- Description:
- This collection provides glimpses of the social lives of residents a southern textile town during much of the twentieth century. Schedules of events, rosters of participants and tournament results document the types of activities offered by the CEA. Histories of various CEA facilities and events can be traced through scrapbooks and news clippings. Biographical sketches of instructors and managers enhance the historical record. The Coleman Library and the CEA Kindergarten are particularly well documented through clippings, annual reports and photographs. Two boxes (1 linear foot) of records received as "Coleman Library miscellaneous files" are a source for history of Callaway Mills. Articles and reports prepared by Callaway Mills staff include, "Armed Forces Centers, 1943-1946", "Status Reports: Staff & Products, 1951-1961" and "Brief Facts About Callaway Mills, 1949". Other "miscellaneous files" items include clippings from "progress editions" and "historical editions" of the LaGrange Daily News and deal with historic houses, individuals and local trivia. SPECIAL NOTE - RELATED COLLECTIONS AT TROUP COUNTY ARCHIVES The Troup County Archives' collection designated TRP-41 contains several hundred photographs depicting Callaway Mills and Callaway Educational Association activities and facilities, including Coleman Library. Information about specific events may also be found in the LaGrange Daily News.
