This addition to the papers of Emily Couric was given to Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, by Dr. George
Beller, Charlottesville, Virginia, on December 10, 2009.
The papers of Emily Couric (1947-2001) consists of ca. 2,132 items (8
Hollinger boxes, ca. 3.5 linear feet), 1985-2006, and undated. The collection
contains drafts of articles by Couric [for the National Law Journal?] based on her
own experience with joint custody of children and teenaged driver accidents;
campaign materials; news clippings pertinent to her political campaigns and to her
activities as a member of the Charlottesville, Virginia, School Board, and as a
Virginia State Senator; State Senate speeches; letters of encouragement from friends
and constituents after her pancreatic cancer diagnosis; memorial resolutions;
letters of appreciation and condolence to Dr. George Beller on her death, October
18, 2001; and letters announcing memorial contributions to the University of
Virginia Cancer Center Patient Support Services.
A series of framed items include a condolence letter from George W. Bush, a letter of
support from Bill Clinton, and memorial resolutions from the United States Senate,
the Virginia State Senate, the Virginia Democratic Party, and Scottsville, Virginia
Town Council. Copies were made of these items before their return to the donor.
This collection is arranged alphabetically by folder heading and chronologically
within folders. The notebooks of news clippings kept by Emily Couric's staff were
kept in the order in which they were placed in the notebook, even though some date
ranges overlap.
