The Beverley Jackson Newspaper Columns collecton contains thirty years of newspaper articles written, collected, and organized
by Beverley Jackson, a Santa Barbara, California, society columnist and and expert on antique Chinese clothing. The collection
also contains two sets of transparencies curated by Jackson for her lectures on Chinese foot binding and a small set of clippings
about Beverley Jackson written by others.
Beverley Jackson was the
Santa Barbara News-Press society writer from 1968 to 1992, documenting the gatherings of celebrities and local personalities for 25 years. As a participant
in Santa Barbara's social scene, her "By The Way..." column provided that perspective in vivid detail to her readers.
In later years, Jackson started one of the major collections of antique Chinese clothing in the United States and became the
Santa Barbara Historical Museum's curator of Asian art.
Originally from Beverly Hills, Berverley Jackson read more than 600 books on China, eventually writing seven nonfiction books
and self-publishing her first novel.
Jackson went on to write for two other Santa Barbara periodicals, the
Santa Barbara Independent and
VOICE, continuing to contribute stories until four months before her death in August 2020.
The Beverley Jackson Newspaper Columns are arranged chronologically by publication date in four (4) series:
1. Santa Barbara News-Press Columns, 1968-1992
2. Santa Barbara Independent Columns, 1992-1994
3. VOICE Magazine Columns, 2016-2020
