Series 1 comprises records related to the West Virginia State Labor Federation, AFL's internal operation and initiatives, including presidents' files, secretary-treasurers' files, general office files, Department of Education files, and financial materials.  Series 2 comprises the records related to the West Virginia State Industrial Union Council, CIO's internal operation and initiatives, including executive secretary-treasurers' files, central office mailings, and records of the Political Action Committee.  Series 3 is reflective of the organization's operations and initiatives after the AFL-CIO merger, including files of various presidents, various secretary-treasurers, central office files, convention files, political materials, legislative files, assorted programs, and financial materials.  Series 4 is a 1978 addendum to this collection that includes additional files of the WVFL, AFL-CIO after the merger, largely featuring records of initiatives like the Political Action Committee and Women's Activities Department.  Series 5 is a 1981 addendum including mostly internal materials, like the notebooks of former organization leaders, photo albums, and copies of AFL-CIO publications. Organizers featured prominently in the collection include Tom Cairnes, E. A. Carter, and Volney Andrews (series 1); Miles Stanley (series 3 and 5); Ben Skeen (series 1 and 3); Glen Armstrong (series 1, 3, and 5); and Pat Sleeth (series 3). WVLF initiatives featured prominently in the collection include the Committee on Political Education (series 3 and 4) and the Women's Activities Department (series 3 and 4), the Appalachian Council (series 3), the Manpower Development and Training Act (series 3), and others. There is a small amount of audiovisual material in this collection in the form of audio recordings created by the WVLF and some photographs that have been digitized for remote access.

Items with no ostensible order have been organized with similar materials. Folders, with some exceptions, are arranged alphabetically within each series and their contents chronologically. Throughout the collection Robinson is occasionally addressed as \"ALR,\" \"Armstead Robinson,\" \"Armstead L. Robinson,\" \"Prof. Robinson,\" \"Robbie\" or \"Robby.\" Some folders abbreviate Robinson's name as \"ALR,\" particularly in Series 5; his Bitter Fruits of Bondage folders are occasionally abbreviated as \"BFOB. The collection is arranged in six series:","Series 1: Correspondence, 1967-1995 (0.5 c.f., Box 1).  This series consists of the bulk of Robinson's general correspondence, 1967-1995, but researchers should note that other correspondence is available throughout Series 2, 3, 4 and 5. Letters of interest include a letter of Whitney Moore Young Jr. of the National Urban League, promising assistance to Robinson, August 18, 1969. Much of Robinson's 1971 correspondence, while an assistant professor of Black Studies at State University of New York at Stony Brook, consists of his research inquiries relating to Black life in Memphis, Tennessee; there are also references to an accident he suffered, December 7 and 15, 1971.  There are several interesting letters during the 1980s (however, researchers should note the absence of 1982, 1988 and 1989 letters in the general \"Correspondence\" folders), especially Robinson's letter of  resignation from the University of California at Los Angeles, May 13, 1980; many of his May 1980 letters pertain to his University of Virginia faculty appointment. Also of interest: a March 26, 1981 letter from Robinson to John Wilkinson, Alumni Affairs Development, Yale University, seeking financial assistance for the daughter of  University of Virginia faculty colleague Vivian V. Gordon; November 23, 1981, to the Rector of the Board of Visitors, Virginia Commonwealth University, expressing opposition to the proposed consolidation of its library system with the school's Visual Education Services; December 9, 1981, to the editor of The Harvard Magazine, describing Robinson's role in the establishment of a Black Studies program at Yale University; March 1984 correspondence with Molefi Kete Asante (founder of Afrocentricity and a Black Studies proponent) accusing Robinson of falsely claiming to have been founding director of the Center for Afro-American Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles.","Series 2: Academic Career, 1964-1969 (4.5 c.f., Boxes 1-5).  This series is concerned with Robinson's academic career and is divided into four subseries; there is some chronological and historical overlap among the folders.