Scope and Content Information
The papers of Virginius Dabney contain extensive correspondence carried on by Dabney as editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch , in his personal life, and as a Pulitzer Prize- winning author. Other materials deal with his books such as Below the Potomac , The Dry Messiah , and Liberalism in the South , and much useful material collected as research material for these books is present. There is extensive material on the American Society of Newspaper Editors which Dabney served in various capacities including president.
