeth Jones. He graduated from Moundsville High School and worked in various jobs, including as a timekeeper for the Bechtel Corporation.","In 1943, he was drafted into the military and selected for Officers Training School and the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), which put soldiers into accelerated courses in various disciplines. He was placed at Lafayette College (near Allentown, PA), to study engineering and train as a soldier. Following D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Army terminated the ASTP. Moore was assigned to Company G, 334th Regiment of the 84th Infantry Division and sent to Europe where he served as a combat sergeant. In a battle in November 1944, 33 of his 36-man platoon died, and Sgt. Moore was severely wounded when a bullet ripped through the side of his face. He was transferred to Liege, Belgium, where his face was reconstructed, and he used public speaking as part of his physical therapy. He was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service and was shipped home in March 1946.","Moore enrolled at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV, in June 1946, entering school as a junior with the credits transferred from Lafayette College. He majored in political science and became a well-known figure on campus through involvement with extra-curricular activities. He was a member and president of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, wrote the first WVU student body constitution, and served as student body president. He organized fundraising for the Mountaineer Mascot statue and started Mountaineer Day, which later became Mountaineer Week. After completing his bachelor's degree, Moore enrolled at WVU College of Law.","While at WVU, Moore met Sadie Shelley Riley (known as Shelley), an undergraduate student from Uniontown, PA. In August 1949, Shelley and Arch married. Shelley worked in the film section of WVU Library, and Arch finished his law degree in May 1951. They then moved to Moundsville where Arch practiced law with his uncle Everett Moore, a politician and prominent attorney.","Arch and Shelley had three children together, Arch A. (Kim) Moore III, Shelley Wellons, and Lucy St. Clair. Daughter Shelley would go on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001-2014) and the U.S Senate (2015-present).","In 1952, Moore began his political career when he won his uncle's former seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates. After serving two years, he became the 1954 Republican nominee for the First District congressional seat, but he lost to sitting Congressman Robert Mollohan. In 1956, Mollohan left Congress to run for governor, and Moore won the seat over Democratic candidate C. Lee Spillers in a close race. Moore went on to serve six terms in Congress, 1957-1969, winning as a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state. Moore's district expanded after the 1960 census resulted in eliminating a West Virginia congressional district. Moore defeated Congressman Cleve Bailey to represent the new 13-county district.","In the House of Representatives, Moore served on the Judiciary Committee (1957-1969); the Select Small Business Committee (1957-1969); and the National Republican Congressional Committee (1957-1969) and Committee on Committees (1959-1969). He also served on several subcommittees, including the Immigration and Nationality Subcommittee (1959-1969); the Special Subcommittee on State Taxation and Interstate Commerce (1961-1969); and the Distribution Problems Affecting Small Businesses Subcommittee (1957-1967). Moore also served as the ranking Republican on the Select House Committee to investigate Representative Adam Clayton Powell in 1967.","During his congressional career, he supported civil rights and public works bills and was involved in several significant pieces of legislation. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, he worked on The Criminal Justice Act of 1963, The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964, and The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He made numerous international trips, in particular visiting Vietnam several times during the war. During one such trip in 1966 the helicopter he was riding in was struck by a bullet, disabling the rotors and forcing it to land.","After six terms in Congress, Moore ran for governor of West Virginia and was elected in 1968. He served two consecutive terms (1969-1977) and one nonconsecutive (1985-1989), making him the only person to serve three terms as governor of West Virginia.

