Textiles, Teachers, and Troops: Greensboro and Guilford in the 1920s

Textiles, Teachers, and Troops makes available more than 175,000 digital images documenting the social and cultural development of Greensboro from Reconstruction to World War II.

Guilford's Quaker Archives is proud to be a partner in this newest collaborative project hosted by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  Highlights from Guilford include:

Raymond and Helen Titsworth Binford Papers

Mary Mendenhall Hobbs Papers

See http://library.uncg.edu/dp/ttt/guilford.aspx for a complete list of Friends Historical Collection items available at this time.

Textiles, Teachers, and Troops is a collaborative project among seven cultural heritage institutions in Greensboro and was funded in part through a Library Services and Technology Act Grant administered by the State Library of North Carolina.

College Archives

As the official repository for college records, the collection is responsible for Guilford’s institutional memory, preserving records of enduring value and making them accessible. Key published materials are available on open shelves in Library 117. Contact Quaker Archives staff for additional assistance and for locating unique materials kept in the closed stack area.

A complete set of Guilford College yearbooks and newspapers are kept on the set of shelves by the entrance to the Quaker open stacks (next to the research room). This area is available whenever the library is open. There are also two published histories of the college, Dorothy Gilbert’s Guilford: A Quaker College (1937) and Alexander Stoesen’s Guilford College: On the Strength of 150 Years (1987), and they are located in the same area.
