Friends, we need your help to preserve Berry's history for years to come! We have just 19 days to raise $3,800 to support digitizing film from the 1920s-1930s. These films were selected because of their poor physical condition and potential historical significance. They feature:
🔹 Martha Berry herself
🔹 Students at work, in class and at play
🔹 Various campus scenes including Roosevelt Cabin, the Ford buildings, Oak Hill, and the chapels

By making a gift today, big or small, you can make your mark in Berry’s history and help continue its legacy. Plus, when you make a gift of $5 or more, you’ll receive an cow magnet!

For this home, she hopes that this may be a place “to spend the weekends, taking with me the workers with whom I need to get in closer touch to plan future work. It would be a place w...

Our most recent LOTW is up! In it, Cassie tells us about a female astronomer with ties to Martha Berry. http://crowd-ed.org/lotw-80-look-to-the-stars/

While editing last week, I came across a long letter with a signature that I couldn’t quite make out. I noticed, however, that it had been sent from the Harvard Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was pretty certain that the name was Annie J. Cannon, so I looked up that name and the observato...

Visit our blog to check out the latest Letter of the Week! http://crowd-ed.org/lotw-79-auntee-martha/

When I was reviewing documents one of our newest hires edited, I came across one letter in particular, which piqued my interest. This letter is only addressed to “Auntee.” This is clearly a term of endearment, however, there is nothing in the letter itself that points to a specific person. I had a h...

This letter stood out to me for a few reasons. While it is well known and documented that the current Harbin Clinic in Rome, GA is named for Dr. W.P. Harbin because of his hard work in the Rome community, Dr. Harbin’s contribution to the Berry schools is much less known. The rhetoric is endless from...
