Sub-Series 2: Publications - Articles and Columns
- Scope and content:
-
Mostly original newspaper and magazine columns and articles written by Parke Rouse, beginning with his time in the US Navy in 1936. He wrote columns for the Richmond Times-Dispatch and later for the Daily Press and Times-Herald of Newport News, Virginia. His columns had various names over the years, but he concentrated on Virginia history, particularly Richmond, Williamsburg and area, York County, Gloucester County, Hampton and Newport News. He wrote about people, places and events from prehistoric times to the present. Many columns voiced his views on how the area had changed since his boyhood. Many columns included photographs of the people and places mentioned. Even though loosely grouped by decades, some folders may have originally been organized by subject matter. Later folders in this subseries are grouped by subject as were noted by Parke Rouse.