Permission to access certain unprocessed materials may be given at the curator's discretion. Researchers collecting summary data may submit an Access Request Form.","The papers are arranged into three subgroups - Congressional papers, Gubernatorial papers, and Personal papers - , and each subgroup is further arranged into series.","Arch Alfred Moore Jr. served three terms as Governor of West Virginia (1969-1977, 1985-1989). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection for governor in 1988. Previously, he was elected as a Republican to five terms in the United States House of Representatives, serving from January 3, 1957-January 3, 1969. He was not a candidate for reelection to the Ninety-first Congress in 1968. He died on January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV.","Arch Moore was born in Moundsville, WV, on April 16, 1923, to Arch Alfred Moore Sr. and Genevieve Elizabeth Jones. He graduated from Moundsville High School and worked in various jobs, including as a timekeeper for the Bechtel Corporation.","In 1943, he was drafted into the military and selected for Officers Training School and the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), which put soldiers into accelerated courses in various disciplines. He was placed at Lafayette College (near Allentown, PA), to study engineering and train as a soldier. Following D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Army terminated the ASTP. Moore was assigned to Company G, 334th Regiment of the 84th Infantry Division and sent to Europe where he served as a combat sergeant. In a battle in November 1944, 33 of his 36-man platoon died, and Sgt. Moore was severely wounded when a bullet ripped through the side of his face. He was transferred to Liege, Belgium, where his face was reconstructed, and he used public speaking as part of his physical therapy. He was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service and was shipped home in March 1946.","Moore enrolled at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV, in June 1946, entering school as a junior with the credits transferred from Lafayette College. He majored in political science and became a well-known figure on campus through involvement with extra-curricular activities. He was a member and president of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, wrote the first WVU student body constitution, and served as student body president. He organized fundraising for the Mountaineer Mascot statue and started Mountaineer Day, which later became Mountaineer Week. After completing his bachelor's degree, Moore enrolled at WVU College of Law.","While at WVU, Moore met Sadie Shelley Riley (known as Shelley), an undergraduate student from Uniontown, PA. In August 1949, Shelley and Arch married. Shelley worked in the film section of WVU Library, and Arch finished his law degree in May 1951. They then moved to Moundsville where Arch practiced law with his uncle Everett Moore, a politician and prominent attorney.","Arch and Shelley had three children together, Arch A. (Kim) Moore III, Shelley Wellons, and Lucy St. Clair. Daughter Shelley would go on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001-2014) and the U.S Senate (2015-present).","In 1952, Moore began his political career when he won his uncle's former seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates. After serving two years, he became the 1954 Republican nominee for the First District congressional seat, but he lost to sitting Congressman Robert Mollohan. In 1956, Mollohan left Congress to run for governor, and Moore won the seat over Democratic candidate C. Lee Spillers in a close race. Moore went on to serve six terms in Congress, 1957-1969, winning as a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state. Moore's district expanded after the 1960 census resulted in eliminating a West Virginia congressional district. Moore defeated Congressman Cleve Bailey to represent the new 13-county district.","In the House of Representatives, Moore served on the Judiciary Committee (1957-1969); the Select Small Business Committee (1957-1969); and the National Republican Congressional Committee (1957-1969) and Committee on Committees (1959-1969). He also served on several subcommittees, including the Immigration and Nationality Subcommittee (1959-1969); the Special Subcommittee on State Taxation and Interstate Commerce (1961-1969); and the Distribution Problems Affecting Small Businesses Subcommittee (1957-1967). Moore also served as the ranking Republican on the Select House Committee to investigate Representative Adam Clayton Powell in 1967.","During his congressional career, he supported civil rights and public works bills and was involved in several significant pieces of legislation. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, he worked on The Criminal Justice Act of 1963, The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964, and The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He made numerous international trips, in particular visiting Vietnam several times during the war. During one such trip in 1966 the helicopter he was riding in was struck by a bullet, disabling the rotors and forcing it to land.","After six terms in Congress, Moore ran for governor of West Virginia and was elected in 1968. He served two consecutive terms (1969-1977) and one nonconsecutive (1985-1989), making him the only person to serve three terms as governor of West Virginia. His tenure was characterized by extensive road building and investments in public education, welfare, and mental health.","Shelley Moore also made impacts as First Lady, championing issues related to mental health, education, and libraries. She opened the Governor's Mansion to public tours and founded the West Virginia Mansion Preservation Foundation in 1985, raising funds to redecorate and preserve the building. She was active in numerous organizations, including the Girl Scouts, the Junior League of Wheeling, the American Red Cross, and the Montgomery (Maryland) County Cerebral Palsy Association. She was the longest serving first lady of West Virginia.","During his first term, Moore made headlines for firing more than 2,000 highway workers who went on strike, and he played a key negotiating role when thousands of miners went on strike over black lung benefits, leading to the disease's designation as a mining disability. In 1970, the Governor's Succession Amendment was ratified to the West Virginia constitution, allowing Moore to be the first governor to succeed himself since the 1870s. In 1972, he ran a heavily publicized election in which he defeated Jay Rockefeller.","As Governor, Arch made significant changes to the welfare and education systems, increasing monthly payments for about 20,000 families with dependent children and beginning payments for thousands of blind, aged, and disabled individuals. He supported legislation to open public kindergartens for five-year-old children, adopting the national trend in West Virginia. In an effort to bring more tourists to the state, he was instrumental in building Charleston's Cultural Center.","With funds from the state Roads Development Amendment, federal support through the Appalachian Regional Commission, and money remaining from the 1964 road bond, Moore was able to undertake one of the state's largest highway expansion projects. By the end of Moore's terms, part or all of Interstates 64, 68, and 79, as well as the West Virginia Turnpike, would be completed. Construction of the New River Gorge Bridge also began, and once finished, it would be at the time the world's longest single-span arch bridge.","Moore's tenure as governor also engendered criticisms and corruption charges. He faced disapproval for abruptly reducing a $100 million settlement with Pittston Coal Company to $1 million for cleanup charges for the 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster. In 1975, Moore and an aide were indicted on charges of extortion but were acquitted. Toward the end of his third term, more corruption charges were filed, and in 1990, Moore was found guilty of federal charges of mail fraud, tax fraud, extortion, and obstruction of justice. He served three years of a five-year prison term and was released in 1993. Though he pled guilty, he later maintained his innocence.","Arch Moore died January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV, at the age of 91.","Sources:","Crouser, Brad. Arch: The Life of Governor Arch A.

