The Ervin Family Papers, (1875-2015), are now processed and ready for researchers.  A finding aid and several digitized selections from the papers are available on DigitalCommons@ACU.

These papers contain several folders of photographs from the early 20th century of the Ervin family, some correspondence (including World War II correspondence), gravestone photographs, genealogical information, and a 1904 marriage certificate.

This collection represents the Ervin family, whose ancestry traces back to Scotland. This collection especially concerns the family of Jonas Lafayette and Mary Hamilton Ervin, Ruth and Abbie Ervin, and the history of Ervin Ranch.

Troy Wade and our other graduate assistants and student archives employees make it possible for us to provide increased access to our holdings. We have more student produced finding aids coming in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
