Constance Welsh Collection 1890-1948

This collection consists primarily of three scrapbooks maintained by Connie Welsh in 1938-1940. The scrapbooks contain clippings from Loudoun County newspapers about births, deaths, marriages, dances, parties, local interest stories, and property transfers. The first scrapbook was probably created in 1938 and 1939, but contains material from much earlier, such as an invitation to her parents' wedding in 1890 and the published wedding announcement. Inserted material from Scrapbook 2 includes a small photograph of Connie and a cutting of her hair. There is a notebook filled with anecdotes and jokes, some of which are suggestive. Also included is a detailed account of the sale of Susan Welch's personal property in 1946 with the names of those who bought items and the prices they paid.

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.
