The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Durham was founded in 1920 and served the larger Durham community from the 1920s until the 1970s. The Harriet Tubman branch of the Durham YWCA served the African-American community in particular and, through collaboration with the Central branch, fostered integration in a racically segregated Durham. In the 1970s, the YWCA became the home of the Durham Women's Health Co-op and the Durham Rape Crisis Center, which operated out of the YWCA Women's Center. These organizations were central to reform movements throughout Durham, from women's health and childcare to fair wages and civil rights. The YWCA of Durham records reflect both the administrative history of the YWCA, as well as the programs, projects, social events, and community outreach that formed the backbone of the organization. For example, a series of scrapbooks, put together by Y Teen groups, program participants, and residents of the YWCA's boarding houses captures the strength of the YWCA community. The broader impact of the YWCA is evident in their range of programming, especially the clubs they hosted, from PMS and Single Mothers groups to a "Matrons Club." The YWCA's impact is also reflected in administrative and financial materials that tell the story of the Y's work to serve the people of Durham that needed a safe place to build community for themselves and their families.

The Wyatt T. Dixon Papers span the 1850s to 1987, although the bulk of the material dates from 1918 to the 1960s. The collection consists of diaries, vintage photographs, photomechanical prints, postcards, clippings, correspondence, speeches, scrapbooks, printed materials, forms, military records, leaflets, and maps. The Photographs Series comprises the largest portion of the collection. The collection documents the history of Durham, N.C., the Dixon family, activities of the United States Army, American Expeditionary Forces, 30th Division, 113th Field Artillery Unit, Battery C, from 1917 to 1919; Durham, North Carolina; and Dixon's career as a journalist.

The World War I Series chronicles the activities of the American Expeditionary Forces, 113th Field Artillery Unit, Battery C, which consisted primarily of men from Durham, N.C. Dixon's diaries chronicle the unit's movements and activities in the United States and Europe including England, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Battery C was involved in the Saint Michiel offensive and the Meuse-Argonne Campaign. The diaries describe camp life in the United States and Europe, including daily routines; camp conditions; outbreaks of measles and other medical situations; and the soldiers' personal recreational activities. The journey by ship to Europe is also described in detail, including the sale of food to the soldiers and the conditions on board. Civilian responses to the soldiers as they visited or traveled through towns and cities in America, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg are noted throughout the diaries. Dixon mentions a unit of African-American soldiers was at Mont Dore, France. There are some snapshot photographs of Battery C which Dixon probably created with his Kodak camera and some formal panoramic photographs of the entire unit. Letters written by Dixon and his family while he was in the Army are found in the Writings Series.

The Writings Series contains some personal correspondence and a diary, but the bulk of the series documents Dixon's career as a writer for newspapers published by the Durham Herald Company in Durham, N.C. In his column "How Times Do Change," Dixon described life in Durham and the surrounding area and the manner in which cityscapes and social life had changed over the past decades.

Images include buildings such as banks, businesses, cemeteries, churches, court houses, dams and power plants, hospitals, hotels and inns, plantations (abandoned), post offices, schools, and tobacco warehouses and factories.

Transportation, including trolleys, buses, fire fighting equipment and train depots, is also documented.

Writings authored by other people besides Nerlove, the majority of which he kept in his "reprint files." Includes author files with papers (many for presentation), chapters (sometimes multiple), research proposals, and handouts. Arranged alphabetically by last name of lead author, who is not always the person who sent Nerlove the item and who he filed it under. Date on folder is date of writing unless correspondence is attached, which took priority and can be from following year or later.

Due to volume, this material was thoroughly weeded to focus only on items with correspondence, annotations, or that appeared to be unpublished (primarily pre-1990). However, a list of all authors originally present was created and can be provided upon request from Research Services. This list also includes universities and organizations that had more than three items present.

Folder

Series houses works, chiefly play scripts, written by Hubert Hayes. These include the popular plays Tight Britches and Thunderland, as well as many short plays, some poems, radio scripts, and minstrel and variety shows, chiefly dating from 1932-1950.

For each book title, undated drafts and notes come first, followed by book reviews, fan mail, contracts, and material collected by Millett as background for the book. Book drafts are sometimes labeled by letter, as in "draft A" or "draft B." This does not imply that one was written before the other, but only gives an order to their presentation.

The Other Writings subseries offers material related to Millett's articles and unpublished manuscripts. The Interviews subseries contains correspondence, clippings, and a small number of transcripts of interviews with Millett. The Speeches subseries includes notes and drafts, along with related records, while the Engagements subseries primarily consists of correspondence about speaking engagements, and materials from conferences in which Millett participated. Subseries files are in chronological order.

The series includes some documents in electronic format. In general, electronic documents are grouped with corresponding from which diskettes were taken from, or folders containing related paper documents. If there is no corresponding folder, the documents are marked "electronic format only." Electronic versions of book drafts are in chronological order together with other dated material. For each electronic document, the container entry provides the file name, the date the file was last modified, and the number assigned to the original computer disk on which the file was received. Please contact the Rubenstein Library to request access to electronic records.

Morgenstern's publications, lectures, speeches and reviews focus upon economic theory and national and international economic problems. The diaries, written in German, cover his professional career and are also the principal source for his personal life. The writings are arranged into diaries, large chronological and alphabetical groups, and a small miscellaneous group. The chronological writings are mostly printed material and photocopies. The alphabetical writings include drafts and final copies, often incomplete, and may be manuscripts, typescripts, photocopies, or printed material.

Manuscript drafts, notes, and notebooks for published and unpublished works by Blyth. Arranged alphabetically by subject.

There are also some haiku translations by Akiko Kobayashi. Other files relate to unpublished works and to research interests about animism, culture and mysticism, the British poet John Clare, language, love, and satanism.

This series consists of 595 items. Formats include pamphlets, newspapers, clippings, and one photograph album. There are many illustrations, mostly photographic. There are also many maps, some in color. One pamphlet is a collection of reproductions of the Dutch Louis Raemaekers' black and white propaganda sketches of atrocities and battles of World War I.

Several literary genres may be found in this sub-collection, including poetry, narrative, diaries, and published letters.

Because of Mazzoni's role as Senator of Italy and participant in World War I action in the Alps, there are a great many interesting items in this group. A large number are official government documents, most of them printed in Italy, England, or France. Many of the items are wartime propaganda, including some early pieces which were published with portions of text censored by the Austrians, after which an unknown person filled in the missing text in pen. Guido Mazzoni fortunately preserved these pieces for later generations to study.

The photograph album is quite unusual and was probably acquired by Mazzoni while he served in the Italian Army near Trento; it is one person's intimate account of the Austrian invasion of the Trento region and the Austrian's defeat one year later (1917-1918). It is written in highly sophisticated, poetic narrative which imitates Carducci's "barbaric meter," and is illustrated with about two dozen intimate wartime photographs.

Any item concerned with World War I is included in this category, even if its imprint date falls outside the dates in the subject heading. Thus there are some pamphlets printed after 1918 whose subject is directly related to the outcome of the war, such as the apportionment of territories north and east of Italy.

Individuals associated with this broad heading include: Ettore Levi, Armando Diaz, Sem Benelli, Camillo Pariset, Giovanni De Caesaris, Leone Wollemborg, Louis Raemaekers, Alberto Lumbroso, and Silvio Crespi.

For related materials that are not linked directly to the war, see the other categories "History," "Italy -- History," and "Italy -- Politics and Government."
