Details
- Abstract / Summary
- The Alice Kelley papers date from 1926 to 2002 and measure 20 linear inches. The bulk of the papers consist of diaries Kelley kept from 1926 through 2001, a record of an Iowa woman from her childhood through her elderly years. The diaries include reports on the weather, social activities, appointments and both local and national events, including President Nixon’s resignation August 8, 1974 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The papers also include the transcript of an oral history interview Kelley gave to Ilene Hammond of the History Committee of the First United Methodist Church in 2002. Kelley reminisces about her early years, attending school, living on the Iowa River, going to Girl Scouts and joining the Church. She also recounts working at both the University of Iowa and the Iowa City Press Citizen.
