Extent: 13 boxes.
The subject files include address books and calendars, artwork, clippings, greeting cards, insurance papers, invitations,
notes and notebooks, photographs, poetry and song lyrics, programs, publications, sketchbooks, and sympathy cards and letters.
There is also information relating to Avery's involvement in various Confederate organizations contained in the subject files.
There are records of the Children of the Confederacy, and the Stonewall Jackson Chapter and Centennial Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, including handbooks, membership applications, minutes, programs, reports, and yearbooks. There
are files relating to Jefferson Davis, including biographical information, efforts to have him elected to the Hall of Fame
for Great Americans, memorial addresses, publications, and planning materials concerning the annual June 3rd "Massing of the
Flags" celebration in Richmond. The subject files also include Avery's work on legislation related to the R. E. Lee Camp Confederate
Soldiers' Home, and a notebook containing a list of her work with Confederate groups from 1922 to 1965.
Of particular note in the subject files are lists of "inmates," or residents, of the R. E. Lee Camp Confederate Soldiers'
Home. These appear to be transcriptions of the registers included in LVA Accession 24736. There are two typescript lists,
or "rolls," of former residents. The first covers surnames beginning with A-G, and includes the person's admission date, name,
and regimental history. The second list is more detailed, and is 440 pages in length. It covers surnames A-Z, and includes
admission date, name, age, where born, regimental history, cause of admission, by whom sent, cause of discharge (death date
is often noted), and remarks. The two lists are arranged by first letter of the surname, and thereunder chronologically by
date of admission. Some information contained in the lists has been lost due to water and mold damage to the originals. For
preservation reasons, the entire two lists have been photocopied.
