Bio/Historical Note

Claudia Frazier Bailey was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Frederick Claude Bailey and Dorothy Frazier Bailey.

During her years, she was involved in the Fencing Club as a team captain, she was the editor-in-chief of the Bluestone yearbook, and was elected historian of Zeta Tau Alpha. Additionally, she was designated by her peers and faculty to be a representative of Madison College for the "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities" as a senior and was also designated as an "Outstanding Student" by her class peers, among other organization involvements. After her time at Madison College, she earned her doctorate and was a faculty member in the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville biology department. She served as the chair of the Ozark Literacy Council for two years and remains a member of the Board of Directors for the organization as Outgoing Chair.

Scope and Content

The Claudia Frazier Bailey Photographs, 1964, consist of six photographs of Bailey and her friends during Bailey's senior year as Madison College.

One photograph depicts three women posing in the snow. Photographs of note include one where Bailey is smoking, wearing sunglasses, and playing the bongos while her friends are laid out on the floor, and another where Bailey and a friend are doing a stunt in which the friend is standing on Bailey's bent knees.
