BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
Name: Chicora College
Title: Catalogs, 1893 - 1929
Extent: 3 boxes
Historical Note: Chicora College was founded as the Presbyterian Female Seminary in Greenville, SC on September 30,1893. That school closed and was reorganized as Chicora College for Young Ladies in 1898. The college remained in Greenville until the fall of 1915.
In 1890 the Presbyterian College for Women was founded in Columbia, SC. In 1910, the name of the school was changed to College for Women. When the school closed in 1915, the Presbyterian Church offered the property to the trustees of Chicora College. At that time, Chicora moved to Columbia, SC onto the property formerly occupied by the College for Women. The name became Chicora College for Women.
In 1930, the Presbyterian Synod of South Carolina recommended that Chicora College be merged with Queens College. From 1930 to 1939, Queens College was known as Queens-Chicora College.
Scope & Content: Includes catalogs from 1893 through 1930, with some volumes missing. Some catalogs have been bound together. Actual titles vary. Queens - Chicora catalogs are filed in Box 30.
Arrangement: Chronological.
Provenance: The Archives for Queens University of Charlotte was established by Rena Chambers Harrell, first librarian for Queens University of Charlotte, and was maintained by the staff of Everett Library. While every effort was made to obtain and preserve materials relating to the history of the college, the archival materials were not systematically organized prior to 1989.
Dr. Mollie C. Davis, Professor of History, was organizing Archives when Hurricane Hugo struck Charlotte in September 1989. The stored materials being assessed were sent off-site to be fumigated and re-boxed. A preliminary list of materials in the Archives formed the basis for work with the collection in place before 1997. These boxes constitute part of the original college archives. Property rights are held by the Archives, Everett Library, Queens University of Charlotte. Photocopies may be made for research purposes, but proper attribution is required if they are used in publication.
Finding Aid: Printed guide available in the Archives Reading Room.
