Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
Roberta Dearborn Mitchell (1899-1991) was a student at Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College from 1919 to 1925 when she graduated with a teaching degree. The photographs and ephemera in the scrapbook give researchers a good look at the life of an Eastern student in the early 1920s. The photographs include several of George D. Smith's photos of student excursions from 1924. This collection can be used with other materials from the same era including the Ruth Knarr Yerky Papers and the Grace Robinson Shearin Scrapbook for a more complete picture of Eastern during that time.
