Lives on Letterhead: A Reflection of Family Business in the South from the Newcomb Archives One of the collections housed in the Newcomb Archives is the collection of Newcomb College Student Records, dating from 1895-1925. As in all archival collections, this collection shows us the past -- glimpses of the dreams and hopes of generations to come before us. One way that this collection allows this sort of reflection is through its letterheads, the very stationery on which parents and their daughters wrote to the College. These colorful pages provide information about the family business or the employer, usually of the father- and by extension information about the whole of the commercial South. (NEW! Februrary 2004!)
