Josephine Newbury teaching children about corn and other plants at the Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va. <br /><br />Before the Newbury Center opened in 1957, there was no education available in a school setting in Richmond or the surrounding counties for children younger than five. Preschool itself was an innovative concept then. This new purpose-built facility was created to become a model preschool for the training of teachers and the design of innovative curriculum. Professor Josephine Newbury of the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Richmond, Va., established the school.<br /><br />The professional images in this collection are the work of the Dementi Studios, one of Richmond's foremost portrait and documentary photographers. The series was made shortly after the Demonstration Kindergarten opened in 1957. They present an idealized image of childhood experience, social expectations, and gender roles, as well as the educational philosophy and methods of the time.

Children play in a pretend grocery store, Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va.
Description
An account of the resource
Four children are shown playing in a pretend grocery store. One boy uses a play phone and writes a message; a girl retrieves items from the shelves; another girl pretends to check out while a boy uses a toy cash register to ring up the sale. <br /><br />The Newbury Center was fully accredited by the Virginia State Department of Education as a kindergarten and as a training venue for teacher certification. Summer training workshops were attended by students from 13 Virginia universities. Education majors from VCU and VUU could do their student teaching there. Nurses in training in pediatrics at Richmond Memorial, MCV and Johnston-Willis hospitals came to fulfill their requirements in education and socialization of the young child. <br /><br />The building included a mirrored glass panel running the full length of one wall in the main classroom, behind which up to 20 visitors could observe the children and their teachers. The observation room was soundproofed and air-conditioned. A microphone and speaker system made it possible to listen to the activities in the classroom. This facility was considered very advanced for its time; it was modeled after the teacher training lab at the University of Maryland. <br /><br />Before the Newbury Center opened in 1957, there was no education available in a school setting in Richmond or the surrounding counties for children younger than five. <br /><br />The photographs in this series present an idealized image of childhood experience, social expectations, and gender roles, as well as the educational philosophy and methods of the time.

Transcription: <br /><br />
<p>Woman’s Exchange January 8, 1932</p>
<p>The Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work is the first woman’s shop established in Richmond which has been in continuous operation for almost fifty years. It was established in 1883 to assist ladies who, in 1883, felt their privacy would be violated and their pride tarnished if the public knew they were forced to work for money. Now we know that what a woman can do is her greatest ornament and that she always consults her dignity by doing it.</p>
<p>Now we have meetings where Consignors and Board Members discuss every phase of our mutual business.</p>
<p>There are among the consignors some of your best friends and mine.</p>
<p>They are from the best levels of our citizenship – much respected and self respecting women.</p>
<p>Without exception they are women who cannot go out into active business. Most of them have children or invalids at home who cannot do without them, or perhaps their husbands have had bad luck and cannot make ends meet. They show a notable gallantry by throwing their strength into helping their family to be self supporting upstanding citizens.</p>
<p>The Exchange is not a charity, - it is a philanthropy.</p>
<p>We simply give women a chance to help themselves.</p>
<p>As a shop we are obliged to meet tremendous and increasing competition.</p>
<p>We try to meet it by defeating it.</p>
<p>We try to give honest value, courteous and efficient service and the very best quality in town.</p>
<p>In our foods we tolerate no substitute for the best materials.</p>
<ol>
<li>2</li>
</ol>
<p>We have lately put on a second delivery and we send to Westhampton and to Ginter Park.</p>
<p>We are constantly trying to introduce novelties in all our departments.</p>
<p>We have many services which the public does not always realize.</p>
<p>We make aspics and desert to order.</p>
<p>We mend fine bead bags and wash and darn delicate laces and old lace curtains.</p>
<p>We restore antique, painted trays.</p>
<p>We print stationery, --just like you get from Peru, Indiana, at the same price, - and more promptly.</p>
<p>We take for sale some young woman’s treasured bit of glory, that must be sacrificed because her husband has lost his job, or some frail old lady’s paisley shawl or piece of family silver.</p>
<p>The Superintendent gives these facts about some of our present consignors</p>
<p>A-says that through her sales she has been able to keep her two boys at school.</p>
<p>B-says that her sales of cake and fancy articles enabled her to have her daughter taught the violin which she is now teaching to others.</p>
<p>C-says her sales have made it possible for her to take care of an invalid mother and stay at home with her.</p>
<p>D-says her sales have given her the means to help to keep her sister at the Blue Ridge Sanitarium.</p>
<p>E-could not hold her home together without the Exchange.</p>
<p>We have over two hundred consignors.</p>
<p>It is not an easy job that we do.</p>
<p>We have only a thirty thousand dollar endowment invested in mortgage bonds.</p>
<p>p.3</p>
<p>The consignors pay us twenty per cent commission, -which is only about two-thirds of what it costs any shop to do business.</p>
<p>We have a small amount from subscriptions and consignors membership tickets.</p>
<p>One of our greatest difficulties has been to keep our promise to pay the consignor on the first pay day after her article is sold.</p>
<p>This is difficult because some of our patrons are careless about paying their bills. They do not realize that we have no working capital and that their delay is a very serious embarrassment for us, and has often sent us to borrow from the bank where we have to pay interest.</p>
<p>We rarely beg, but we do have a constant struggle to make ends meet.</p>
<p>If we ever have to shut up our business it will throw about two hundred women out of employment.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">We do not ask pity,</span> - we <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">only</span> ask that you will try our shop.</p>
<p>Give us the chance we are trying to give our consignors.</p>
<p>Ethel Baskervill</p>

