Louise Campbell, principal of the Kwong Yit Girls' School, Meihsien, Guangdong (Kwangtung) Province, worked for 40 years among the Hakka tribespeople, as did her sister, Margaret Larue Campbell Burket and Margaret's husband, Everett S.

University of Connecticut School of Law Library's Archives and Special Collections
Abstract Or Scope
The collection was largely compiled by former staff in the Archives and includes documents, reports and photographs related to the various campuses and buildings the Law School inhabited since its inception in 1921. The majority of the print collection focuses on the move from 1800 Asylum to the former Hartford Seminary location on Elizabeth Street. Extensive renovation of the buildings was undertaken to make the buildings work for a law school with a full service library. An extensive collection of item-level cataloged photographs of the various buildings is included in the collection. Most of the images are of the Elizabeth Street campus but there are also many of the new library (Meskill Library), including construction photographs, and of the former campus at 1800 Asylum Street, West Hartford, Connecticut.
This collection documents the history and operations of Campus Ministry Advancement, an organization incorporated in Ohio in 1967 to support Christian ministries in higher education. Legal documents, minutes, correspondence, financial records, and tax records are included.
