Cardboard Frame - photograph of a girl sitting on front steps (Archives Photograph Collection)

The bulk of this collection consists of correspondence from Harden Donley to Doris Donley from 1943-1944 while he was enlisted in the Army. This includes letters, postcards, and telegrams, demonstrating the various ways that soldiers kept in touch with family and friends during World War II. There is additional correspondence from family and friends directed to Doris Donley (and in some cases Harden Donley as well). Researchers may also be interested in documents regarding the 1968 Clarksville Avenue Urban Renewal Project which affected residents and businesses near the downtown area of Clarksville. Other items in the collection include family photographs, financial documents (including W-2s, earning statements and tax returns), and local business advertisements.
