Alleene C. Jones Scrapbooks
Scope and Contents
Clipping scrapbooks compiled by Alleene C. Jones of Norfolk, Virginia. Scrapbook 1 (1912-1936) primarily chronicles conventions and annual meetings of the Business and Professional Women's Club of Norfolk from 1923-1936, although there are also clippings relating to local history and theater. Ephemera from Scrapbook 1 includes convention programs, ribbons, a pin, an invitation, and a photograph. Scrapbooks 2-4 include obituaries and deaths of primarily local notable figures from 1922-1947 and 1971-1977. Scrapbook 5 includes clippings of local engagements, weddings, birthdays, and other social events from 1931-1936. Scrapbook 6 includes clippings on events in Norfolk from 1940-1941, along with notecards from Jones's involvement in the Business and Professional Women's Club, and programs on the Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Box 4 includes a 1930-1931 scrapbook that appears to have belonged to Nathaniel Montier Caffee, a mathematics schoolteacher at Fredericksburg High School in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