He majored in political science and became a well-known figure on campus through involvement with extra-curricular activities. He was a member and president of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, wrote the first WVU student body constitution, and served as student body president. He organized fundraising for the Mountaineer Mascot statue and started Mountaineer Day, which later became Mountaineer Week. After completing his bachelor's degree, Moore enrolled at WVU College of Law.","While at WVU, Moore met Sadie Shelley Riley (known as Shelley), an undergraduate student from Uniontown, PA. In August 1949, Shelley and Arch married. Shelley worked in the film section of WVU Library, and Arch finished his law degree in May 1951. They then moved to Moundsville where Arch practiced law with his uncle Everett Moore, a politician and prominent attorney.","Arch and Shelley had three children together, Arch A. (Kim) Moore III, Shelley Wellons, and Lucy St. Clair. Daughter Shelley would go on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001-2014) and the U.S Senate (2015-present).","In 1952, Moore began his political career when he won his uncle's former seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates. After serving two years, he became the 1954 Republican nominee for the First District congressional seat, but he lost to sitting Congressman Robert Mollohan. In 1956, Mollohan left Congress to run for governor, and Moore won the seat over Democratic candidate C. Lee Spillers in a close race. Moore went on to serve six terms in Congress, 1957-1969, winning as a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state. Moore's district expanded after the 1960 census resulted in eliminating a West Virginia congressional district. Moore defeated Congressman Cleve Bailey to represent the new 13-county district.","In the House of Representatives, Moore served on the Judiciary Committee (1957-1969); the Select Small Business Committee (1957-1969); and the National Republican Congressional Committee (1957-1969) and Committee on Committees (1959-1969). He also served on several subcommittees, including the Immigration and Nationality Subcommittee (1959-1969); the Special Subcommittee on State Taxation and Interstate Commerce (1961-1969); and the Distribution Problems Affecting Small Businesses Subcommittee (1957-1967). Moore also served as the ranking Republican on the Select House Committee to investigate Representative Adam Clayton Powell in 1967.","During his congressional career, he supported civil rights and public works bills and was involved in several significant pieces of legislation. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, he worked on The Criminal Justice Act of 1963, The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964, and The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. He made numerous international trips, in particular visiting Vietnam several times during the war. During one such trip in 1966 the helicopter he was riding in was struck by a bullet, disabling the rotors and forcing it to land.","After six terms in Congress, Moore ran for governor of West Virginia and was elected in 1968. He served two consecutive terms (1969-1977) and one nonconsecutive (1985-1989), making him the only person to serve three terms as governor of West Virginia. His tenure was characterized by extensive road building and investments in public education, welfare, and mental health.","Shelley Moore also made impacts as First Lady, championing issues related to mental health, education, and libraries. She opened the Governor's Mansion to public tours and founded the West Virginia Mansion Preservation Foundation in 1985, raising funds to redecorate and preserve the building. She was active in numerous organizations, including the Girl Scouts, the Junior League of Wheeling, the American Red Cross, and the Montgomery (Maryland) County Cerebral Palsy Association. She was the longest serving first lady of West Virginia.","During his first term, Moore made headlines for firing more than 2,000 highway workers who went on strike, and he played a key negotiating role when thousands of miners went on strike over black lung benefits, leading to the disease's designation as a mining disability. In 1970, the Governor's Succession Amendment was ratified to the West Virginia constitution, allowing Moore to be the first governor to succeed himself since the 1870s. In 1972, he ran a heavily publicized election in which he defeated Jay Rockefeller.","As Governor, Arch made significant changes to the welfare and education systems, increasing monthly payments for about 20,000 families with dependent children and beginning payments for thousands of blind, aged, and disabled individuals. He supported legislation to open public kindergartens for five-year-old children, adopting the national trend in West Virginia. In an effort to bring more tourists to the state, he was instrumental in building Charleston's Cultural Center.","With funds from the state Roads Development Amendment, federal support through the Appalachian Regional Commission, and money remaining from the 1964 road bond, Moore was able to undertake one of the state's largest highway expansion projects. By the end of Moore's terms, part or all of Interstates 64, 68, and 79, as well as the West Virginia Turnpike, would be completed. Construction of the New River Gorge Bridge also began, and once finished, it would be at the time the world's longest single-span arch bridge.","Moore's tenure as governor also engendered criticisms and corruption charges. He faced disapproval for abruptly reducing a $100 million settlement with Pittston Coal Company to $1 million for cleanup charges for the 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster. In 1975, Moore and an aide were indicted on charges of extortion but were acquitted. Toward the end of his third term, more corruption charges were filed, and in 1990, Moore was found guilty of federal charges of mail fraud, tax fraud, extortion, and obstruction of justice. He served three years of a five-year prison term and was released in 1993. Though he pled guilty, he later maintained his innocence.","Arch Moore died January 7, 2015, in Charleston, WV, at the age of 91.","Sources:","Crouser, Brad. Arch: The Life of Governor Arch A.

