Dates: |

|

Contents: |
The collection consists of a memoir of Alonzo Church, D. D. (1793-1862) minister and former president of the University of
Georgia, was written by William L. Mitchell for Reverend John S. Wilson and the Presbyterian Synod of Georgia on 20 September
1865, as part of the Synod's project "to prepare a memorial record of each one of the ministerial members who have departed
this life since the erection of the Synod." Included in this collection is a Xerox of an early typescript of the original,
a recent typescript, copy of a cover letter to Dr. E. M. Coulter, and note from Dr. Coulter pertaining to the memoir. This
memoir, although somewhat fragmentary, is an important record of the life of Alonzo Church, his university policies and administration,
and, by inference, Athens during the antebellum period.

Dates: |
1939-1940 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of over 150 oral history interviews. In 1939 and 1940 the W.P.A. workers went to the homes and businesses
of men and women, both black and white, and asked them to tell about their lives and business experiences. The stories were
written down in the words and dialect used. The stories were later edited, which included changing the real names of the persons
mentioned and changing some of the titles. The majority of the persons interviewed lived in the Athens area. Some of those
interviewed remembered the days of slavery and the Civil War. Others discussed their jobs, such as farmer, washwoman, principal,
and insurance agent. All of the transcripts are photocopies.

Miller - Morris collection
|
Requires cookie* |
| |
Creator: |

|
| |
Dates: |
1847-1961 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of correspondence, notes, writings, genealogical information, printed material, newspaper and magazine
clippings, accounts, receipts, cancelled checks, and a wide range of miscellanea and family memorabilia relating to the Miller
and Morris families. Of the 19,994 items in the collection, 9,500 are cancelled checks.
The collection is in three parts, the first and largest being the Sylvanus Morris division. A great deal of incidental information
about old Athens can be gleaned from his papers. The correspondence in this section is principally between Dr. Morris and
his wife, Annie Lewis Minor Morris. There are also a few Civil War letters, including a photostat of one written by Robert
E. Lee a few months after the war that includes General Lee's views about the question of leaving the country, as many prominent
Southerner's did at that time. Several boxes of legal papers and notes relate to Dr. Morris' law practice. The second section
of the collection contains genealogical information, primarily pertaining to the Morris, Minor, and Lewis families. Of particular
note is the plantation book of Reverend William Douglas of Virginia compiled during the 1780's which gives household and plantation
accounts, and lists of slaves. Recipes, remedies, marriages, births, deaths, and illnesses are also recorded in detail. Many
of Dr. Morris' lecture notes have survived, along with numerous historical and religious manuscripts, a great many of them
in outline form. The third section contains material relating to Dr. Morris' granddaughter, Anne Miller. A point of interest
in this division is the large collection of postcards, both American (mostly Virginia and Georgia) and European. Her notes
and a copy of her thesis are also among her writings. Most of the correspondence is between Miss Miller and her mother Mary
Douglas Morris Miller, and dates from 1947-1961. The remainder of the collection is comprised of Miss Miller's artwork, primarily
paintings and sketches. Three of her large paintings are stored separately in the Special Collections Division of the Hargrett
Library. One large box of family objects (baby shoes, old battle paraphernalia, fans, cases, etc.) is also available.

Howell Cobb family papers

Cobb family |
|
| |
Dates: |
1793-1932 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of Howell Cobb and the Cobb family from 1793 to 1932. The bulk of the collection is correspondence,
mostly addressed to Howell Cobb, dating from 1839 to 1868. There is a large amount of correspondence between Howell Cobb,
his wife Mary Ann Lamar, and her brother John B. Lamar. The letters discuss politics in both Georgia and the United States,
the Confederate States of America including its formation and administration, and information on Cobb's business interests,
especially his plantations. After Cobb's death in 1868, the remainder of the correspondence is between other family members
including John A. Cobb, Howell Cobb, Jr., Alexander Erwin, and Mary Erwin discussing family and social news, business interests,
and legal cases. While the correspondence primarily documents the Cobb, Lamar, Erwin, and Barrow faimilies, there is also
a large amount of correspondence from the Jackson, Hull, Rootes, Lumpkin, King, Pope, Rutherford, Prince, and Nisbet families.
The earliest material includes indentures and land grants (1793-1829) relating to Zachariah Lamar's business interests.
The clippings do not focus on Howell Cobb, with the very rare exception. These seem to have been donated by family but are
very general in nature. The journals and diaries are from family members and friends.