\nSubseries A: Yale University (Boxes 1-3) chiefly concerns Robinson's work with the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY), its 1968 symposium \"Black Studies in the University,\" and seven audiotape reel recordings of the symposium's proceedings later transcribed, published and edited by Robinson and others as Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1969). Symposium participants included McGeorge Bundy; Lawrence Chisolm; Harold Cruse; Robert Dahl; Nathan Hare; Ron \"Maulana\" Karenga; Martin Kilson, Jr.; Sidney W. Mintz; Boniface I. Obichere; Donald Ogilvie; Alvin Poussaint; Edwin S. Redkey; Charles Henry Taylor, Jr.; Farris Thompson, and Gerald A. McWorter.\nSubseries B: State University of New York (Box 4) is concerned with Robinson's faculty career and early interest in Black Studies. \nSubseries C: University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Rochester, New York (Box 4)includes Robinson's UCLA class lecture notes and papers while a Rochester doctoral student. \nSubseries D: University of Virginia (Boxes 4-5)represents the longest and final phase of Robinson's academic career. Included are lecture notes, syllabi, course evaluations, and various topical and subject files including folders for colleagues Matthew W. Holden Jr., Nathan A. Scott, Jr., and Jeanne Maddox Toungara; the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies (researchers should note that the majority of the Woodson Institute's papers, including those during Robinson's tenure, are retained there and may not yet be available for public research); the Corcoran Department of History (with correspondence and memoranda of Edward L. Ayers and Edwin E. Floyd concerning Robinson's appointment and tenure); the Venable Lane Burial Site Task Force/Catherine \"Kitty\" Foster Homesite (a university committee Robinson co-chaired); the Office of Afro-American Affairs (1986 letters to University of Virginia president Robert O'Neil in defense of OAAA dean Paul L. Puryear and critical of the handling of his resignation as dean and the controversy surrounding it), and, the transcribed remarks of  F. (Frederick) Palmer Weber (labor and civil rights activist.","Series 3: Subject and Topical Files (Boxes 5-11) consists of alphabetized subject and topical folders of select individuals followed by those of organizations and groups.  Among the prominent correspondents (Boxes 5-7): Herbert Aptheker, Ira Berlin, LaWanda F. Cox, Stanley L. Engerman, Michael W. Fitzgerald, John Hope Franklin, Eugene D. Genovese, Herbert Gutman, Stephen Hahn, Vincent Harding, Darlene Clark Hine, C. Stuart McGehee, Pauline Maier, August Meier, Nell Irvin Painter, Lewis Perry, Edwin S. Redkey, William Scarborough, Robert Brent Toplin, Edmund S. Wehrle, and C. Vann Woodward. Folders of some of  Robinson's former students are also present.\n  ","Series 4: Research Materials (Boxes 11-32)is the collection's largest series and contains research materials, 1850-1995, on the American Civil War, African-American history, Robinson's dissertation and Bitter Fruits of Bondage book, and census projects. (His extensive census research is filed at the end of this series). The majority of nineteenth century material are photocopies. Folders are arranged alphabetically, and several contain materials cited in Bitter Fruits of Bondage. Folders of interest include: \"First Africans in Virginia (Jamestown)\" (Box 11); \"Memphis Social History Project/Memphis Leadership Project\" (Robinson's letter of June 17, 1977 describes this project as having been conceived by him in 1966, while a junior at Yale, as a history of the Black community in Memphis) (Box 12); \"Research Material: Reconstruction: Black Political Leaders in Memphis, Tennessee (city directory and census data)\" (Box 14).Census materials comprise the latter part of Series IV, and at twelve boxes are the largest groups of materials in the series and the collection (Boxes 20-32).","Series 5: Writings and Publications (Boxes 32-42)the collection's second largest series, contains Robinson's writings, publications and manuscripts of his Yale honors' thesis, University of Rochester dissertation \"Day of Jubilo\" [formerly \"Cotton, Contrabands, and Mr. Lincoln's War\"], Bitter Fruits of Bondage (Boxes 32-38), articles, book reviews, public and conference lectures. These folders are arranged alphabetically by title and chronologically within title headings. Some of Robinson's manuscripts were critiqued on his behalf by colleagues and fellow historians such as Ira Berlin, Edward L. Ayers, Michael F. Holt, Michael Johnson, Julie S. Jones, Theresa M. Towner, and Bell Irvin Wiley.","Series 6: Oversize (Oversize Box U-10) is the last for the collection. Items are arranged chronologically and include: a photostatic copy of a 1863 letter from James Seddon, Confederate secretary of war, to Jefferson Davis; two pencil and ink sketches of Carter G. Woodson; a 1994 certificate declaring Robinson an honorary citizen of Natchez, Mississippi; an incomplete numbered set of \"Images of Afro-Americans of the Emancipation Era\" (Hodges Publications); University of North Carolina Department of Geography census templates and demographic maps; photostatic copies of Civil