A few years later, she became Assistant to the General Counsel of the Federal Workers Agency, as political liaison with Capitol Hill, a position she held until she enlisted in the Armed Services (the WACS)  during World War II. She earned a pilot's license in 1945 at the Milton Airport in Shadwell. She was member of the official Sign Ordinance Committee that seek to develop guidelines to protect Albermarle County's scenic places. She was a member of the Democratic party and served on the County Electoral Board from 1973-1979.","She was active in politics beginning in 1952 \"Rising through various posts to be one of the three Albermarle County Electoral Board members.\" After her graduation as the sole woman of her law class, she was one of the first women to practice law on Charlottesville Court Square, and was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Charlottesville-Albermarle Bar Association fifteen times. Nash served as Scottsville's representative on the Albermarle Board of Supervisors from 1980-1984.  \"She would say things that were so frank and so correct, they would turn the head of her five fellow supervisors. In addition to her frankness, politics to her really was people.\"  (Daily Progress, June 29, 1995)","Ellen V. Nash  was an active member of the Charlottesville-Albermarle community.  She was member of the Albermarle County Historical Society and the local SPCA, where she served as president when they were constructing the animal shelter and their offices. She was president of the Levy Opera House/Town Hall Foundation (1977), [Nash, Box 18], board member of the Southside Health Center in Esmont, chairman of the Scottsville Democratic Committee and Supervisor for the Scottsville District since 1980 (Daily Progress Aug. 17, 1979) and president of the Charlottesville-Albermarle Civic League.","Nash died at age 85 at her home in Kenwood on June 28, 1995."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThese papers document Ellen V.

CWGS finds its origins in an informal Caucus for Women's Concerns formed in 1972 within West Viginia University (WVU) to \"achieve equitable treatment of women.\" In 1977, the Caucus submitted recommendations to then-WVU President Gene Budig regarding the establishment of a women's studies program and an advisory council on women's concerns. In response to these recommendations, the Caucus was officially accepted by the university as the Council for Women's Concerns (CWC), which included a Women's Studies Subcommittee formed to research and help facilitate a formal women's studies program.","The first proposal for a women's studies program was submitted to the CWC by Renata Pore in 1978, upon which a search committee headed by Dr. Enid Portnoy of the English Department was established. In 1980, the Women's Studies Program (WSP) was officially established as an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Judith Stitzel, a founding member of the CWC, was selected to serve as the first part-time coordinator of the WSP.","Under Stitzel's direction, the WSP developed an undergraduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies to be first offered in 1984. Simultaneously, the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) was established in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research to provide a collective space for students to gather. Judith Stitzel was made the founding director of the center, a position she would hold until 1992, making her the longest consecutive director of the center. The CWS would become affiliated with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.","The first undergraduate Certificates in Women's Studies at WVU were awarded to six students in 1986, the same year the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) graduated in Women's Studies. The Carrie Koeteurius Scholarship, which is still offered as of 2024, was first awarded to Deborah Gregory Eck and Lilo Ast in 1987.","One of the early major projects of the CWC, the Women's Centenary, \"Excellence Through Equity\" began planning in 1987 with Dr. Lillian Waugh being chosen as the research coordinator. After several years of planning and research, the Women's Centenary commenced in September 1989 on the 100-year anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to WVU as degree candidates. Events were held over a two-year period, including lecture series, galas, building rededications, historical tours, exhibits, time capsule creations, and county-wide engagements. The Women's Centenary culminated with a convocation in 1991 on the 100-year anniversary of the first woman to graduate from WVU, Harriet Lyon.","In 1992, Judith Stitzel stepped down as director of the CWC, and the position was taken up by Helen Bannan from 1994 to 1998. Under Barbara Howe's directorship from 1998 to 2007, a BA and undergraduate minor in women's studies was established to coexist with the Certificate in Women's Studies. The first WVU women's studies major, Jamie Lynn Baxter, graduated in December 2003.","Janice Spleth served as interim director between 2008 and 2009, before Ann Oberhauser took directorship in 2009. Under her leadership in 2012, the CWC was renamed the Center for Women's and Gender Studies to incorporate a larger scale of classes and topics. After Oberhauser stepped down in 2013, Jennifer Orlikoff took directorship until 2016. Between 2016 and 2019, Cari Carpenter and Kasi Jackson served as interim directors, during which the LGBTQ+ Center was opened.

