Processing Note
Processed Teresa M. Mora and Theresa M. Pool, interns, August 22, 1997.
Scope and Content
The General series contains a substantial amount of material pertaining to the development of Virginia. The Tourism series contains brochures and memorabilia pertaining to Virginia in general as well as some specific Civil War sites. Also housed in this box is the tourist literature pertaining to Colonial Williamsburg and Mount Vernon.
Immediate Source of Acquisition note
Virginia is a portion of the Business Ephemera Series of the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060 purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.
