Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Slave Quarters," will be presented
every 15 minutes from 7 p. m. to 9

The program will show how
Powell continued his successful associations with the government through the
1770s and gained wealth and social advancement. By 1778 he was made a gentleman justice of the York County court and officially joined the ranks of the lower
gentry. Benjamin and Annabelle were born into the middling class but demonstrated the American ability to rise in social standing.
The Powell daughters mirrored their parents' rise. Both Hannah and Nancy
married into the gentry. William Drew was born about 1748 and lived in Isle of
Wight County. He apprenticed in the Clerk' s office with Benjamin Waller and
left Williamsburg in the early 1770s to become Clerk of the Court in Isle of
Wight and then Clerk of the Berkeley County court.
Little is known about Drew' s early life. Because of his position, he was a
member of the gentry and well educated. There were many Drews in Isle of
Wight and William had many family and community connections there. He entered public life at a young age and needed a wife who could complement and
support his career.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Another rare find were three wine glasses, two
of which were nearly whole, " rather like ones that

out that they were extremely pleased to find these
glasses almost intact, for they usually break into
dozens of pieces All three of the glasses were lying together
Two of the glasses date in the
1720 -35 period, and the other glass from the

According to Noel' s archaeological discoveries,
which tie in with research reports, there were two

Kitchen and Brick House Tavern and Kitchen
Formerly the home of the Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Folk Art Collection, the LudwellParadise House became available for residential use
upon completion of the Folk Art Building Conversion required development of kitchen facilities,
and revision of the heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Completion is scheduled for July
The house will contain a large front hall, attrac-
by tavern -keeper and goldsmith John Coke. The
excavated evidence seems to suggest that he may
have used the west building as a tavern and the
east as his goldsmith' s shop
Noel also points out that the east building burned in the first quarter of the 19th- century During
the fire the chimney caved in, burying a number
of early 19th- century items which were uncovered
during the " dig" by Noel, Audrey Noel Hume,
John

a greatness that springs from goodness and this,
it seems to us, is what has given his life meaning

As a steward of great fortune he has, in a sense,
been his father' s memonal His benefactions, made
so wisely and so widely, have been — and we
measure our words — a blessing to mankind They
have been an inspiration to education, to medical
practice and research, to the setting aside of large
parklands for the enjoyment of our people, to the
preservation of historic sites and the remembrance
of our national

to social welfare,

his own best legacy
So, to a man who has earned the admiring

one who asked nothing of the world except to be

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

25 Years of Service
CARL ASHBY
Senior Gardener
Carl worked in the Curator' s department briefly in 1952 and checked out the
Lodge kitchen in 1954. But it wasn' t until 1964 that his friend, Charles Spencer,
finally succeeded in getting him to come to work in Landscape. Then he really
blossomed."
Carl is known as one of those rare gardeners who can do everything well. He
is especially talented with vegetables, as shown in the gardens at the Wythe and
Geddy houses.
Carl does an outstanding job in the Palace Green area, where he is responsible
for teaching younger gardeners what he learned from those who came ahead of
him.

CORNELIUS BLACK
Historic Trades Specialist
You might say Neil has grown up at the Windmill. His father helped to build
the Windmill and Neil stayed around there in the late 50' s before he went off to
New York City " to earn his fortune."
In 1960, Neil returned to Virginia and worked with Dave Lee and Nick Payne
as the first interpreters at the Windmill. Neil tried New York City again, helping
his brother operate a dry cleaning business for a few years, but eventually came
home to the Windmill to establish his career with Colonial Williamsburg.
Hog butchering, wheat harvesting, pig roasting and fence building are all
projects and programs that Neil has been chiefly responsible for leading. Life on
the scene would' t be quite the same without his talents.
Neil
�BLAND BLACKFORD
Director of Archives and Records
Bland came to Williamsburg to visit Donna Johnson, who was a research
archivist here. Bland had worked in New York City for six months and was
looking around for another position. Her mother suggested she look in Williamsburg, since she loved it here and had met Dr. Goodwin on a recent train ride.
Bland started out as a searcher- classifier in January, 1964, and by September
was assistant archivist.
In 1971, she was made associate
archivist
and in 1973 was
named Director.