CWGS finds its origins in an informal Caucus for Women's Concerns formed in 1972 within West Viginia University (WVU) to \"achieve equitable treatment of women.\" In 1977, the Caucus submitted recommendations to then-WVU President Gene Budig regarding the establishment of a women's studies program and an advisory council on women's concerns. In response to these recommendations, the Caucus was officially accepted by the university as the Council for Women's Concerns (CWC), which included a Women's Studies Subcommittee formed to research and help facilitate a formal women's studies program.","The first proposal for a women's studies program was submitted to the CWC by Renata Pore in 1978, upon which a search committee headed by Dr. Enid Portnoy of the English Department was established. In 1980, the Women's Studies Program (WSP) was officially established as an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Judith Stitzel, a founding member of the CWC, was selected to serve as the first part-time coordinator of the WSP.","Under Stitzel's direction, the WSP developed an undergraduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies to be first offered in 1984. Simultaneously, the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) was established in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research to provide a collective space for students to gather. Judith Stitzel was made the founding director of the center, a position she would hold until 1992, making her the longest consecutive director of the center. The CWS would become affiliated with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.","The first undergraduate Certificates in Women's Studies at WVU were awarded to six students in 1986, the same year the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) graduated in Women's Studies. The Carrie Koeteurius Scholarship, which is still offered as of 2024, was first awarded to Deborah Gregory Eck and Lilo Ast in 1987.","One of the early major projects of the CWC, the Women's Centenary, \"Excellence Through Equity\" began planning in 1987 with Dr. Lillian Waugh being chosen as the research coordinator. After several years of planning and research, the Women's Centenary commenced in September 1989 on the 100-year anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to WVU as degree candidates. Events were held over a two-year period, including lecture series, galas, building rededications, historical tours, exhibits, time capsule creations, and county-wide engagements. The Women's Centenary culminated with a convocation in 1991 on the 100-year anniversary of the first woman to graduate from WVU, Harriet Lyon.","In 1992, Judith Stitzel stepped down as director of the CWC, and the position was taken up by Helen Bannan from 1994 to 1998. Under Barbara Howe's directorship from 1998 to 2007, a BA and undergraduate minor in women's studies was established to coexist with the Certificate in Women's Studies. The first WVU women's studies major, Jamie Lynn Baxter, graduated in December 2003.","Janice Spleth served as interim director between 2008 and 2009, before Ann Oberhauser took directorship in 2009.

She married Thomas E. Sheppard in 1928 and lived in Georgia and Arizona before moving to Richmond in 1936. Mrs. Sheppard began her political career through her activities with the Ginter Park PTA. In 1954, when she was president of the Richmond Federation of PTAs and a member of the Council of Women's Organizations, she ran for City Council. She served on the Richmond City Council from 1954 until 1968. During her tenure on council she became Richmond's first woman vice mayor (1960-1962) and later mayor (1962-1964). She left Council in 1968 to run for the Virginia House of Delegates, where she represented Richmond until March 1977. Mrs. Sheppard became the first chairwoman of a Virginia General Assembly committee in 1974 when she assumed the leadership of the House Education Committee. She also served on the Finance and Health, Welfare and Institutions committees. Mrs. Sheppard was honored by numerous groups toward the end of her active career for her many contributions to the community. She died 14 March 1991 after a long illness.","The collection covers Mrs. Sheppard's civic and political career from the mid 1950s until 1978. The issues covered include education, city planning and development and various bills proposed in the General Assembly. Materials include correspondence, reports, speeches, campaign documents, statements, photographs, publications and a vast quantity of newspaper clippings (to be indexed). Photographs have been transferred to RG 60, Box . The collection was very disorganized when received and the order described below was established by the library. The collection originally contained a vast number of name tags, buttons, business cards and souvenirs.

Atkins was born February 18, 1916 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. He earned a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Alabama in 1938, and accepted a position with the Birmingham Post as a staff photographer. Within two years he became chief photographer for the Scripps Howard-owned paper. In 1940, he joined the Washington Daily News where he remained until 1942 and the outbreak of World War II. During the war, he served as a correspondent and photographer for the American Red Cross covering the African campaign, the invasions of Sicily, southern Italy, southern France, and Germany. After the war, Atkins joined the staff of the Saturday Evening Post. As the Washington correspondent for the Post, he photographed many important leaders of the United States and the world. Among them were Harry S Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchill, Gamel Nasser, Nikita Kruschev, Josip B. Tito, and Jawaharlal Nehru. He was the Post's Far East correspondent in 1951, and also enjoyed a personal and working relationship with the magazine's famous illustrator, Norman Rockwell.","In 1969, Atkins became the personal photographer of President Richard M. Nixon and chief White House photographer. Of his many images of Nixon, the series documenting the meeting of December 18, 1970 with Elvis Presley is the most famous and the most requested. After Nixon's resignation in 1974, Atkins became vice president of Curtis Publishing Company of Indianapolis and remained there until his death in 1977. Ollie Atkins's awards include the White House News Photographers' Association Grand Award, the Graflex All American Photo Contest Portrait Award, and the National Press Photographers' Association Personalities Award. Books by Ollie Atkins include Camera on Assignment (co-written with Charles Baptie, 1957), and The White House Years: Triumph and Tragedy (1977). He also contributed to William Safire's Eye on Nixon (1972).","The Atkins collection consists of approximately 60,000 images that extensively document American political and cultural history from the 1940s through the 1970s. Most of the images that document American political life date from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s when Atkins worked as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post and then later as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The bulk of the American cultural documentation is from Atkins' work in the 1950s and early 1960s on specific stories for the Saturday Evening Post, and these stories cover other areas of the United States, particularly the Southeast up through the Northeast coast. There are also a number of international sets of images from Korea, Africa, and India. The collection consists largely of 8x10\" and l3x10\" color and black and white prints and 35mm and 4x5\" black and white negatives. There are also a number of slides, contact sheets, and oversize matted prints. The collection also includes some correspondence and other documentation on Atkins' work and travel abroad.","Series 1 contains almost all of the prints in the collection. The prints document Atkins' positions as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post and the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. Many of the negatives of the prints in the first subseries can be found in Series 2 and 3. Subseries 1.1 consists largely of prints from Atkins work as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post in Washington, D.C. There are also photographs from Saturday Evening Post stories that Atkins contributed to and those folders are labeled with the title of the article. The scope notes provide additional information about the subjects of the photographs and the locations when the folder titles are not descriptive enough. Subseries 1.2 consists of 8x10\" prints from Atkins' work as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The images document life in the White House, press conferences, visiting foreign leaders, presidential visits abroad, vacations, and Nixon's final days in office following his resignation. There are also numerous photographs of the Nixon's wife, Pat, and his daughters, Julie and Tricia. Most of the photographs are in color. Subseries 1.3 consists of both 8x10\" and 11x14\" prints arranged chronologically from Atkins' work as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The prints cover much of the same subject matter as in subseries 1.2 and in some cases are duplicates. Most of the prints are black and white.","Series 2 contains 4x5\" negatives created during Atkins's tenure as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post, and most of the photographs are grouped together by story title. Some of the prints made from the negatives can be found in Subseries 1.1. Subjects include American political figures, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Alben W. Barkley, George Marshall, and Tom Connally; Washington, D.C., sites, such as the White House, the Library of Congress, and Howard University; and religious leaders, such as Ezra Taft Benson and Prophet Jones.  Other subjects include American businessmen, military figures, and average citizens. Folder numbers refer to numbered \"packets\" containing multiple negatives of the same subject. Box 58 contains negatives other than 4x5\" that could not be housed in the same containers. Some of these negatives are from the same stories and have the same packet numbering. Detailed caption descriptions for these packets can be found in Series 4.","Series 3 contains 35mm negatives, 4x5\" negatives, contact sheets, and slides that Atkins created while he worked for the Saturday Evening Post in the 1950s and 1960s as well as some images from work he did during World War II.  Prints from these images can be found in Series 1, and there are some copies of negatives that are in Series 4. Subseries 3.1 is arranged in chronological order and appears to be largely from Atkins' Washington File, a collection of images he maintained from various assignments. Subjects photographed during the early 1960s include the President John F. Kennedy and his cabinet, including Robert F. Kennedy; Jacqueline Kennedy; astronauts such as John Glenn and Alan Shepard; Senators and Representatives; protests and demonstrations such as the \"March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom\", with Martin Luther King, Jr.; and John F. Kennedy's inauguration and funeral. Subjects photographed during the mid-to-late 1960s include President Lyndon B. Johnson and his cabinet, including Robert S. McNamara and Dean Rusk; Nelson A. Rockefeller; Ladybird Johnson; Senators and Representatives; Malcolm X; the signing of the Civil Rights Bill with Martin Luther King, Jr.; astronauts Gus Grissom, John Young, and John Glenn; and protests and demonstrations, including the \"Poor People's Campaign\", with Jesse Jackson, Ralph Abernathy, and Coretta Scott King. Subseries 3.2 is arranged in alphabetical order.  Subjects include Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, along with their cabinet members and families.  Other political figures or events include United States Senators and Congressmen, such as Barry Goldwater, J. William Fulbright, and Margaret Chase Smith, and the Democratic and Republican National Conventions from 1956-1968.  Other subjects include the Korean War and other overseas locales such as Africa, Cuba, India, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia; Washington, D.C., landmarks include the U.S. Capitol Building, the U.S. Supreme Court Building, the State Department Building, and the White House.  As in Subseries 1.1 and Series 2, multiple folder titles are based on Saturday Evening Post story titles.","Series 4 contains correspondence, awards, press travel packets, copies of images for exhibits and reference use, and a photograph assignment on the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.  Of particular interest in the correspondence are letters between Atkins and the Saturday Evening Post about his work and other matters. Note that there is also correspondence and notes throughout the folders in the Series 3. The press packets document Nixon's travel abroad during his presidency and can be used in conjunction with the Nixon subject prints in Series 1. There are also publications that feature photographs by Atkins.","Series 5 contains mat photographs that span Atkins entire career from World War II to the White House.  Subjects include World War II in Europe, the Korean War, and scenes from Africa, India, and the Middle East.  Also pictured are American political figures such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon.  Other subjects include protests on the National Mall, landmarks in Washington, D.C., and New York City, coal miners, and Fidel Castro.","The Atkins collection consists of approximately 60,000 images that extensively document American political and cultural history from the 1940s through the 1970s.

The bulk of the American cultural documentation is from Atkins' work in the 1950s and early 1960s on specific stories for the Saturday Evening Post, and these stories cover other areas of the United States, particularly the Southeast up through the Northeast coast. There are also a number of international sets of images from Korea, Africa, and India.

Atkins was born February 18, 1916 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. He earned a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Alabama in 1938, and accepted a position with the Birmingham Post as a staff photographer. Within two years he became chief photographer for the Scripps Howard-owned paper. In 1940, he joined the Washington Daily News where he remained until 1942 and the outbreak of World War II. During the war, he served as a correspondent and photographer for the American Red Cross covering the African campaign, the invasions of Sicily, southern Italy, southern France, and Germany. After the war, Atkins joined the staff of the Saturday Evening Post. As the Washington correspondent for the Post, he photographed many important leaders of the United States and the world. Among them were Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchill, Gamel Nasser, Nikita Kruschev, Josip B. Tito, and Jawaharlal Nehru. He was the Post's Far East correspondent in 1951, and also enjoyed a personal and working relationship with the magazine's famous illustrator, Norman Rockwell.","In 1969, Atkins became the personal photographer of President Richard M. Nixon and chief White House photographer. Of his many images of Nixon, the series documenting the meeting of December 18, 1970 with Elvis Presley is the most famous and the most requested. After Nixon's resignation in 1974, Atkins became vice president of Curtis Publishing Company of Indianapolis and remained there until his death in 1977. Atkins' awards include the White House News Photographers' Association Grand Award, the Graflex All American Photo Contest Portrait Award, and the National Press Photographers' Association Personalities Award. Books by Atkins include Camera on Assignment (co-written with Charles Baptie, 1957), and The White House Years: Triumph and Tragedy (1977). He also contributed to William Safire's Eye on Nixon (1972).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff. Additional processing by Jordan Patty, Gary Smith, and Shira Loev in 2010-2011. EAD markup completed by Jordan Patty and Shira Loev in 2011. Finding aid updated by Amanda Menjivar in August 2024.","While reprocessing the collection, staff attempted to retain much of the same organization and arrangement as possible since the Atkins collection has been heavily used by researchers over the past several decades. However, it was necessary to update some of the folder titles for clarity and also merge some of the folders that contained similar subject matter. Many of the folders in Series 3 still contain acid-free paper with numbering that matches the old arrangement.","This collection was reprocessed in 2010-2011 using funds from a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) Detailed Processing Grant.","The Special Collections Research Center holds many other photograph collections.","The National Archives and Records Administration holds the negatives and contact sheets of the images contained in Subseries 1.2 and 1.3. It also holds the .","Content Warning: Some materials contain racist language and slurs.","The Atkins collection consists of approximately 60,000 images that extensively document American political and cultural history from the 1940s through the 1970s. Most of the images that document American political life date from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s when Atkins worked as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post and then later as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The bulk of the American cultural documentation is from Atkins' work in the 1950s and early 1960s on specific stories for the Saturday Evening Post, and these stories cover other areas of the United