Scope and Contents:

The Mary Knarr Yerkey Papers were donated to the University Archives by Mrs. Yerkey (Mrs. William T. Yerkey) of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky in August 1978. This was a carefully preserved collection consisting of a number of photographs and memorabilia from Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and Teachers College, 1924-28, the years Mrs. Yerkey was a student here.

This collection is divided into two series: Photographs and Publications/Memorabilia. Descriptions of the series precede the inventories and give more detail of the contents of each. This collection gives a brief composite of Mrs. Yerkey's years as a co-ed from a picture of the freshmen class, 1924, to herself in cap and gown upon her graduation. The Memorabilia series contains items relating to the social and academic climate of Eastern at that time.