PERRY BRANTLEY
Mechanic C
In 1964, Jimmy Fuller and Harry Sutton interviewed Perry for the position of
maintenance serviceman in MO & M. Twenty -five years later, Perry is still going
strong.
He survived working all night on a backed -up sewer in the Goodwin Building
a couple of years ago. Some years before that, he stood guard over a red -hot
boiler in Merchants
Square under the old Personnel
Offices ( now Williams
Leather).
The safety valves had failed, resulting in the arrival of the Fire Department.
The boiler was so hot that the heat melted the soles of the firemens' boots when
they went down to inspect the area. Perry stayed on the scene to be certain that no
water entered the boiler until it cooled down. Otherwise, we might have seen
Block 23 blown off the map!

MARGE COOK
Supervisor, Historical Interpretation
Twenty - five years ago, Marge had recently moved to Williamsburg and she
and a neighbor decided to apply for hostess positions at Colonial Williamsburg.
They struggled through the training together, with Marge' s neighbor giving her
great encouragement. In the end, the neighbor quit, but we are certainly glad that
Marge is still with us.
Over the past 25 years Marge has been a hostess, an escort, a tour coordinator,
a senior interpreter, and a supervisor. In addition to having been instrumental in
the development of our children' s programs, Marge initiated the Wythe South
Office project in early 1988, and has been doing research on the lifestyles of 18th century
Marge
women.
�KATHERINE
CURTIS
Laundry Storekeeper
Over the past 25 years, Katherine has seen and enjoyed many different parts
of Colonial Williamsburg. Having been a reservations clerk at Campbell' s and a
secretary at the Cafeteria during 1961 -62, Katherine settled into her CW career
full time in 1964, as a desk attendant at the Information Center. By 1969, she
became administrative clerk in the accounting area of the Information Center.
Katherine loved sewing, so in 1973 she joined the Upholstery Shop, where she
remained until taking on her latest responsibilites in 1982. Now, as storekeeper at
the Laundry, she is responsible for all linens, towels, bedspreads and specialty
items. She maintains inventory records, fits, and prepares uniforms for employees
in our Hotel Properties. The fitting of all the new Shields Tavern employees in a
very short time was one of her recent accomplishments.

WILLIAM EDWARDS
Laborer C -
Masonry Helper
Doc" was the manager of a baseball team when he was in his teens. He used
to be able to turn the game around, so he became known as " Doc,"
for the doctor
who made the team well!
Doc started out in 1964 as a skilled construction
laborer. In 1979, he became a
mason tender and in 1980 a mason helper. Since 1986, Doc has been a Laborer C-
Masonry Helper.
Doc helps to maintain our brick walks and other types of masonry and tile
work, and assists in mortar making and plastering.
Doc
FRANCES HUBBARD
Senior Front Desk Attendant, Motor House
Fran has made a career out of helping our guests in the Motor House area. She
started as a desk clerk at the Motor House in 1964. She has also worked as a desk
attendant
at the Information
Center and as a reservations
clerk for groups, rooms
and dining. We know her best, though, for her work at the Motor House front
desk.
Through the years, Fran has helped guests and employees, and in 1986 was
awarded the Order of the Pineapple for her hospitality and courtesy. She has
helped people in many ways, including preparing employee tax returns through
the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
Fran
�DOROTHY JACKSON
Senior Custodian
Annie" was a nickname given to Dorothy by her aunt, who was also named
Dorothy. When she came to work at CW there were already three Dorothy' s in
her department, so they all agreed she would be Annie. Like many of us, Annie
had lots of relatives working for Colonial Williamsburg when she started out.
Annie' s mother interpreted in the exhibiton building kitchens.
Annie worked for a while in the Cafeteria as a counterwoman in the 50' s
before taking on custodial duties in 1964. As senior custodian at Carter' s Grove,
she puts much effort into keeping up the mansion and surrounding buildings.
Annie
WARD JAMES
Senior Gardener
On the same day in 1964, Ward and Richard Parrott, another of our Silver
Bowl recipients, started out as construction workers for J. P. Bass at the Golden
Horseshoe. Shortly afterward, Ward became a gardener and continued to progress
to the level of senior gardener in 1985.
Ward is a man of varied skills - an excellent hedge trimmer and pruner, an
-
operator of large, heavy power equipment, and is outstanding at detail work such
as vegetable gardening and topiary. He particularly enjoyed his work at the
nursery learning to root and pot ivy.
Ward can be found working in the Historic Area gardens from the Capitol to
Chowning' s, including the Franklin Street area.
Ward
LENA JEFFERSON
Cafeteria Pantry Worker
Lena is another one of those amazing employees who manages to work two
regular jobs. She was recruited for us in 1964 by her aunt, Dorothy Jefferson, who
worked at the Lodge. For the 25 years that she has been here for the evening shift
at the Cafeteria, she has also worked full -time in the Anthropology department of
the College of William and Mary.
She is justly proud of the two sons she raised- -one of them, Hubert, is a
butcher at the Commissary.
Lena helps support the kitchen operations of the Cafeteria. Coming on at 3

