Collections

The collection contains 25 photographs showing ships and materials that travelled through Port Everglades around 1978.

This collection consists of several papers donated by Geraldine Brooke Greene. Geraldine became a "wandering wife" during the war, following her husband Staff Sergeant Julian John "Jack" Brooke until he was sent to Europe. Jack was eventually killed in action. Geraldine later remarried.

The Gertie Lou Peak Collection contains Florida State College for Women and professional materials related to her education and career as a teacher.

This World War II collection relates to Gertrude Margaritte Ivory Bertram, an African American nurse who served in the U.S. Army. The collection consists of letters, photographs (depicting herself and her fellow nurses in uniform, as well as African American G.I.s, and a few photographs from her time in West Africa), personal items, books, manuscripts, newspaper clippings, and interviews. The materials mainly document Bertram's time at Fort Bragg, NC, but there is some information concerning her life before enlistment, travels during enlistment, and life after enlistment. Most of her enlistment was spent in West Africa and at Fort Bragg, NC. This collection is important, as it covers the unique experiences of women and African Americans during World War II, and offers insight that differs from the majority white male G.I. perspective. It depicts African American nurses in both a professional setting and casual settings as Bertram enjoyed downtime with her friends.

The collection contains photographs of the campus of Florida State College for Women.

The Gil Block Photograph Collection contains 11 photographs taken in 1998 of historic properties in Broward County, Florida. Structures photographed include the Young house in Hollywood, the Frost House, the Viele house in Davie, the Fire Station on Andrews Avenue, and the Sample-McDougald House.
