Microfilm Reels 1-13 |
Hindman Settlement School records were collected and organized
in 1982. Those having administrative, legal or historical value
were microfilmed at the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives
and the originals then returned to Hindman. The resultant master
microfilm negative is owned by Berea College. A use copy is available
in Hutchins Library's Department of Special Collections and Archives.
Because Berea College does not own the copyright for the material
contained in this microfilm edition, it is the responsibility of
the researcher to secure permission to publish from Hindman Settlement
School or its successors and assigns.

This series consists of publications, correspondence, and the
writings of staff, students, and other individuals associated with
the Hindman Settlement School. Also included in this series are
genealogical data of various families from Knott County, miscellaneous
short histories of Hindman, and a guest book listing visitors to
the school for the period 1911-1948.
Of particular interest are a collection of poems by Ann Cobb and the works
of Josiah Combs, Lucy Furman, Raymond McLain, Katherine Pettit, James Still,
May Stone, and Elizabeth Watts. For the most part, this file does not begin
adequately to reflect the intellectual creativity of these people but is only
a sampling of their work. Specifically, the file consists of published creative
writing pieces, papers on the settlement school and related topics, and unpublished
essays and reports.
Additionally, this series also consists of student writings in the form of
classroom assignments on the history of the school or biographies of key persons
associated with Hindman. There are however, a few examples of creative writing
done by Hindman Students and alumni; for example the series includes two plays,
written by Una Ritchie, entitled "A Homespun Romance," n.d., and "A
Mountain Play in One Act," n.d. (Una Ritchie also wrote the anniversary
pageant. See Series II.)
Supporting materials include newspaper clippings giving biographical information
on various staff and some correspondence files of staff and visitors to Hindman.
Additional biographical data may be gleaned from the personal reminiscences
of staff and students; for example, an entire portion of the Elizabeth Watts
documentation deals with a celebration given in her honor on May 17, 1980.
As part of this event, Miss Watts and alumni provided statements about their
work and experiences at Hindman. This series is arranged alphabetically, with
guest book, genealogies, and brief histories on the Hindman Settlement School
at the end of the Series.
