Acquisition Information
Gift of Eleanor Lee Templeman in 1984.
Eleanor Lee Templeman (b.1907-d.1990) grew up in California and lived in Arlington from 1935 until she died in 1990. She served
as historian of the Society of the Lees of Virginia, and was an active local historian, publishing Arlington Heritage: Vignettes of a Virginia County (1959) and (with Nan Netherton) Northern Virginia Heritage (1966). She contributed many articles to Virginia historical publications, and received awards for her research achievements,
including one from Marymount University (1975), and from the American Association for State and Local History (1983).
The photographs housed in Photograph Group 900 are images taken by Mrs. Templeman as part of her research for four publications:
Virginia Heritage , Arlington Heritage , Virginia Homes of the Lees , and Virginia Heritage Address Book . The collection is 2.5 linear feet, and although the photographs are not dated, the first editions of the books in which
they appeared are from 1959 to 1973.
Images reflect images that appear in the books listed above, but it is not a complete set. Some photographs in the collection
are not in any book, and not every image in every book is represented in this collection. There are also some reprints of
images in other collections such as the Library of Congress and the National Archives, but they are very few. Many photographs
have notations on the back regarding how the image will show in one of Templeman's books, and several photographs have crop
markings on the images themselves.
PG 900 is arranged into six series: one for each book, one for general research photographs that were never used in publications,
and one of unidentified photographs. Within each series, images have been organized alphabetically by location ( Series 1, Northern Virginia Heritage ; Series 4, Virginia Homes of the Lees ; Series 5, Additional Research Photographs ) or alphabetically by subject ( Series 2, Arlington Heritage and Series 3, Virginia History Address Book ).
