Content Description
The Dale Hill Papers contain recordings, notes, research material, forms, consent waivers, articles, and photographs all relating to the beginning of co-education at the University of Virginia . The bulk of the materials are the audiovisual content, which were maintained previously on audio cassette, DVD, CD, and flash drive carriers at the time the collection was donated to the Library. The audiovisual content documents three events related to co-education. There are audio recordings from a 30th reunion celebration held in 2004 for the graduating class on 1974 . Women were encouraged to come to a microphone to share their experiences. There is unedited footage of the 2-day event, "Celebrating the Women of the University: 40 Years of Full Co-Education, A Century of Accomplishments" held on 2011 March 25-26 . The event included panel discussions hosted by the UVA Alumni Association, two of which are documented here. Panelists for the first presentation, "U.Va. Decision Time: To Admit or Not to Admit... Women", were all current or former UVA administrators with ties to coeducation decisions. Panelists for the second presentation, "Wahoo Women: The Early Years", were women alumnae from the first fully coeducated class admitted to the College in 1970. Also included are interviews of members of the Class of '74 (men and women) for an event hosted by Dale Hill called, "Pioneer Women at Mr. Jefferson's University", held at Rosemont Manor in 2012 March , as well as location footage from the event.
