- Description:
- The Slack Family Collection relates to several generations of the Slack and Bradfield families. It focuses mainly on the life, career, and interests of Dr. Henry R. Slack, Jr., and his wife, Ruth Bradfield. It covers the wide range of activities in which they were involved, and there are items from such institutions as Southern Female College and LaGrange Female College. A majority of the collection is devoted to personal correspondence to and from family members, predominantly to Dr. and Mrs. Slack, Jr. The collection illuminates many aspects of local historical interest, but also gives a broad picture of this family’s involvement in state and national affairs and events. These papers were preserved for several decades by Arline Taylor Slack, wife of Searcy Bradfield Slack, Jr., in the family home in Decatur and donated by her son, William P. Slack.
