Alabama. Dept. of Archives and History. Director. Administrative files, 1901-[Ongoing].

Title: Administrative files, 1901-[Ongoing].

The Alabama Dept. of Archives and History collects and preserves records and artifacts that document the history of the state. The Director of the Ala. Dept. of Archives and History controls and directs the work of the Dept., serves as the chairman of the Local Government Records Commission and State Records Commission and is an ex-officio member of various state historical agencies and boards. Since its establishment in 1901 the programs and emphases at the Archives have shifted on numerous occasions. The administrative files of the Director reflect these changes. The series consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, and publications. The files contain information on department projects, department divisions, state agencies, associations, and organizations. The association files contain information on the director's involvement with state and local history societies and national archival organizations such as the Society of American Archivists, the Alabama Historical Association, and the American Library Association. The series contains the records of all of the Directors of the Alabama Dept. of Archives and History: Thomas M. Owen (1901-1920), Marie Bankhead Owen (1920-1955), Peter A. Brannon (1955-1967), Milo B. Howard (1967-1981), and Edwin C. Bridges who has served as Director since 1982. The records of Thomas M. Owen and Marie Bankhead Owen reflect the diverse activities of the director and the department before increased staffing and the establishment of separate agencies (i.e., Public Library Service) redefined many of these responsibilities. There is a large amount of personal correspondence, routine reference correspondence, and reference material interspersed in the records of the earlier directors. The files of Peter Brannon also include his records as the head of the Military Records Division. There is a small group of material that is too interfiled to be separated by director.

The correspondence subgroup covers the founding years of the society. The main correspondents are Thomas Owen and Peter Brannon. Most of the letters are to various institutions about Alabama items in their collections. One letter worth noting is one from the Smithsonian Institution to Peter Brannon, giving advice on what to do with skeletal remains. The meetings and excursions records subgroup consists of handwritten notes on the group's meetings. It also contains narratives of some of the groups archaeological "excursions." Programs from a few of the society's annual meetings are also in this subgroup. The printing and publications subgroup includes an incomplete set of Arrow Points issues with a 1979 index, catalogs of three exhibitions of the group, and copies of the organization's handbook.

The clippings are about Native Americans and their role in current events and history. The clippings are also concerned with archaeological discoveries in the news. These clippings are particularly interesting for the picture they present of racial attitudes in that time period.

The Alabama Dept. of Archives and History collects and preserves records and artifacts that document the history of the state. Prior to 1981 the department maintained numerous vertical files that were created by various divisions within the department.

Appointments or commissions to the state militia are included.

Gracie, Archibald, 1858-1912. Archibald Gracie papers, 1893-1916.

Title: Archibald Gracie papers, 1893-1916.

The Archibald Gracie papers, 1893-1916, chiefly consist of carbon copies of Archibald Gracie III's correspondence with members of Gracie's Brigade. The bulk of the correspondence dates from 1906 to 1909 and concerns Gen. Gracie and Gracie's Brigade. Most of the correspondence examines the battles of Chickamauga, Drewry's Bluff, and Petersburg and details the younger Gracie's search for members of his father's brigade. Some letters address Gen. Gracie's activities early in the war before his promotion to brigadier general, as well as his pre-Civil War career. Other letters describe the younger Gracie's efforts to establish a national military park at Petersburg. Because these letters frequently included information about Gracie's Brigade, they are found in the Gracie and Gracie's Brigade subgroup. This collection consists only of letters from Gracie, not the replies he received. The family history subgroup consists of copies of Gracie's letters to relatives and others regarding his genealogical research. The Owen-Manly correspondence subgroup contains a few letters written in 1916 from Thomas Owen, Director fo the Alabama Dept. of Archives and History, to R. F. Manly, who had been captain of Co. I, 59th Alabama Infantry Regiment. These letters discuss Owen and Manly's opinion of Gracie's book, The Truth about Chickamauga.

Title: Alabama photographs collection-persons vertical file, [ca.1845- ].

The photographs collection-persons vertical file consists of gelatin silver prints, albumen prints, and copyprints of Alabamians ranging from the obscure to the prominent. Some items may be photographs of painted portraits or engravings. In addition, images of non-Alabamians who may have played a part in Alabama history, e.g., Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, are included. The persons vertical file contains extensive groups of photographs of such people as Marie Bankhead Owen, Joseph Wheeler, Thomas McAdory Owen, and the Bankhead family. A large number of Alabama Governors are represented. One of the weaknesses of this file is the fact that it does not contain many images of recent participants in Alabama history. The majority of the images are from the middle and late 1800's to the early 1900's. Previously, these photographs were included in a picture collection which contained images of people, places and subjects arranged alpha-numerically. In the previous collections items were not specifically identified at the item level and included images that were not photographs.