War maps from National Archives (Washington, D.C.) record group numbers 77 and 94, and speaking engagement posters.","Armstead Louis Robinson was born on April 30, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of Reverend Dr. DeWitt Robinson (a Lutheran clergyman) and Ruth Dickinson Robinson. He attended segregated New Orleans public schools (Trinity Lutheran Elementary and Rivers Frederick Junior High), and Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, from which he graduated with honors in 1964.","Robinson enrolled at Yale University in 1964 as one of eighteen African-American men (out of 1,061 men admitted that year) and received a bachelor's degree in History and graduated with honors and distinction in 1969 for his Scholar of the House thesis, \"In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, 1865-1870.\" As a Yale student Robinson helped create an undergraduate Black Studies program culminating in a 1968 symposium, \"Black Studies in the University,\" and co-edited the conference anthology, Black Studies in the University; A Symposium (Yale University Press, 1969), one of the first books on Black Studies. This experience led to his lifelong interest in promoting Black Studies. While at Yale, Robinson began his teaching career with a lecture series on Black History for the New Haven, Connecticut public school system as well as elementary school day sessions and junior high school evening sessions during 1966-1968.","Robinson was a member of the dean's list (1967-1969), captain of Yale's ROTC Rifle Team (1966-1968), recipient of the 1968 Von Snidren Prize for book collecting, and a member of the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY). As an alumnus he served on the Yale Development Board (1983-1988), the Association of Yale Alumni Board of Governors (1981-1986), and the Yale University Council (1977-1995), of which he served as president during 1981-1986. In 1987 he was the recipient of the Yale Medal for Distinguished Service, his alma mater's highest alumni honor. ","Robinson briefly attended Yale Divinity School (1968-1970) before withdrawing to become a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale, Illinois (1970), an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the State University of New York, SUNY-Stony Brook, and assistant professor of Africana and Afro-American Studies, SUNY Brockport (1970-1973). Later, Robinson was a visiting scholar or professor of history at the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), Southwestern at Memphis [now Rhodes College], and Smith College, Massachusetts (Box 10), and the University of Richmond (Box 11).","It is unknown exactly when and why Robinson decided to become a Civil War historian. While an assistant history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1973-1980), he began work on his dissertation at the University of Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by two of America's leading historians, Stanley L. Engerman and Eugene D. Genovese. Genovese was among the scholars who early recognized Robinson's talents as a historian. In his seminal study Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World The Slaves Made (1974), Genovese cited Robinson's thesis (pp. 700n26 and 725n4) as \"'In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis, Tennessee, 1865-1870,' unpubl. undergraduate thesis, Yale University, 1969\" (Boxes 5, 6, 15-16, 40-41). ","Robinson received a Doctorate of Philosophy with Honors from the University of Rochester in 1977 for his dissertation \"Day of Jubilo: Civil War and the Demise of Slavery in the Mississippi Valley, 1861-1865.\" In 1980 he joined the University of Virginia faculty as an associate professor in the Corcoran Department of History and was also appointed the first director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies; as director he was the general editor of the Carter G. Woodson Series in Black Studies published by the University Press of Virginia and retained these positions until his death. In a June 25, 1980 letter to James T. McIntosh, editor of the Papers of Jefferson Davis, Robinson noted the racial and cultural significance of his Virginia appointment: \"I am happier than I can possibly express to be able to return home to the south, particularly at UVA where I am scheduled to teach . . .  I am indeed excited about the day when a southern black can teach southern and Civil War/Reconstruction history at a major southern university\" (folder \"Papers of Jefferson Davis,\" Box 12). ","He served on numerous university committees during his career. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he was a member of: the Faculty Senate (1975-1979); the American Field Written Comprehensive Examination Committee (1976-1979; chairman, 1977-1979), and, the Fellowships Committee, Center for Afro-American Studies (1975-1980; chairman, 1977-1980).

