Scope and Contents
Series I, Biographical and personal, 1933-2010, undated (#1.1-7.10, 23.1-23.9, 24.1-24.5, F+D.1, DVD-169.1), includes calendars, letters, articles about Longview, student papers, annotated maps, and descriptions of trips taken by Longview with friends and family. Files related to Longview's home invasion show her concern about the gender of the first responders. Material from this incident also include notes of support from friends and family, and her notes regarding working with the police to catch the intruder (#5.5-5.6). See also Series II for diary entries from this time period. Also included is a family genealogy done by Longview's son (#7.7). Longview kept her wall calendars from 1946 to 2004 in dated folders and with them added clippings, student papers, essays, selected letters that may overlap with Series III and Series IV, and other material that act as a snapshot of that year in Longview's life. The calendars are annotated with birthday reminders, appointments, travel dates and locations, letters written, and gardening tasks. Longview took many trips during her lifetime, and wrote day by day descriptions of many of them; some include annotated maps (#1.4, 2.5, 2.6). Also included are articles written about Longview and her work with women and religion, as well as ageism. In 1993 Longview was interviewed by Elinor Artman and Phyllis Rickter about the Unitarian Universalist Association's women and religion resolutions (#6.5). This series is arranged chronologically.
