The collection was donated to the Pioneer Room by Virginia Covington. The material was received in a box consisting of 2 binders
that were starting to deteriorate. The documents were moved from the damaged binders and placed in archival file folders
in the original order in which they were found. Most of the family surnames were in alphabetical order. The correspondence
was filed in chronological order. The collection is now in 4 series: Surname files, Civil War, Correspondence and Miscellaneous
articles from Sonia Monroe.