Woodson Award, Journal of Negro History (1981); Fellow at the National Humanities and National Research Council (1984-1985); Jefferson Davis Memorial Lecturer, Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia (1990); William Allan Neilson Research Professor, Smith College (1991-1992); Louis P. Gottschalk Memorial Lecturer, University of Louisville (1994), and the Jessie Ball DuPont Visiting Professor, University of Richmond (1994-1995). The Virginia State Library Board of Trustees issued a 1990 resolution of thanks for his service during 1984-1989 while a member of its board of trustees, and Robinson was declared an honorary citizen of Natchez, Mississippi in 1994. He was a member of several scholarly organizations including the American Historical Association, the American Studies Association, the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, the Organization of American Historians, and the Southern Historical Association.","Robinson published extensively. He co-edited Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (1969) [Boxes 1-2]; The African Religious Tradition: Historiography (Associated Publishers, 1987), and New Directions in Civil Rights Studies (University Press of Virginia, 1991). His posthumous magnum opus, Bitter Fruits of Bondage: The Demise of Slavery and the Collapse of the Confederacy, 1861-1865 (University of Virginia Press, 2005), was nationally acclaimed (Boxes 32-38). The author of several articles, essays and book reviews, Robinson's most significant articles include: \"In the Shadow of Old John Brown: Insurrection Anxiety and Confederate Mobilization, 1861-1863,\" Journal of Negro History (Fall 1980) [Box 41]; \"Beyond the Realm of Social Consensus: New Meanings of Reconstruction for American History,\" The Journal of American History (September 1981) [Box 32], and, \"Reassessing the First Reconstruction: Lost Opportunity or Tragic Era,\" Reviews in American History, (March 1978) [Box 42]. He also wrote the foreword to Calder Loth's Virginia Landmarks of Black History: Sites on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places (University Press of Virginia, 1995) [Box 42].","Robinson married Mildred (Wigfall) Ravenell, a University of Virginia law professor, at the university's Colonnade Club in 1987. He died of complications from a brain aneurysm at the University of Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville, on August 28, 1995, at the age of forty-eight. He was survived by his wife Mildred and their daughter Allison; his mother Ruth Robinson; his sisters DeWittress Taylor and Miriam Elmore and a brother, Llewlyn Robinson; two stepchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and relatives. After a funeral on September 5, 1995, Robinson was interred at Cross of Cavalry Lutheran Church Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. A two-hour memorial \"Service of Thanksgiving,\" attended by nearly 500 colleagues, family and friends, was held on September 29, 1995 at the University of Virginia's Old Cabell Hall auditorium. The Armstead L. Robinson Fellowship Fund was established at the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies in his memory.","The Armstead L.

Faris was born in St. Clairsville, Ohio on August 1, 1870. His family moved to Wheeling, West Virginia two years later. Faris was educated in Wheeling public schools. He worked as a draftsman for Edgar Wells in the Wheeling firm of Klieves, Kraft and Company (a Wheeling architectural and building contractor company), before he left the city to work for architects in Chicago and New York City. Faris returned to Wheeling in 1892, where he entered into a partnership with Joseph Leiner forming Leiner \u0026 Faris. In 1894, Faris left that partnership and formed the partnership of Franzheim, Giesey \u0026 Faris, with Edward B. Franzheim and Millard Fillmore Geisey. Franzheim left the partnership in 1899, and the pair continued as Geisey \u0026 Faris.  In 1911, he entered private practice as F.F. Faris Architect. Faris died June 27, 1927, at 56, from complication resulting from strep throat and is buried in Wheeling's Greenwood Cemetery. Faris married Nellie Egerter Faris (1876-1973) in 1897. The couple had no children. Following his death, Faris' nephews Frederic P. Faris and Philip V. Faris took over the practice.","Frederic P. Faris","Frederic P. Faris was born February 14, 1901, in Wheeling, West Virginia. He was likely educated in Wheeling public schools. He attended Cornell University, graduating with a BA in Architecture in 1923 and an MA in Architecture in 1924.  Faris worked along with his older brother Philip Faris (1899-1974), an engineer, in his uncle's practice prior to his death. After Frederick Faris' death, the practice was styled as Faris Associates. In the early 1950s, the firm was known as Frederic Faris AIA. Faris died July 14, 1964. He is buried in Wheeling's Greenwood Cemetery. Faris married Mary Elizabeth Steinbicker in 1947. The couple had no children. The practice passed to Tracy R. Stephens.","Tracy Ralston Stephens","Tracy R. Stephens was born in Cameron, West Virginia on November 14, 1901, but lived in Western Pennsylvania prior to the family relocating to Morgantown in the late 1910s. Stephens initially attended West Virginia University, but since WVU has no architecture program he transferred to Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, where he completed his architecture studies. He graduated in 1930. Stephen had worked for the Clarksburg firm of Edward J. Wood \u0026 Son Licensed Architects while at Carnegie Tech. Following his graduation, he became a member of the practice where he worked from the early 1930s until World War II. He left the practice during the war to work at Fairchild Aircraft in Hagerstown, Maryland. After the war, he returned to Clarksburg and started his own practice, Tracy R. Stephens Architect in 1947. In the early 1960s, Frederic Faris persuaded Stephens to join his practice to help with an abundance of commissions with West Liberty State College (now West Liberty University) in West Liberty, West Virginia, especially the Hall of Fine Arts.  Upon the death of Frederic Faris, the architectural firm's name changed again, this time back to Faris Associates, and was comprised of Tracy Stephens, Philip Faris, and Merle Peterson (Peterson later became the West Virginia University Campus Architect). After Philip Faris retired in 1972, the firm became Tracy R. Stephens, AIA, Architect. Stephens died in Cumming, Georgia on November 4, 2003, and is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. Stephens never married.","The A\u0026M 3330 Faris, Faris, and Stephens, Architects, Records card index binder (\"A\u0026M 3330 FARIS DRAWINGS--INDEX\") is a photocopied card index that includes an inventory of the architectural drawings and related documents and specifications regarding the architectural projects of Frederick Faris, Frederic Faris, and Tracy Stephens. This inventory dates to the late 1960s with subsequent updates. This binder is housed with the control folders. \nThe A\u0026M 3330 card index provides an alphabetic listing of Faris, Faris, and Stephens' individual architectural design projects. The list includes information on the project name; type of project and geographical location; type of drawings, such as tracings and prints; and correspondence and specifications, with occasional project dates and particular individuals' involvement. Also, there are notes related to the design projects, such as client and property names and subsequent property ownership. However, some projects' index cards simply list the project/building name and the legacy storage location of the related materials. This information may be useful to a researcher who is looking for details of a particular design project or as a compendium of design project materials. Please note that the locational information for drawings, files, and drawer numbers enumerated in the index is now obsolete, and the photocopied card index itself is at least partially obsolete due to the later creation of a spreadsheet inventory for the collection.","The Faris, Faris, and Stephens, Architects, Records consists of the records of approximately 300 to 350 architectural design projects dating from circa 1890 through 1990.  