The John B. Crenshaw Papers were digitized in 2005 as a part of an LSTA grant funded project. The site is under renovation and upgrading for another decade of access. It is currently available at http://library.guilford.edu/ms235 with additional images and transciptions being added to provide convenient access to the entire manuscript collection.
John B. Crenshaw (1820 - 1899) was a Quaker minister who lived near Richmond, Virginia during the Civil War. His influence and personal acquaintances among both Union and Confederate government officials established him a chief aid for Friends who were drafted into the Confederate Army against their religious beliefs. Many letters and papers exhibit how John Crenshaw labored for the exemption of conscientious objectors as well as for the release of Friends who were imprisoned for their pacifist beliefs. Correspondence also includes information about homefront experiences of Quaker families in North Carolina from 1861 to 1865.
In partnership with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the Civil Rights Greensboro project includes key documents relating to the Guilford College community's reaction to and experiences with civil rights and integration during the period from 1945 to 1980.
