Last week, I processed a portion of The Marilyn E. White Collection. Years ago, Marilyn White was a volunteer at MCLM that donated a collection that consists of books, dolls, plaques, pamphlets, stamps, photographs and brochures. Judging from the items within the collection Ms. White was an Olympic participant and singer. The portion of the collection I processed consisted mostly of stamps that portray African American leaders.
The pushing of inventories into the database continues. As apart of this process I am given the opportunity to handle collections. One interesting collection was the Anne N. and William L. Smith Collection. circa 1900-2008. Anne Nichols Smith, a teacher, and her husband William L. Smith, a physician in private practice, were active in Los Angeles community service organizations. The collection primarily consists of books, magazines, and pamphlets by and about African Americans. The collection also contains medical equipment. Some of the medical equipment included in fascinating! Like the clamps and speculum, need I mention the vials of sulfate and syringes.
