The Carolyn Maness and Jean Gordon Papers span from 1999 to 2004 with the bulk dating between 1999 and 2001. The collection documents the campaign, headed by Carolyn Maness and Jean Gordon, to save the Chancellor's House from demolition. It is organized into ten folders containing research materials, official and alumnae correspondence, event materials, newspaper clippings, and photographs relating to the preservation of the Chancellor's House. The Harry Barton Research folder contains Jean Gordon's research into the life of Harry Barton, the architect. The folder has information about his family and work and consists of written and pictorial materials. The Official Correspondence folders contain letters from Jean Gordon, Carolyn Maness, and other alumnae to Chancellor Patricia Sullivan, the UNCG Board of Trustees, architectural historians, UNCG faculty, and Governor Jim Hunt from 1999 to 2000. The Alumnae Correspondence folders are comprised of letters written by UNCG alumnae stating their opinions concerning the destruction of the Chancellor's House. The Afternoon on the Lawn folder includes photographs, correspondence, a newspaper clipping, and a flyer related to the 2001 student-run event supporting the campaign. The newspaper clippings from the Greensboro News and Record discuss the controversy over the decision to demolish the Chancellor's House. The photographs taken in March 2001 are of the exterior and interior of the building.
