Content Description

This addition is a mix of records from the Department of Physics (RG 6/26) and University Library records (RG 12). It contains lectures, book manuscript, posters, magnets, schematics of the Small library, Umatic tapes and a DVD. The lectures are of John W. Mitchell and the Manuscript Julian V. Nobel of the Physics Department. The audiovisual materials document an interview with Doris Kuhlmann-Wilsdorf from November 11, 1982. Kuhlmann-Wilsdorf was named university professor of applied science in 1966 in the Physics Department and was the first woman named as a full professor at the University of Virginia outside the schools of Medicine and Nursing. The posters and magnets were part of promotional materials of the Sisterhood: Cultural Portraits of African-American Women" exhibit. Schematics are of the library.
