Abstract Or Scope

This collection contains correspondence, clippings, newsletters, photographs, certificates, broadsides, catalogs, notes, lectures, appraisals, articles, DVDs, audio cassettes, and VHS tapes related to the Caroline Brandt's building of The McGehee Miniature Book Collection. The bulk of the collection is reference materials on the miniature books as well as appraisals documenting the collection and its value. Brandt spent most of her life building a collection of 15,000 miniature books, which now reside in the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library. The McGehee Miniature Book Collection, named after her first husband, C. Coleman McGehee, a UVA alumnus, came to the library in 2005.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
