Florence Barber Diary, 1902, 1901
Full text linkThis diary was formerly described as an unattributed diary and entitled: Diary (Portsmouth, Va.), 1901, but has now been attributed to Florence Barber of Norfolk, Virginia. In brief daily entries she talks about the weather, chores, and social life, trips to town, church, attending meetings, etc. In August she went to visit churches and schools in Georgia and Alabama, like Atlanta University and Spelman College, both historically black schools. She also mentions teaching music, attending educational meetings in Portsmouth and being elected president of the local YMCA. September 3 is the last entry in this diary.Research conducted by William and Mary students in 2011 pointed to Florence Barber as the owner and author of this diary. Their research also corrected that the diary was actually from 1902, not 1901 and that the author lived in Norfolk, not Portsmouth, Virginia. The diary was transcribed and made available online in 2012.For a more detailed description from staff as well as description and excerpts from the diary provided by the seller, please see digital item:

Trace and major element analysis for rock samples from Lodwar and its environs, Turkana County, Kenya
No full text53 of 69 rock samples collected in the Lodwar region (Turkana County, Kenya) in February to June 2018 were processed and analysed to assess their chemical composition. The samples were finely ground and analysed for major elements including Na, Mg, Al, P, S, K, Ca, Fe, and Mn, as well as trace elements such as Ti, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, and Pb. The analytical work was conducted at the International Centre of Agriculture and Forestry (ICRAF) laboratory using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results, quality control measures included meticulous sample grinding, calibration of XRD instruments, and the use of certified reference materials. This dataset provides valuable insights into the elemental composition of the rock samples, which is crucial for understanding their potential influence on groundwater quality in the region.
The XRD analysis facilitated the identification of key minerals present in the rock samples, such as feldspars, micas, and oxides. These minerals are critical for understanding the geochemical behavior of the rocks. Their presence and abundance influence the weathering processes and the subsequent release of elements into groundwater. For example, high concentrations of feldspar can lead to increased levels of potassium and sodium in groundwater, while the presence of iron oxides can impact water coloration and quality. This dataset provides additional insights into the mineralogical and elemental composition of the rocks, which is crucial for predicting their impact on groundwater quality and understanding the potential geochemical interactions within the region.

Florence D. Richard letter to Lucile Atcherson, August 7, 1914
No full textFlorence D. Richard, the President of the Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1914, sent this letter to Lucile Atcherson of the Franklin County Woman's Christian Temperance Union on August 7, 1914. Richard asserts that she and the other women of the temperance movement in Ohio would continue to support the suffragists. Richard tells Atcherson that she is glad the two organizations were supportive and on good terms, and affirms that she would continue to do all she could to support the cause of suffrage.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