Letter from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director to voter registration activists, Mississippi, July 7, 1958
Description
An account of the resource
Letter of encouragement from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director following a meeting he attended in Mississippi. <br /><br />Text -- <br />Dear Friend: <br /><br />My meeting with you in Mississippi was an inspiration to me. It proved my belief that, "if people are given a clear picture of the voting situation, they will cooperate". <br /><br />The people in Meridian and Jackson are well on their way toward increasing their voting strength and becoming first-class citizens. Your future activities will tell what Y O U are going to do in your city. Talk to your neighbors and invite them to join your group. A large attendance will be an inspiration to all concerned. <br /><br />It is my sincere hope that your organization will be a guiding light for other communities all over Mississippi to follow. IT CAN BE DONE would be the wrong words to us, IT WILL BE DONE because of Y O U.<br /><br />Sincerely yours, <br />John M. Brooks<br />NAACP Registration Director

Influenza virus vaccines for Richmond region
Description
An account of the resource
<p>After the influenza virus was finally identified in 1933, researchers immediately started to develop a vaccine. The first flu vaccine was approved for U.S. military use in 1945 and for civilian use in 1946. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the flu has several types, and many types come in multiple strains—each of which has to be included in a vaccine to provide protection. Each year, scientists make their best prediction as to which flu variants will circulate that year and prepare a vaccine that treats a combination of the most likely strains. Sometimes the match is a good one, but sometimes unexpected strains mean the vaccine is less effective. Immunity also wears off and different strains emerge—which is why it’s important to get a flu shot every year.</p>

Virginia Home for Incurables, W. Broad and Robinson streets, Richmond, Virginia
Description
An account of the resource
In 1894, Mary Tinsley Greenhow, who as a teenager was paralyzed during a horse riding accident, founded the Virginia Home for Incurables. Disabled Richmonders needing life-long care lived at the home near Capitol Square. <br /><br />In 1898, the home moved to W. Broad and Robinson streets, across from the future site of the Science Museum of Virginia. It moved to its present location on Hampton Street in Byrd Park in 1930. The name shortened to The Virginia Home in 1963. <br /><br />Today, Virginia residents at least 18 years of age with an irreversible physical disability can apply for residence. The Virginia Home provides nursing and medical care, therapy, counseling services, job and recreational opportunities to its residents.

Richmond Male Orphan Society, Richmond, Va.
Description
An account of the resource
Boys standing outside the Richmond Male Orphan Society at Amelia and Meadow Streets, Richmond, Va. <br /><br />The Richmond Male Orphan Society began in 1846 when the director of the Female Humane Association was approached by a homeless boy begging for coins. Recognizing the city’s need for a boy’s home, concerned residents formed the Richmond Male Orphan Society in Church Hill. It made various moves and is now located in western Henrico County. <br /><br />The organization’s name has evolved over time to the Richmond Home for Boys and then the Virginia Home for Boys. When it began to house girls in 2004, it was renamed the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls. Among its services are foster care, alternative education, independent living services and psychiatric and medical care. <br />

City Home, an almshouse located at 210 Hospital Street, Richmond, VA.

Laws of Virginia with Regard to Women Contrasted with Laws Where Women Vote [Equal Suffrage League handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
This sheet compares Virginia laws pertaining to women with those of states where female suffrage already had been approved. Arranged in two contrasting columns, the sheet presents twelve points and includes an Equal Suffrage League of Virginia enrollment form on the second page. Laws covered include those relating to property rights, inheritance, and parental guardianship.<br /><br />The League was founded in 1909 and included prominent women such as Adèle Clark, Ellen Glasgow, Mary Johnston, Mary Munford, Nora Houston, and Lila Meade Valentine (the league’s first president). After a decade of failure to convince Virginia’s representatives that women should have the vote, the League switched focus to winning Congressional passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. <br />

Equal Suffrage and the Negro Vote [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This broadside was issued by the Equal Suffrage League in about 1916. <br /><br />Southern suffragists were forced to respond to anti-suffrage groups who argued that if African American women gained the right to vote, white supremacy would be threatened. Although some prominent suffragists claimed that their response was borne only out of expedience, and not principle, they nonetheless employed Jim Crow arguments by emphasizing the power of the literacy test and the poll tax.

Description
An account of the resource
<a href="https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/brooks-lucy-goode-1818-1900/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucy Goode Brooks</a> (1818–1900) and members of the Ladies Sewing Circle for Charitable Work established the Friends Asylum for Colored Orphans in 1871. These formerly enslaved women enlisted the support of the Cedar Creek Meeting Society of Friends (Quakers) to found a home for orphaned and abandoned African-American children. Brooks’s activism came from her experience losing one of her children, who was sold before the Civil War. <br /><br />The Friends Asylum opened an orphanage at St. Paul and Charity streets in Jackson Ward. Today, the organization is known as FRIENDS Association for Children. It provides childcare, enrichment programs, support and educational services to low-income families.

Description
An account of the resource
Orie Latham Hatcher, Ph.D. was head of the Bureau of Vocations in Virginia, a group founded in 1915. <br /><br />Dr. Hatcher and the work of the Bureau of Vocations was described in <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.c2572263&view=2up&seq=150" target="_blank" title="read "The Virginia Teacher" through HathiTrust.org" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Virginia Teacher </em>(vol. 2, no. 5, p. 128)</a>:<br /><br />"She is the head of a unique institution, the Bureau of Vocation of Virginia, which was founded six years ago in Richmond, under her inspiration. This institution exerts a strong educational influence. It inspires women first, to the best general education possible, then to adequate special training in some one field of work wisely chosen."<br /><br /><em>Occupations for Women</em> contains a preliminary essay written by Hatcher entitled "Women Who Work," in which Hatcher presents the various points of view related to women working outside the home at different stages of life. Towards the end of the essay, Hatcher describes "Signs of Progress" and "Handicaps to Progress."<br /><br /> Excerpts from that essay, and the introduction to the section of the book dealing with Social Work, are presented here.
