Bridgman Family Papers
Collection
Identifier: RG 30-349
Scope and Contents
This is a sizable collection. The Bridgman Family Papers document the family’s work as missionaries to South Africa over nearly a century (1860-1949). Included in these family papers are a good many biographical and genealogical histories of each member of the extended family. Unevenness exists in the collection, however, in part because the bulk of the materials primarily document the work and accomplishments of Frederick Brainerd Bridgman (1869-1925) and his wife, Clara Davis Bridgman...

Collection
Identifier: RG 10

The records of the Conservatory of Music span the years 1841 to the present, the earliest records consisting of printed catalogs and concert programs.

The bulk of the collection, concentrated in the period 1930 to 1990, details the administrative and educational...

Jacob "Jack" Radunsky Papers
Collection
Identifier: RG 30-259
Scope and Contents
The Jacob “Jack” Radunsky Papers, 1895, 1908-1995, mainly document the pianoforte performance and teaching career of Radunsky over nearly three decades. Consisting of six record series, the largest of which is his correspondence, the collection is on the whole uneven. There are gaps in the record relating to Professor Radunsky’s teaching and service to Oberlin College. The biographical file (Series I) helps to fill some of the holes in his life and times.

Jewel LaFontant-MANkarious Papers
Collection
Identifier: RG 30-310
Scope and Contents
The papers of Jewel LaFontant-MANkarious relate primarily to the latter portion of her career. The papers include correspondence, handwritten notes, speeches and addresses, news clippings, and photographs and other non-textual material; the bulk of the historical material dates from the late 1970s to her death in 1997. There is very little material related to her days as a student at Oberlin College (1939-43), and there is no material from her childhood or her studies at the University...

Joe Hickerson Papers
Collection
Identifier: RG 30-453
Scope and Contents
Joe Hickerson, with the help of an assistant, arranged and described his papers prior to transferring them to the Archives, with the inclusion of an item-level inventory (available upon request). It appears that this arrangement was at some point amended or disturbed. Thus Hickerson’s inventory will not always reflect the actual contents of a given series. Only minor changes to the original arrangement were made for clarity. The few photographs were kept with the related textual material...

Oberlin Shansi Memorial Association Records
Collection
Identifier: RG 15-001
Scope and Contents
The records of OSMA date from 1881 to the present and relate to the activities of Oberlinians in Asia during that period.
Earlier records discuss missionary work of the Oberlin Band: evangelism, teaching, medical work, and the operation of "opium refuges" in the Shanxi province of China. The bulk of this collection deals with the OSMA, which was formed as a living memorial to Oberlin missionaries who died in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900.
Administrative and financial...

Robert P. Fountain Papers
Collection
Identifier: RG 30-368
Scope and Contents
The Robert P. Fountain Papers document his career as a singing teacher and director of choral music, and to a lesser degree his early life. The bulk of his papers consist of thirteen scrapbooks, most of which his son, Robert H. Fountain, assembled. According to Bob, “the scrapbooks are full of how my father’s talents, drive, and personality affected those who studied with him, performed under his direction, attended performances, or knew him as a human being.” Included here, too, are two...
