SUMMARY:Archival Adventures: Christiansburg Institute
DESCRIPTION:It's time for an adventure! This week we’re joined by Jenny 
 Nehrt\, Curator for the Christiansburg Institute\, Inc. as we explore the 
 Christiansburg [Virginia] Industrial Institute Historical Documents 
 (1866-1991).  The Christiansburg Industrial Institute was opened in 1866 in 
 Cambria (now named Christiansburg) Virginia\, by Civil War Union Captain 
 Charles S. Shaeffer as a private primary school for African American 
 children. In 1986\, Booker T. Washington molded the program to one that 
 would emphasize technical training to African Americans. Christiansburg 
 Institute became part of the Montgomery County Schools in 1934 and closed 
 in 1966 when schools were integrated. Take a look at the finding aid for 
 our materials before this week’s episode:
