Biographical NoteAnne Queen was born in 1911 and raised in Canton, N.C. After ten years of factory work after high school, she earned a bachelor's degree at Berea College in Kentucky and a divinity degree from Yale University Divinity School in 1948. After working three years as Assistant University Chaplain at the University of Georgia and five years as college secretary for the American Friends Service Committee in Greensboro, N.C., she became associate director of the YWCA at the University of North Carolina in 1956. She then became director of the newly merged YMCA-YWCA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1964, a position she retained until her retirement in 1975. Back to TopCollection OverviewCorrespondence, memoranda, reports, notes, financial documents, clippings, pamphlets, publications, pictures, and other documents relating to the career and personal life of Anne Queen. Included are letters to Queen from her mother, Effie Mease Queen, and her sisters, Mattie Ruth Queen and Bonnie Mae Queen. Most of these letters relate to everyday occurances at the Queen house in Canton, N.C., where Anne Queen's mother and sisters lived together. There are also groups of letters from other correspondents that were arranged into letter boxes, as well as other letters that were left unfiled by Queen and have been organized by date. Many of these correspondants were involved in politics, social justice movements, religious service, missionary work, or non-profit service. Notable correspondents include Joel Fleishman, Edward P. Morgan, John Ehle, Al Lowenstein, and William Sloane Coffin. YMCA-YWCA materials relate to Queen's work with the YMCA-YWCA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many memoranda deal with specific YMCA-YWCA initiatives, such as tutoring programs, workshops on world affairs and race relations, national YMCA and YWCA conferences; and staff development programs. These documents also deal with various personnel matters concerning the YMCA-YWCA staff. Also included are personal records relating to the upkeep of Queen's home in Chapel Hill, N.C., as well as bank records, life insurance records, clippings about Queen, and essays written by Queen during her study at Yale University Divinity School. Subject files deal with societal issues that affected Queen's work within the YMCA-YWCA at UNC-Chapel Hill, including race relations and the civil rights movement, free speech and the speaker ban in 1964, international exchange and volunteerism among University students, and the International Handicrafts Bazaar, which was organized by the YMCA-YWCA at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1973 and 1974. Also included are religious-themed materials, including flyers from the Chapel of the Cross, an Episcopal church in Chapel Hill that Queen attended regularly; text from articles and speeches on various theological issues, and publications and correspondence dealing with the role of religious organizations on a secular university campus. Other materials include mailings and publications from schools that Queen attended. Organizations documented in these files include UNC-Chapel Hill, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the Peace Corps, and the Fellowship of Southern Churchmen. AFSC-related materials include brochures and correspondence concerning the World Festival of Youth and Students in Vienna, Austria, which Queen attended as an observer for AFSC. Photographs mostly document farm labor projects undertaken by Queen while at Yale University, and while with the American Friends Service Committee. Also included are photographs from various YMCA-YWCA social functions, including photographs of Terry Sanford, William Friday, Eli Evans, and other prominent state and UNC-Chapel Hill figures. Oversized documents include art prints, a class photograph of Queen's graduating class at Yale University Divinity School, and enlarged versions of political cartoons.

Arrangement: by correspondent and by original organization.
Family correspondence consists of letters to Anne Queen from her mother, Effie Mease Queen, and her sisters, Mattie Ruth Queen
and Bonnie Mae Queen. Most of these letters relate to everyday occurances at the Queen house in Canton, N.C., where Anne Queen's
mother and sisters lived together. Throughout the series, there is discussion about family conflicts, particularly relating
to a mental illness suffered by Bonnie Mae Queen that is unspecified in the letters, as well as discussion about the health
of Effie Mease Queen. The "letter boxes" series consists of letters to Queen that she filed into letter boxes and arranged by the correspondent's last name. Other
correspondence consists of unfiled letters from friends, co-workers, and former students. Many of these correspondants were
involved in politics, social justice movements, religious service, and wrote their letters from countries outside of the United
States, where they were often attending school or working as missionaries or non-profit workers. Notable correspondents include
Joel Fleishman, Edward P. Morgan, John Ehle, Al Lowenstein, and William Sloane Coffin.

Back to Top 3. Subject Files, 1940-1985. About 8400 items.
Arrangement: by subject.
Correspondence, pamphlets, clippings, publications, notes, reports, and other subject-related materials belonging to Anne
Queen. Most of the materials were filed according to their subject matter by Queen herself; folder labels for those materials
have, for the most part, been retained. Other materials were unfiled and were assigned to more general subject categories
during processing.
The materials deal with various societal issues that affected Queen's work within the YMCA-YWCA at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. These include race relations and the civil rights movement, free speech and the speaker ban in 1964.
There is also a considerable amount of material related to efforts by the YMCA-YWCA to foster international exchange and understanding
among University students. These include promotional materials for various international service opportunities geared toward
college students, as well as correspondence, brochures, and clippings from the International Handicrafts Bazaar, which was
organized by the YMCA-YWCA at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1973 and 1974. Religious-themed materials include flyers from the Chapel
of the Cross, an Episcopal church in Chapel Hill that Queen attended regularly, as well as text from articles and speeches
on various theological issues, and publications and correspondence dealing with the role of religious organizations on a secular
university campus. Other materials include mailings and publications from schools that Queen attended, including Berea College
and Yale University Divinity School. Other organizations documented in the files include the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the Peace Corps, and the Fellowship of Southern Churchmen.
AFSC-related materials include brochures and correspondence concerning the World Festival of Youth and Students in Vienna,
Austria, which Queen attended as an observer for the AFSC. The festival was controversial at the time, as it was widely believed
to be controlled by the Soviet Communist Party.

Back to Top 4. Pictures, 1940s-1970s. About 500 items.
Photographs and other pictures belonging to Anne Queen. The photographs are generally without numbers or captions. Many of
the pictures document farm labor projects undertaken by Anne Queen while at Yale University and while with the American Friends
Service Committee. Also included are photographs of Terry Sanford, William Friday, Eli Evans, and other prominent state and
UNC-Chapel Hill figures that were taken at a party Queen attended in 1971. There are also pictures that seem to be of Queen's
mother and sisters, but they cannot be verified due to the lack of captions. Unidentified photographs have been grouped into
general types.
See also Series 5 for a class photograph of Anne Queen's graduating class at Yale University Divinity School and enlarged
versions of political cartoons by Bob Zschiesche, cartoonist for the Greensboro Daily News, dealing with issues related to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