This collection represents the architectural design work of three prominent West Virginia architects: Frederick F. Faris (1870-1927), Federic P. Faris (1901-1964), and Tracy R. Stephens (1901-2003). \nFaris, Faris, and Stephens were collectively responsible for a broad range of architectural designs including private residences, banks, churches, schools, public housing, and recreational and industrial buildings. Additionally, these architects also designed furnishings, hardware, and signage for several of these design projects. Geographically, this collection is centered on Wheeling, but also includes projects from West Virginia's Northern Panhandle and regionally including Ohio and Pennsylvania. Series 1 consists of architectural drawings, including tracings (pencil drawings) and ink on vellum drawings of plan, elevation, and sections; structural, masonry, hardware, and furnishings detail drawings; structural steel drawings; construction drawings; and preliminary design sketches. There are also white prints and blueprints, often used for field measurements, as well as bound presentation set drawings for public and client perusal and approval. Additionally, there are sub-contractors' blueprints, mostly from local Wheeling ornamental and structural iron works. Lastly, there are architectural renderings for a number of projects, most in color. This series also includes original measured drawings prepared by other Wheeling architects including Charles W. Bates and Edward B. Franzheim. How these drawings became part of this collection is unclear, but they were probably loaned to Frederick F. Faris for use in remodeling projects and never returned. Series 2 includes textual records, such as correspondence, reports, price quotations for material and other services, specifications, contracts, prints/drawings, and other documents regarding architectural projects. Rough contents list is available upon request. Series 3. Addendum of 2015 October 12 includes materials regarding the accomplishments of architect Tracy Stephens and commemoration of his work in Wheeling, WV. Featured projects include Alterations to the West Virginia Independence Hall and the Paul M. McKay Residence, with drawings, notes, and specifications included. There are also project-specific financial records spanning several years of Stephens's career; newspaper clippings featuring articles about his work, brief correspondence from the American Institute of Architects about historical research being conducted on Stephens, and materials from Frederic Faris's education at Cornell University. Series 4 includes architectural books collected by Faris, Faris, and Stephens throughout their careers. There are guidebooks for designing various kinds of buildings, like schools, hospitals, and residences; biographies of prominent architects; and task-specific manuals for projects like floodproofing and modernizing buildings. The majority of the books were published from 1921-1991, so they demonstrate some of the ways that best practices and design choices evolved throughout the 20th century. Additionally, these books provide insight into the influences behind Faris, Faris, and Stephens's work. A list of book titles is provided in each box's scope and contents note.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

Lastly, there are architectural renderings for a number of projects, most in color. This series also includes original measured drawings prepared by other Wheeling architects including Charles W. Bates and Edward B. Franzheim. How these drawings became part of this collection is unclear, but they were probably loaned to Frederick F. Faris for use in remodeling projects and never returned. Series 2 includes textual records, such as correspondence, reports, price quotations for material and other services, specifications, contracts, prints/drawings, and other documents regarding architectural projects. Rough contents list is available upon request. Series 3. Addendum of 2015 October 12 includes materials regarding the accomplishments of architect Tracy Stephens and commemoration of his work in Wheeling, WV. Featured projects include Alterations to the West Virginia Independence Hall and the Paul M. McKay Residence, with drawings, notes, and specifications included. There are also project-specific financial records spanning several years of Stephens's career; newspaper clippings featuring articles about his work, brief correspondence from the American Institute of Architects about historical research being conducted on Stephens, and materials from Frederic Faris's education at Cornell University. Series 4 includes architectural books collected by Faris, Faris, and Stephens throughout their careers. There are guidebooks for designing various kinds of buildings, like schools, hospitals, and residences; biographies of prominent architects; and task-specific manuals for projects like floodproofing and modernizing buildings. The majority of the books were published from 1921-1991, so they demonstrate some of the ways that best practices and design choices evolved throughout the 20th century.