Inn Dining Room Captain
Charlotte moved to Williamsburg from Detroit in 1962 and learned of the Inn
through her sister' s friend, who worked in the Inn pantry. Charlotte started as a
bus girl in the Inn Dining Room in 1964. By 1968, she was Dining Room Captain.
Over the years, Charlotte' s friendly smile has become a hallmark of the Inn.
In 1988, she was selected Employee of the Month in September and later chosen
Employee
of the Year.

WILLIE LAWSON
Laundry Head Washman
Willie started working at the Laundry when he was only 18 years old. Shortly
afterwards, his twin brother, Robert, came to work at the Laundry, too.
Armond Campbell, Sr., was manager of the Laundry then. Willie and Robert
used to have great fun with Mr. Campbell. Willie would walk along behind Mr.
Campbell, receiving instructions from him, and Robert would slip into his place.
Mr. Campbell would turn around awhile later to see if Willie had understood the
instructions, and Robert would say truthfully, " No sir, I didn' t hear you say
that."
Mr. Campbell
would then know he' d been taken!
As head washman since 1971, Willie is responsible for the wash crew that
operates the heavy duty washers, which wash six million pounds of laundry a
year.
Willie
DOMON LEWIS
Manager of Banquet Services
Twenty six years ago, Domon was in the Veterinary Corps at Fort Eustis,
moonlighting as an usher in the Lodge Dining Room. " Dee" DeWitt sent Domon
over to Hubert Alexander, Assistant Food and Beverage Manager at the Lodge,
who hired him. Within seven years he progressed from usher, to captain, to head-
waiter, to Dining Room Manager.
In 1970, he became the manager of Chowning' s for three years. That was
before the kitchen was air conditioned!
His office was in the comer where the
water drained in! Domon went on to become Dining Room Service Manger at the
Inn, and in 1979 became Manager of Banquet Services.
Domon
�GLADYS MANNING
Historical Interpreter B
Gladys is one of those employees who has actually led " two lives" at
Colonial Williamsburg. In 1957, she worked as a stenographer in the then new
department of Hotel Sales. She then became banquet secretary, a position she
held for five years before becoming Group Sales coordinator in 1962. By 1973,
Gladys was manager of Banquet Sales.
We lost Gladys for a few years between 1974 and 1981. She returned to
Williamsburg in 1981, entering her " second career" at CW, this time as a hostess
in the former department of Exhibition Buildings.
In addition to her hostess
work, Gladys squeezed in some time as a Visitor Aide and a Lan thorn Tour
leader.
Gladys
CHARLES MITCHELL
Cascades Sous Chef
Twenty - five years ago, Charles' cousin, Ira Bonner, Chef at the Cafeteria,
needed cooks. He called Charles in Alabama to help recruit some cooks. Charles
and his wife moved to Williamsburg.
Charles, too, has a large CW family. His wife, Dannie Mae, has worked at the
Inn for almost 20 years; his step -father worked in Landscape around the Motor
House; his mother used to work at the Cascades;
and two of his three children
have also worked at the Cascades. His daughter, Valerie, currently works at the
Cascades.
During Charles' 25 years at Colonial Williamsburg, he has worked in all
capacities in our restaurants - - as a cook, storekeeper, senior cook, assistant
steward, first cook, assistant chef, waiter, lead utility person, storeroom supervisor, and banquet
waiter. Since 1980, Charles
has been sous chef at the Cas-
cades. His CW career spans from Campbell' s to the Inn to the Cascades.

