Department of History records 1956-1987, (bulk 1974-1986).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56914888

This series contains the records of the History Department at Clemson University. The bulk of the materials are from 1974-1986, with a small amount dating from 1956. The collection contains correspondence (general and specific faculty), departmental memoranda, committee minutes, and information about courses, committees and other administrative matters. The folders are arranged alphabetically by subject in the container list that follows. The one oversize item, a poster, relates to a seminar about Native Americans, for which additional information can be found in Publications - Ephemera. Material about courses and booklists reveals the intellectual changes that occurred from the mid-1970's through the mid-1980's. Correspondence in the early 1980's reflects the effects of budget shortfalls on the department and the university. Approximately 1/3 of a foot of material has been separated for inclusion with the records of the College of Liberal Arts. One folder of Ernest Lander's correspondence was removed for addition to personal papers.

3 cu. ft. 10 boxes 1 oversize item.

From the 1960's the department's emphasis has been relatively non-regional. Southern history is taught, but there is not a heavy emphasis on the Civil War or upon individuals from South Carolina. The department...
