Acquisition Information
A small portion of the collection related to her work on Rooted on Bluestone Hill was donated by Nancy Bondurant Jones in 2004. The bulk of the collection was donated by Martin Jones and Randy Jones, Nancy's
sons, in May 2017.
Processing Information
The initial accession of the Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers was processed by former Special Collections Librarian Chris Bolgiano
in March 2005. The 2017 donation that comprises the bulk of the collection was combined with the original accession. The collection,
as a whole, was donated in good condition and required minimal preservation work. The preservation work that was done included
removing tape and rusty staples or paperclips from the papers. Loose papers have been interfiled with corresponding subject
files. Duplicate items in the collection were discarded. Any Social Security Numbers in the collection were redacted and the
original documents discarded. Education records for the Shenandoah Electric Company Scholarship have been removed. It appeared
as if Jones was a reader for the scholarship applications. All documents of a personal nature, specifically financial and
medical, were returned to the donors. The original arrangement of the collection has been maintained where possible. Books
have been cataloged separately. Some loose items found in books have been interfiled in related folders. All these items are
identified in their corresponding folders. All media items are pending processing and reformatting.
In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering
campaign in the spring of 2017. The 2004 portion of this collection was previously cataloged as SC 5013.
Appraisal Information
Due to duplication in the Daily News-Record
and other periodicals, a collection of scrapbooks containing exclusively newspaper clippings of Jones's articles was returned
to the donors.
Nancy Bondurant Jones (1930-2017) was a well-known writer and historian in the Shenandoah Valley. She was born to Dr. Charles
H. and Therma Barclay Bondurant in Roanoke. In 1956, she married Phillip Lawrence Jones, who passed away in 1979. She had
two daughters, three sons, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren at the time of her death in December 2017.
Jones began her extensive teaching and writing career by getting her Bachelor of Arts at Shepherd College in West Virginia
in 1953. Beyond Shepherd, she did additional work at George Washington University, University of Maryland, James Madison University,
and University of Virginia. She also received fellowships from the University of Virginia and American University.
After twenty-nine years of teaching at schools in Montgomery County, Maryland and in Rockingham County at Elkton and Turner
Ashby high schools, Jones spent the reminder of her career as a freelance writer. Her writing extended across newspapers,
journals, speeches, and published books. Some of her most notable writing was done for the local newspaper, the Daily News-Record in which she wrote a weekly column, "Remembrances," for eleven years based on personal memories supported with historical
fact. After completing her writing for the DNR , she went on to contribute columns and articles to the Staunton-based paper eightyone , and to JMU's Montpelier magazine. Jones also penned over a dozen books for various local businesses and organizations. Some notable titles include:
Rooted on Bluestone Hill: A History of James Madison University (2004), Called to Care: A History of the Nursing Program at Rockingham Memorial Hospital (2004), and Ageless Legacy: A History of Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (2004), all of which were nominated for the Library of Virginia's outstanding non-fiction award.
Outside of her writing career, Jones was active in the local and statewide community. In 1983, she ran unsuccessfully as the
Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates District 27. She was also the former president of the Harrisonburg
Pilot Club, the Rockingham Country Teacher's Association, and the Shenandoah Branch of the National Association of American
Pen Women. Beyond these organizations, Jones served on the boards of Greater Madison at JMU, the Sorenson Institute, and the
Arts Council of the Valley. Personally, she was a member of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church and opened one of the first bed
and breakfasts in the area in the mid-1980s.
For her extensive work through teaching, writing, and community involvement Jones was given a few honors including being cited
in the 1989/1990 edition of Who's Who in American Education
and being named Women of the Year in 2000 by the Working Women's Forum.
In addition to all this work, Jones also worked at JMU for eight years. After retiring from teaching English at Turner Ashby
High School in 1989, Jones began working for JMU in former President Dr. Ronald E. Carrier's office as the social events coordinator
for Carrier and his wife, Edith. Soon she began writing Dr. Carrier's speeches and other documents as requested.In the early
1990s, Dr. Carrier commissioned her to write a book on the history of JMU that would appeal to a general audience. This book,
Rooted on Bluestone Hill , was published in 2004.
The Nancy Bondurant Jones Papers, 1909-2011 (bulk 1991-2007), consist of 19 boxes and 6.53 cubic feet of materials primarily
consisting of research subject files, newspapers and clippings, correspondence, ephemera, speeches, and business and organizational
documents. The bulk of the papers correspond to Shenandoah Valley and Virginia history, although some of the papers relate
to national history including historical events like the Los Angeles Riots and women's suffrage. Other topics, like cancer
or cars, are broader in scope. The collection also includes responses, forms, and letters from JMU alumni, faculty emeriti,
and former university presidents that Jones acquired during her research for Rooted on Bluestone Hill. Arranged in two series, there is overlap in some instances between the two. The original, intended arrangement from the creator
has been maintained where possible. Changes to the arrangement include alphabetizing where needed, slight changes to folder
titles when necessary, and interfiling loose papers with existing files.
The collection is arranged in two series. Series 1: Subject Files is arranged alphabetically. Series 2: Personal Papers is
arranged chronologically and then alphabetically.

for the book, plus a few older items that respondents sent her. These include several letters by Dr. Julian Burruss, the first
president of the university, to Beatrice Marable, the first student applicant at the new school in 1909, and the text of a
speech Ms. Marable gave in 1945. Items from Presidents Duke and Miller are also included in the 2004 portion of the collection.

Carrier, and an interview with Dr. Carrier's son, Michael are incorporated into the collection as well.

"Tweetsie" - Narrow Gauge Railroad Rockingham County
Series 2: Personal Papers, 1979-2011 (bulk 1992-2007), contains papers relating to Jones's professional and personal involvements.
These include annotated drafts of books and articles, documents relating to institutions such as the Sorensen Institute and
the National League of American Pen Women, and speeches and interviews throughout the years. All folders with number titles,
such as the 100s, 200s, etc, contain selections of Daily-News Record columns authored by Jones. Many full-length drafts of her books as well as documents relating to their publication are included.
In addition, a resignation-like thank you letter from Jones to Dr. Carrier is included in General Correspondence, box 17,
folder 1. Media items in this series include floppy disks containing Jones's articles and other written documents as well
as cassette and microcassette tapes that mainly appear to be interviews that Jones conducted with Dr. Ronald E. Carrier, Lucille
Smead, Harry Caplinger, and others.
