Dale Hill Papers
Content Description
The Dale Hill Papers contain recordings, notes, research material, forms, consent waivers, articles, and photographs all relating to the beginning of co-education at the University of Virginia. The bulk of the materials are the audiovisual content, made available here, which were maintained previously on audio cassettes, DVDs, CDs, and a flash drive at the time the collection was donated to the Library. The audiovisual content document three different events related to co-education. The first is a garden party for the first graduated class of women held in 2004 for their 30th reunion. Women were encouraged to come to a microphone to share their experiences. The second event is unedited full footage of the 2-day panel discussion hosted by the UVA Alumni Association in March 2011. Panelists were all current or former UVA administrators with ties to coeducation decisions. The files of the last event document a presentation at Rosemont Manor in March 2012 hosted by Dale Hill; panel consisted of members of the Class of ’74 (men and women) and contains individual interviews and footage from the event.
