                  <text>The Oversized Miscellaneous Materials (Series VCCA006) form part of the Virginia Court Clerks Association Records, a collection spanning 1894–2023 that documents the professional and institutional history of Virginia’s clerks of court. This series contains bound volumes of annual convention minutes (1910–1953; 1954–1961), executive committee minutes (1993–2003), photograph albums, and scrapbooks recording association gatherings such as conventions, banquets, and training events. Full-size newspapers and clippings from 1960, 2005, and 2015 provide contemporary coverage of clerks’ legislative initiatives, organizational milestones, and the public profile of the VCCA. The materials highlight the association’s role in fostering professional development, building collegial networks, and shaping policy within Virginia’s judicial system. Originally collected and maintained by the VCCA Historian, these oversized records were digitized as part of James Madison University’s Histories along the Blue Ridge (HBR) project to ensure long-term preservation and researcher access.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Scans of bibliographic information, Mt. Vernon Musical Union minutes, and signed materials in a book used at the Mt. Vernon Musical Union and probably later at Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music in Dayton, Va. McIntosh R M (Rigdon M.), 1836 – 1889. &lt;em&gt;Tabor: Or, the Richmond Collection of Sacred Music, Designed for the Various Religious Societies of the Southern and South-Western States&lt;/em&gt;. New York: F. J. Huntington and Co., 1867. Third edition.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This copy of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Tabor&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows scans of the front and back pages of the book which contain the signatures of Professor J.K. Ruebush and Hall as well as the formation of the class minutes written inside of it. The signatures found in this book are an example of how people in singing schools would write their names and places and dates in the books which they used to sing with. Singing schools used both round note and shape-note tune books. R.M. McIntosh wrote his books in round note format, not shape-notes, however some of his music was published in &lt;em&gt;The Musical Million&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;magazine in shape-note form.&amp;nbsp;This copy is&amp;nbsp;Courtesy of&amp;nbsp;Bridgewater College Special Collections.&amp;nbsp;A complete scan of another copy of this book is available online through&amp;nbsp;hathitrust.org&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__hdl.handle.net_2027_nc01.ark-3A_13960_t69320c3d&amp;amp;d=DwMGaQ&amp;amp;c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&amp;amp;r=jqLz64mwhc-y0t5K3o-PlA&amp;amp;m=TU5GHTMTlRUR0aZydmUjhMD5fYAAuNq1CzxzGIwS67g&amp;amp;s=bxouK2_92kI2ScjT_JViJB6D3sbawM19FzWs2EZHcBs&amp;amp;e=" data-auth="NotApplicable"&gt;https://hdl.handle.net/2027/nc01.ark:/13960/t69320c3d&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>Administrative, financial, historical, and instructional materials documenting the operations, professional development, and legislative tracking of the Virginia Court Clerks' Association (VCCA) from 1910 through the early 2020s. &#13;
&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

                  <text>Administrative, financial, historical, and instructional materials documenting the operations, professional development, and legislative tracking of the Virginia Court Clerks' Association (VCCA) from 1910 through the early 2020s. &#13;
&#13;
The collection comprises administrative papers including the association's constitution, by-laws, committee lists, directories, and presidential speeches; extensive financial records such as membership dues ledgers, checkbooks, receipts, invoices, and treasurer’s reports; and educational and procedural guides detailing uniform clerk fees, local court practices, and equity procedures. It highlights continuous professional training via the proceedings of the Local Government Officials’ Conferences held at the University of Virginia. Additionally, the collection documents legislative tracking through various General Assembly bill summaries, summaries of the Acts of Assembly of interest to clerks, and government relations contracts. Commemorative files comprise resolutions of respect and memorials for deceased clerks, retirement proclamations, and materials from the association's 50th and 100th anniversary milestones.</text>

                  <text>Series III is comprised of Rockingham County Indentures of Apprenticeship, which were formal contracts created by the overseers to bind poor or orphaned children to a "master" with who they would learn a trade. Their term generally lasted until the age of twenty-one for males and eighteen for females. Trades were typically determined by the apprentice's sex as well. Active labor and semi-skilled artisan positions were reserved for males, while females often served their term learning to sew, spin, knit, or domestic labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Overseers of the Poor collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aid&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.</text>

                  <text>Series III is comprised of Rockingham County Indentures of Apprenticeship, which were formal contracts created by the overseers to bind poor or orphaned children to a "master" with who they would learn a trade. Their term generally lasted until the age of twenty-one for males and eighteen for females. Trades were typically determined by the apprentice's sex as well. Active labor and semi-skilled artisan positions were reserved for males, while females often served their term learning to sew, spin, knit, or domestic labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Overseers of the Poor collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aid&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.</text>

                  <text>Series III is comprised of Rockingham County Indentures of Apprenticeship, which were formal contracts created by the overseers to bind poor or orphaned children to a "master" with who they would learn a trade. Their term generally lasted until the age of twenty-one for males and eighteen for females. Trades were typically determined by the apprentice's sex as well. Active labor and semi-skilled artisan positions were reserved for males, while females often served their term learning to sew, spin, knit, or domestic labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Overseers of the Poor collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aid&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.</text>
