Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n 1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n period)and document his legal career; military service in\n World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n professional organizations; and friendships and family\n relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n Powell. Powell has annotated several of them.

Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eLewis F.

Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n 1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n period)and document his legal career; military service in\n World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n professional organizations; and friendships and family\n relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n Powell. Powell has annotated several of them.

Powell Jr. died","The portions of these papers, including personal and\n family correspondence, created prior to Lewis F. Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n 1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n period)and document his legal career; military service in\n World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n professional organizations; and friendships and family\n relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n public access catalog.

Powell Jr. died","The portions of these papers, including personal and\n family correspondence, created prior to Lewis F. Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n 1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n period)and document his legal career; military service in\n World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n professional organizations; and friendships and family\n relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n public access catalog.

Powell Jr. died","The portions of these papers, including personal and\n family correspondence, created prior to Lewis F. Powell,\n Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n 31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n 210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n 1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n period)and document his legal career; military service in\n World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n professional organizations; and friendships and family\n relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n public access catalog.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia.","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum. More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas.","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways.","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library. Local History / Special Collections stewards many valuable resources documenting the history and culture of Alexandria and Virginia from the colonial period to the present.","The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library opened on Duke Street in 2000. This new central library was named after former mayor of Alexandria, Charles E. \"Chuck\" Beatley, Jr. (1916-2003). Upon completion of the new main library site, library adminstration offices were moved from the Barrett Library (formerly the central library) to the Beatley Library.","In 2015 the Library took over management of the Alexandria Law Library, located in the basement of the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street. The Alexandria Law Library provides legal resources for the benefit of the entire Alexandria community, including its citizens, government agencies, local businesses, the judiciary, and members of the bar.","For a more detailed timeline of the history of Alexandria Library, check out our website.","Alexandria Library Board Records\nAlexandria Library Company Records (MS002)","This collection contains the records of the Alexandria Library, documenting the administration and operation of the Library, dating from the founding of the public library in 1937 through the present. Included are administrative records, annual reports, financial records, circulation records, materials documenting the history of the Library, programming and outreach records, and records of the individual branches of the library system.

The Alexandria Library builds community through its six branches by providing opportunities to learn, explore, create, and connect.","The Alexandria Library Company (ALC) was founded on July 24, 1794 and operated a subscription library for nearly 150 years. In 1937, the ALC entered an agreement with the City of Alexandria and their collections formed the foundation of the city's first free public library. Since then, the Alexandria Library has grown into a system of six branches which serve the community of Alexandria, Virginia.","The Kate Waller Barrett Library opened its doors on Queen Street in 1937; this was the first location of the Alexandria Library. It was named after Dr. Kate Waller Barrett – local humanitarian, social crusader, and political reformer. The Society of Friends granted a 99-year lease for use of its old Quaker Burial Ground on Queen Street as the site for the new public library building. This library has undergone several renovations and expansions over the years, in 1954, 1964, and 1993. When the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library was built, the Barrett Library shifted from being the main library to its current role as a branch library which serves residents of Old Town Alexandria and surrounding neighborhoods.","The Robert Robinson Library, named for a grandson of one of George Washington's slaves, opened in 1940 to serve black residents of Alexandria. The establishment of this new branch library was motivated by a civil rights demonstration and lawsuit brought against the Library and the City of Alexandria. The earliest known civil rights sit-in was held at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in 1939. Alexandria Attorney Samuel W. Tucker and five young African American men demonstrated this act of civil disobedience after being denied library cards. The Sit-In and following legal action resulted in the establishment of a new branch of the library to provide \"separate but equal\" library services to black residents. However, this new library branch never received the same support or funding as the main library and was never able to provide fully equitable services to the local African American community. The Alexandria Library officially integrated for adults in 1959, and for children in 1962. The Robert Robinson Library closed in 1962 and the building is now the site of the Alexandria Black History Museum. More details about the 1939 sit-in and integration of Alexandria Library, as well as links to additional resources can be found on our website.","The Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library opened on Seminary Road in 1968. This branch library was named after Ellen Coolidge Burke (1901-1975), who served as Director of the Alexandria Library from 1948 to 1969. The Burke Branch Library serves residents of the Seminary Hill neighborhood and surrounding areas.","The James M. Duncan, Jr. Branch Library opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1969. The Duncan Branch Library serves residents of the Del Ray neighborhood and surrounding areas. This branch was named after James M. Duncan (1897-1967), who served as Chief of the Alexandria Fire Department 1924-1947, member of City Council 1949-1967, and member of the Alexandria Library Board 1950-1967. In 2005 the Duncan Branch Library underwent renovations and became the first City of Alexandria government building to have a \"living\" roof – a Green Infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in local waterways.","The Local History / Special Collections Branch was established in 1976 and first housed at Lloyd House, a historic home on the corner of Queen and North Washington Streets. In 1999, after completion of the most recent round of renovations and expansions, Local History / Special Collections moved into the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library.

His wife, Erika Johnson, was also opening her business, Oddfella's Cantina, simultaneously. The company was founded on the premise of bringing a world music festival to the town of Floyd, Virginia. The company sponsors events such as Floyd Fandango, Capital City Carnival and Microbrew Fest, Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival and much more. The company's most famous event is Floyd Fest, a music festival featuring artists from all over the globe, which takes place for 5 days each July. Oddfella's was sold in 2002 for funds to start Floyd Fest. Floyd Fandango is hosted near the fourth of July. Begun in 2009, it did not take place during the years 2012-2015, as the company needed time to make the festival more profitable. Floyd Fandango now draws crowds to the reimagined fest, which now includes outdoor sports and a farm to table dinner in addition to the staples of the festival- beer, cider, and wine tastings, workshops and performances by bands that also frequent Floyd Fest. The company expanded into Northern Virginia with its Capital Carnival and Microbrew Fest, the Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival and the Virginia Wine Festival in 2007. Since the Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival had operated close to 3 decades, partnering with the event helped the company gain notoriety and establish themselves. In 2016, Across the Way Productions Inc. launched the Totally Rad Roanoke Star City Concert Series, which featured Huey Lewis and The News, Blondie, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys' 50th Anniversary of the album \"Pet Sounds,\" that took place at Roanoke's Elmwood Park Amphitheater. Also in 2016, The Phoenix was started as a venue in Roanoke, Virginia. A nod to the battle of the bands format of the 80's and 90's, visitors to the Phoenix receive a token and votes for their favorite band at the end of the night. The winners of the battles go on to compete in Floyd Fests Annual On-The-Rise Artist Competition.

The company sponsors events such as Floyd Fandango, Capital City Carnival and Microbrew Fest, Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival and much more. The company's most famous event is Floyd Fest, a music festival featuring artists from all over the globe, which takes place for 5 days each July. Oddfella's was sold in 2002 for funds to start Floyd Fest. Floyd Fandango is hosted near the fourth of July.

Floyd Fandango now draws crowds to the reimagined fest, which now includes outdoor sports and a farm to table dinner in addition to the staples of the festival- beer, cider, and wine tastings, workshops and performances by bands that also frequent Floyd Fest. The company expanded into Northern Virginia with its Capital Carnival and Microbrew Fest, the Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival and the Virginia Wine Festival in 2007. Since the Vintage Virginia Wine and Food Festival had operated close to 3 decades, partnering with the event helped the company gain notoriety and establish themselves. In 2016, Across the Way Productions Inc. launched the Totally Rad Roanoke Star City Concert Series, which featured Huey Lewis and The News, Blondie, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys' 50th Anniversary of the album \"Pet Sounds,\" that took place at Roanoke's Elmwood Park Amphitheater.
