Scope and Content Note

The Virginia Bellune Collier Papers reflects her time as a student at Winthrop College, centering particularly on her senior year, 1929-1930. Virginia Bellune Collier (1909-1999) was a 1930 Winthrop College graduate. The collection consists of 9 small black and white photographs, one large (8’x10”) color photograph (reunion?); 27 printed items, a few handwritten (including a Winthrop Students’ Handbook, various cultural event programs, Baccalaureate and Commencement programs, and several invitations); and a leather-bound scrapbook entitled “My Memories” with the Winthrop University, the South Carolina College for Women’s seal, full of notes, mementos, programs, and news clippings. The initial collection also included two artifacts, a Winthrop College ring (1930) and a Winthrop College pin (ca1930). The Virginia Bellune Collier Papers offer a great snapshot into the life of a student in the mid to late 1920s before the Great Depression.
