Nancy Graham Rogers Collection 1910-1975

The manuscript materials consist of personal and business correspondence of Nancy Graham Rogers, including letters from her fiance, Albert C. Johnson. There are also letters Rogers inherited from her mother, Anna, including one from her father to her grandmother asking for Anna's hand in marriage. There are business receipts, correspondence, tax information, and material regarding the estates of relatives for whom Rogers served as executor, including Anne Snowden Wildman Dyer and Christine Wildman. The collection also includes scrapbooks, Nancy's mother's wedding book, and a small diary Rogers kept from 1932 to 1935. An account book marked "Turkeys and Chickens 1915" was used as a scrapbook, probably by Anna Rogers, and contains clippings and expenses. A journal also used as a scrapbook, probably by Anna Rogers, contains recipes, family expenses for 1914, and clippings. There are two scrapbooks compiled by Mary Oden Rogers containing clippings and pictures. Some loose material in the scrapbooks was removed and placed in folders. Separation sheets detailing where these materials were placed were put in the scrapbooks.

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.
