Papers of Edmund S. Campbell, Accession #3505, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
The papers were transfered to the Manuscripts Department from the School of Architecture's office files in July 1950.
Edmund Schureman Campbell was born in New Jersey October 28, 1884. He received his B.S. (1906) and M.S. (1907) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and spent the year 1911-1912 studying at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. After serving on the faculty of Carnegie Institute of Technology, the Armour Institute of Technology, and as Dean of the Beaux Art Institute of Design in New York, he came to the University of Virginia in 1927 to head the School of Architecture and to be Curator of the Bayly Museum of Fine Arts. He held these positions until his death in 1950.
The Edmund S. Campbell papers consist of ca. 20,000 items. They deal primarily with the University of Virginia's School of Architecture and related matters from 1919 to 1930. Much of the material relates to construction at the University, but also to various national architecture societies, institutes, and museums.
