Florida State University Southern Business History Center.
Biographical notes:
The Southern Business History Center was formed at Florida State University in 1954 to stimulate graduate work and to promote the study of business history and of related social, economic, and political developments in this region. The Center grew out of an effort in Fall of 1953 by the History Department and Social Sciences Committee to collect Southern Business History records and form a center. The committee appointed by the President on February 8, 1954 to form the Center included Norman L. Kilpatrick, Secretary and Maurice M. Vance, Chairman, Frank Allen, Marshall Colberg, James Prothro, and Charles Rovetta. Later members of the committee and participants were Daisy Parker, R.L. Goulding, Robert W. Lovett, Claude A. Campbell, Gertrude P. Meek, and Frank Zitmore. The committee was drawn from the following divisions at F.S.U.: History, Business, Social Sciences, Library, and Political Science. The Center acquired collections that were housed in the Library and processed by Special Collections, including the following: German-American Lumber Company Records; Sydney V. Coxetter Agriculture Collection; Warren Fish Company Records; Faber's Cedar Mill Collection; Monticello Mercantile Store Account Books; Rosasco Family Papers; E.H. Tomlinson Papers; W.H. Lindsey Account Books; Citizens Mutual Insurance Books; the J.L. and G.L. Smith Account Book; and the R.L. Goulding Interviews.
