This collection was a gift from Eleanor (Joyce) Gibson to the Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia Library in May 2018.

University of Virginia Faculty asked UVA graduate and local high school french teacher, Eleanor (Joyner) Gibson if she would be interested in opening a bookstore on the UVA grounds in the early 1960's. In addition to starting the Newcomb Hall Bookstore, she also taught two french classes for the University. Gibson met her husband through Charlottesville friends and claims that the University played a big role in her life.
