Acknowledgments

The John Ridley Stroop Collection was entrusted to Center for Restoration Studies in late summer 2013 by J. Ridley’s granddaughter, Mrs. Catherine Rall, of Abilene, TX.

The Stroop Collection is one of those rare collections with breadth and depth in so many areas.  From snapshots to scrapbooks, from audio to letters, from paper to dimensional artifacts, from religion to psychology and back again, and from Tennessee to Texas, this collection was a joy to discover and process.  About the time Milliken Special Collections received this treasure, Kayla Sanderson joined our team as a graduate student worker.  I knew this collection would be a perfect first processing job for her.  She tackled it enthusiastically and did a superb job.  She first assessed the collection, documenting arrangement and provenance.  She then arranged, processed and rehoused all materials in the collection.   Finally, in addition to research and writing, she scanned the items showcased here.  Along the way Donald Simpson provided technical expertise, Chad Longley provided preservation and storage advice, and Mac Ice served as cheerleader and general adviser.