States, particularly the Southeast up through the Northeast coast. There are also a number of international sets of images from Korea, Africa, and India. The collection consists largely of 8x10\" and l3x10\" color and black and white prints and 35mm and 4x5\" black and white negatives. There are also a number of slides, contact sheets, and oversize matted prints. The collection also includes some correspondence and other documentation on Atkins' work and travel abroad.","Series 1 contains almost all of the prints in the collection. The prints document Atkins' positions as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post and the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. Many of the negatives of the prints in the first subseries can be found in Series 2 and 3. Subseries 1.1 consists largely of prints from Atkins work as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post in Washington, D.C. There are also photographs from Saturday Evening Post stories that Atkins contributed to and those folders are labeled with the title of the article. The scope notes provide additional information about the subjects of the photographs and the locations when the folder titles are not descriptive enough. Subseries 1.2 consists of 8x10\" prints from Atkins' work as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The images document life in the White House, press conferences, visiting foreign leaders, presidential visits abroad, vacations, and Nixon's final days in office following his resignation. There are also numerous photographs of the Nixon's wife, Pat, and his daughters, Julie and Tricia. Most of the photographs are in color. Subseries 1.3 consists of both 8x10\" and 11x14\" prints arranged chronologically from Atkins' work as the personal photographer to President Richard M. Nixon. The prints cover much of the same subject matter as in subseries 1.2 and in some cases are duplicates. Most of the prints are black and white.","Series 2 contains 4x5\" negatives created during Atkins's tenure as a photographer for the Saturday Evening Post, and most of the photographs are grouped together by story title. Some of the prints made from the negatives can be found in Subseries 1.1. Subjects include American political figures, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Alben W. Barkley, George Marshall, and Tom Connally; Washington, D.C., sites, such as the White House, the Library of Congress, and Howard University; and religious leaders, such as Ezra Taft Benson and Prophet Jones. Other subjects include American businessmen, military figures, and average citizens. Folder numbers refer to numbered \"packets\" containing multiple negatives of the same subject. Box 58 contains negatives other than 4x5\" that could not be housed in the same containers. Some of these negatives are from the same stories and have the same packet numbering. Detailed caption descriptions for these packets can be found in Series 4.","Series 3 contains 35mm negatives, 4x5\" negatives, contact sheets, and slides that Atkins created while he worked for the Saturday Evening Post in the 1950s and 1960s as well as some images from work he did during World War II. Prints from these images can be found in Series 1, and there are some copies of negatives that are in Series 4. Subseries 3.1 is arranged in chronological order and appears to be largely from Atkins' Washington File, a collection of images he maintained from various assignments. Subjects photographed during the early 1960s include the President John F. Kennedy and his cabinet, including Robert F. Kennedy; Jacqueline Kennedy; astronauts such as John Glenn and Alan Shepard; Senators and Representatives; protests and demonstrations such as the \"March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom\", with Martin Luther King, Jr.; and John F. Kennedy's inauguration and funeral. Subjects photographed during the mid-to-late 1960s include President Lyndon B. Johnson and his cabinet, including Robert S. McNamara and Dean Rusk; Nelson A. Rockefeller; Ladybird Johnson; Senators and Representatives; Malcolm X; the signing of the Civil Rights Bill with Martin Luther King, Jr.; astronauts Gus Grissom, John Young, and John Glenn; and protests and demonstrations, including the \"Poor People's Campaign\", with Jesse Jackson, Ralph Abernathy, and Coretta Scott King. Subseries 3.2 is arranged in alphabetical order. Subjects include Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, along with their cabinet members and families. Other political figures or events include United States Senators and Congressmen, such as Barry Goldwater, J. William Fulbright, and Margaret Chase Smith, and the Democratic and Republican National Conventions from 1956-1968. Other subjects include the Korean War and other overseas locales such as Africa, Cuba, India, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia; Washington, D.C., landmarks include the U.S. Capitol Building, the U.S. Supreme Court Building, the State Department Building, and the White House. As in Subseries 1.1 and Series 2, multiple folder titles are based on Saturday Evening Post story titles.","Series 4 contains correspondence, awards, press travel packets, copies of images for exhibits and reference use, and a photograph assignment on the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Of particular interest in the correspondence are letters between Atkins and the Saturday Evening Post about his work and other matters. Note that there is also correspondence and notes throughout the folders in the Series 3. The press packets document Nixon's travel abroad during his presidency and can be used in conjunction with the Nixon subject prints in Series 1. There are also publications that feature photographs by Atkins.","Series 5 contains mat photographs that span Atkins entire career from World War II to the White House. Subjects include World War II in Europe, the Korean War, and scenes from Africa, India, and the Middle East. Also pictured are American political figures such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon. Other subjects include protests on the National Mall, landmarks in Washington, D.C., and New York City, coal miners, and Fidel Castro.","The copyright and related rights status of this collection have not been evaluated (See http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/)","The Atkins collection consists of approximately 60,000 images that extensively document American political and cultural history from the 1940s through the 1970s.
