Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | The collection was a gift of Eileene Osborne and James R. Hosley, III in 2010. |
| Custodial history: | Some of the materials in this collection were found in Clifford Edmonds’ home after his death. His surviving family members collected the materials and began researching their family history and genealogy. |
| Processing information: | The collection was initially processed and described in 2019 by Patricia McIvor and Marlene Lopes, Special Collections Librarian at Rhode Island College. At that time, materials were removed from scrapbooks and rehoused in polyester viewing folders. The original order and arrangement of these materials was retained. The collection was redescribed, some photographs put into new archival enclosures, and items reboxed in 2023 by Special Collections intern, Melissa Moniz, under the supervision of Digital Archivist and Special Collections Librarian, Veronica Denison. Further biographical information on the Edmonds family was provided by Rhode Island College students, Cecile Montenegro, Jenna Howard, Waphama Tucker, Jashar Read, and Melanie Marshall during their First Year Seminar class “Raid the Collections in 2024” taught by Professor Amy Barlow. The students researched this collection as part of the class. |
