Katherine Kitchen Agne and Jean Ann Kitchen Hardison photographs
-
Not requestable
Scope and Contents
A photograph booklet (developed by Gitchell-Lee Studios in Harrisonburg) comoprising 15 photographs documenting one or both of the Kitchen sisters' (Katherine Kitchen, Jean Ann Kitchen) time at Madison College.
The photographs document campus views, off-campus trips to the mountains, and an unidentified football game.
The booklet appears to have been detached from a scrapbook page due to the black paper remnants on the booklet. "Katherine Kitchen Agne 1959" is written on the back of the booklet. While this note suggests that the photos belonged to Katherine Kitchen, she did not attend Madison College after 1957. Her sister Jean Ann Kitchen attended from 1955-1959 and resembles one of the people present in several of the photographs. For this reason, the collection title references both sisters.
