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.
