Apopka and Atlantic Railroad collection, circa 1885-1887, 1993
0.05 Linear Feet 1 folder- Abstract Or Scope
-
The Apopka and Atlantic Railroad collection, circa 1885-1887 contains a matted photograph of the Apopka and Atlantic Railroad line in the old town of Mayo (current Maitland), and a letter and copies of the "Florida Official Path Finder" explaining the history and location of the photo. The photograph shows a train outside of an engine house with two white engineers on the train and three Black workers posed at the end of the train. This collection is a rare look into the short-lived Apopka and Atlantic Railroad Line. It also provides insight into segregation in the 1880s. This photograph was taken in the old town of Mayo, also known as Woodbridge. Mayo was a white settlement and Woodbridge was settled by Black laborers, the railroad separating the two. The Apopka and Atlantic Railroad was active from 1885-1887 and closed in 1888 due to lack of business. This line connected Mayo (South Florida Railroad) and Forest City (Orange Belt Railroad).

5 Linear Feet- Abstract Or Scope
-
This collection spans the date range from 1936 – 1972. However, there are a few personal documents dating to 1854 and 1905. The primary scope of the collection pertains to Bolton's work in World War II and his work with the Daytona Speedway. There are a few ancillary projects in addition to these. There is little information about specific jobs between Bolton's work in WWII and his work on the Daytona Speedway. There is also very little information about specific jobs after the Daytona Speedway project ending in 1959. The lack of information on specific jobs after Bolton's work on the Daytona Speedway may be attributed to Bolton's efforts to divide the company up between his son-in-laws and his friends.

The Archival collection of Dr. Charles N. Millican from the collection of Norman Van Meter, 1900-2004 contains photographs, news clippings, and personal letters about Charles Millican. The photographs range from social events to private family photos. This collection provides insight into the life and career of Dr. Charles Millican. Charles Norman Millican was born October 9, 1916 in Wilson, Arkansas. He earned a B.S. in Business and Religion from Union University in 1941. In 1946, he received his M.A. in Economics from George Peabody College and became Acting Head of the Commerce Department at Union University. The Millicans moved to Florida in 1948 where Millican studied for his Ph.D. in Business Finance and Economics. When Dr. Millican was appointed President of the new university in 1965, the university had no name, no buildings, no faculty and no students; he had to create the university over which he would preside. After Millican's appointment, he hired staff, found premises, and began the slow process of creating his university. He established the twin tenets of "Accent on the Individual" and "Accent on Excellence," which continue to guide the University, and the motto, "Reach for the Stars". Although he retired as President in 1978, Millican returned to teaching finance as a professor in the College of Business at the University of Central Florida, as it was now known, and earned the title President Emeritus. He chaired the Orange County Community Referendum Committee, which passed the resort tax that built the Orange County Convention Center. He has received Distinguished Alumnus awards from both the University of Florida and Union University, and he received honorary LL.D. degrees from Rollins College and UCF.
