Papers, 1849-1954.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31277020

Collection primarily consists of the papers of Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, Episcopal minister, author, educator, and founder of the Chamberlayne School for boys (later St. Christopher's School) in Richmond, Va. Chamberlayne's correspondence, 1904-1939, contains letters from his siblings, especially Lewis Parke Chamberlayne, as well as from a network of college and secondary school teachers in Virginia and beyond. Along with correspondence pertaining to the school, these letters illuminate the history of the concept of masculinity--including fatherhood and the education of boys--in the first third of the 20th century. Also included are letters, 1897-1904, to Chamberlayne's mother, Mary Walker (Gibson) Chamberlayne, from her children; letters, ca. 1922- 1936, to Chamberlayne's son, Edward Pye Chamberlayne, from relatives and girl friends; and correspondence, 1912-1938, of Chamberlayne's wife, Elizabeth Breckinridge (Bolling) Chamberlayne, which contains letters to and from her son Edward and his wife. Also included are notes and correspondence for the monograph, Ham Chamberlayne - Virginian (1932), and several Virginia parish vestry books that Chamberlayne edited for publication.
