McAdoo Family Collection

The majority of this collection focuses on Emma Lou Morgan McAdoo, who was in the first graduating class of James B. Dudley Senior Hight School in 1930. There are many items relating to Emma, and also her grandchildren. Of particular note are two items that belonged to Emma's mother, Lola Anne Caldwell: the photograph of her while she was at Bennett College, and her diploma from Bennett in May 1907, signed by President Silas A. Peeler. A significant amount of additional material was contributed in 2024, documenting three generation of the family's professional, civic, and personal activities, including more material on Lola Caldwell Morgan, Emma Morgan McAdoo, and Lola Anne McAdoo.
