expand/collapse Expand/collapse Biographical Information

John C. Campbell (1867-1919) was born in La Porte, Ind., on 14 September 1867 to Gavin and Anna Barbara (Kipp) Campbell, and grew up in Steven's Point, Wisc. He graduated from Williams College in 1892 and received a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Andover Theological Seminary in 1895. That same year, he married Grace H. Buckingham of Stevens Point, Wisc., who died in 1905. He married Olive Arnold Dame of West Medford, Mass., in 1907.

Campbell was a missionary teacher in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. He was principal of a mountain school academy in Joppa, Ala., 1895-1898; taught in public school in Stevens Point, Wisc., 1898-1899; was principal of a mountain academy in Pleasant Hill, Tenn., 1900-1901; and was superintendent of secondary education (1901-1902), dean (1902-1903), and president (1903-1907) of Piedmont College in Demorest, Ga. Campbell received a research grant from the Russell Sage Foundation to study the mountain regions of the South in 1909 and soon became an expert on the economic and social conditions of the Appalachians. He was secretary of Southern Highland Division of the Russell Sage Foundation in Asheville, N.C.; author of the Foundation's survey of conditions in the Southern Appalachians; and organizer of the Conference of Southern Mountain Workers.

Olive Dame Campbell (1882-1954) assisted her husband; founded and directed the John C. Campbell Folk School and related cooperatives at Brasstown, N.C.; and participated in the formation of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. While working with her husband, she collected mountain ballads and, after his death in 1919, prepared the report of his survey for publication.

Through the Conference for Southern Education, the Campbells became interested in the Scandinavian folk school as an alternative to the church and independent settlement school. After her husband's death, Olive Campbell continued his work with the conference and visited Denmark and other Scandinavian countries to study folk schools, 1922-1923. Upon her return, she opened the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, N.C.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Scope and Content

Papers include correspondence; articles, speeches, writings and reports by John C. Campbell and Olive D. Campbell and others; clippings, pamphlets, and near-print material; and a large number of photographs. Also included are diaries, 1908-1909 and 1922-1924, of Olive D. Campbell, the former during her travels in the mountain regions of Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee; the later during her stay in Denmark to study Danish folk schools, and her travels in Sweden, Scotland, and England; and notebooks on American history and on words to folk songs and ballads from eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. The writings series includes a 1923 article on "Midwifery in the Kentucky Mountains" by Mary Breckinridge. The reports series includes materials from the Annual Conference of Southern Mountain Workers, the Council of Southern Mountain Workers, the John C. Campbell Folk School, the Mountain Valley Cooperative, Inc., the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild, and Southern Highlanders, Inc.

Note that both Series 1 and Series 5 contain letters. General correspondence, 1865-1962, is filed in Series 1. Carbon copies of letters written by John C. Campbell, 1909-1919, including correspondence with John M. Glen of the Russell Sage Foundation and Cecil J. Sharp with whom Olive Campbell collaborated with on a 1917 publication on English folk songs of the Southern Appalachians is filed in Series 5. Because these materials are extremely fragile, letters in Series 5 have been microfilmed; researchers are asked to use the microfilm instead of the originals.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 7. Pictures, 1855-1950.

About 3,000 items.

Arrangement: topical.

Photographs of John and Olive Campbell and their family and friends, the towns and schools where John Campbell taught, rural Appalachia, and the John C. Campbell Folk School. The latter two categories comprise the bulk of the pictures, and include nine oversize images and 21 picture albums.

Many of the photographs that depict life in the mountains of Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina were taken in connection with the Campbells' work for the Russell Sage Foundation, ca. 1908-1918. Subject matter includes the difficulties of traveling over rough mountain roads; farming and house-keeping under primitive conditions; and illegal whiskey-making.

The nine folders and five albums that pertain specifically to the John C. Campbell Folk School and its environs provide visual documentation of a wide range of activities at the school: students and teachers in the kitchen and dairy, as well as in the classrooms; musicians, woodcarvers, and other craftspeople; and social and community events, such as folk dances. Among these photographs are nine signed prints by Doris Ulmann who visited the school in 1933. There are also five images that have been tentatively attributed to her. Her subjects include carvers, children, and older people, many fully identified.