on his custodial
duties in 1964. Through
the years, Clyde progressed
in the
custodial department, becoming a Senior Custodian five years ago.
Clyde performs general housecleaning duties in the exhibition and support
buildings.
You can often find him in the Palace area. Clyde has worked at the

mechanic.
Most recently, Richard has proven himself to be an outstanding mechanic,
with the skills to perform overhauls on our aging bus fleet.

WILLIAM STEVENS
Painter C
Hilary MacAllister hung the nickname " Steamboat" on William in the mid 60' s after William bought a boat on the Eastern Shore. It broke down and he
couldn' t get into work that day!
Although Steamboat is celebrating 25 years of continuous service, he first
worked for Colonial Williamsburg in 1961, for 24 days painting the Coke -Garrett
House. He must have done a great job on the temporary assignment, because over
the next three years we sent him letter after letter trying to get him to return, until
we were finally successful in 1964.
Over the years, William has shown he is a first class painter. We know he
takes pride in his work, as shown in the outstanding craftsmanship displayed at
the Coke -Garrett House, Dr. Barraud House, and Shields Tavern.
Steamboat
JANETTE TYNES
Lodge Pantry Worker
Janette first worked for Colonial Williamsburg as a bus girl at King' s Arms in
the early 50' s. CW was the only place she considered working because she could
walk to work from school at Bruton Heights. Janette worked briefly at the
Cafeteria during 1957.
In 1958, Janette transferred to the Lodge as a bus girl and continued to work
there until 1962. She remembers the Lodge before the Conference Center was
built. There were no day and night shifts then. The restaurants merely opened or
closed for each meal.
In 1964, after a two- year absence, Janette returned to the Lodge and began
her 25 -year hitch as a pantry worker. She has also done some banquet waitressing
on the side. As a pantry worker at the Lodge she is responsible for the salads, cold
plates, desserts and can do anything that is needed in the pantry.
Janette
�JOHN WADE
Commissary Delivery Truck Driver
John is another " youngster" celebrating 25 years with Colonial Williamsburg.
He started out as a kitchen helper at the Lodge, became a dishroom attendant in
1968, and served as a kitchen utility man at the Lodge until 1972.
In 1972, John transferred to the Commissary as a utility person, and in 1973
assumed his current position as truck driver. Over the years, John has been praised
for his excellent attention to details. He makes deliveries to four of our restaurants
each day,' and is responsible for checking all the orders on his truck to be sure
they are correct. He has an outstanding record for accuracy, without breakage or
loss to his load.
John
OTIS WADE
Conference Center Banquet Captain
Otis is the second part of our two -brother team. He started as a kitchen helper
at King' s Arms in 1964, riding in to work with his uncle from Charles City after
high school. Within two months he moved to the Lodge and has been there for the
past 25 years. Otis' aunt was Dorothy Jackson, of the Lodge, who also recruited
Lena Jefferson.
Otis really knows his way around the Lodge kitchen. During the past 25 years
he has been a kitchen helper, utility person, acting supervisor, bartender, kitchen
steward, and banquet steward. Since 1987, Otis has been banquet captain.
As banquet captain, Otis is responsible for the direct supervision of the
banquet waiters and assists in training new employees. It is his job to ensure top
quality service to the various groups he is assigned to handle.
Otis
PEG WAITE
Manager, Property Management
In 1964 Peg accepted what was to be a temporary, two -year secretarial
assignment in the Office of the President, working with architects Alan Morledge
and Ed Kendrew, Senior Vice President, to put together a long -term planning
report.
In 1968, Peg served briefly as a floating secretary. Within a month she was
permanently situated in the division of Architecture, Construction and Maintenance.
During the past 21 years as Peg carved out her niche in the area of property
administration, she has become the walking resource on Colonial Williamsburg' s
rental properties. In 1978, she was promoted to rental manager and in 1988 was
named
Peg

manager.
�DAVIS WALLACE
Head Butcher, Commissary
Back in 1964, Davis, or " Curly," as he is known throughout Colonial
Williamsburg, had a cousin who lived down the street from Chef Fred Crawford.
Chef Crawford needed buffet runners for the Inn and asked whether Curly was
looking for work.
Since then, Curly has had a busy career in our hotels and restaurants. He went
on to be a pantry helper and apprentice cook at the Inn. He has worked as a cook
at the Lodge and the Cascades, and has done some banquet waiting at the Lodge.
In 1987, Curly became head butcher at the Commissary.

SUSIE WALLACE
Motor House Inspector
Twenty- five years ago, Susie heard that Colonial Williamsburg was a good
place to work. So she came to work here, planning to stay for just one year in
order to buy new living room furniture.
Susie has stayed at the Motor House her entire Colonial Williamsburg career.
In 1971, she became a section housekeeper and in 1977 was promoted to inspec-
tress. Each day, Susie supervises six housecleaners and one houseman. She is also
responsible for inspecting 48 rooms each day, to be sure they are in proper order
for our guests.

VERNON WOOTEN
Graphic Designer/ Illustrator
Twenty- five years ago, an artist friend in Richmond told Vernon about an
opening at Colonial Williamsburg.
Since then, we have all enjoyed Vernon' s talents in an endless array of
Colonial Williamsburg' s printed pieces, for the Antiques Forum, Garden Symposium, History Forum, and Christmas Calendar of Events. The list goes on and on.
Vernon' s creative pen and ink illustrations
and watercolors are familiar to us
all. His talents have graced numerous brochures, books, and record covers. In
addition, Vernon' s work has been displayed in issues of the Colonial Williams-
burg Journal, most recently in the Summer, 1988, issue featuring " Public Times
in Williamsburg: An Artist' s Impression."

BOBBY BROWN
Campbell' s Rounds Cook
Bobby is one of those employees who looks much too young to have been
here 25 years! He started out with us at a very early age, as a kitchen helper at
Campbell' s. Along the way, he has worked in the storeroom and as an expeditor.
Chef Mack Samuel at the Lodge gave him a break as a cook, taking him from
the dishroom into the bake shop. As a cook, Bobby has had the chance to see such
famous guests as John Wayne and President Johnson.
PAUL HURLEY
Buildings Trade Superintendent ( Retired)
Paul began his career with Colonial Williamsburg as a carpenter from 1953 to
1957. He then worked on and off as a casual carpenter from 1960 to 1963. In 1964,
Paul began his unbroken 25 years of continuous service.
Paul progressed from a carpenter, to construction foreman, to superintendent
with direct responsibility for field coordination of the masonry, carpentry, millwork, support and blacksmith trades.
During his career, Paul not only had a hand in nearly all day -to -day construction matters, but had direct involvement in all major renovation projects. Of all the
projects he worked on, his fondest memories are of Wetherburn' s Tavern.

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

New Automated System Changes Handling
Of Some Benefits For Non -Unit Employees
A brand new automated payroll / personnel system will process our paychecks and calculate our
benefits beginning in July. Those of us employed by the Hotel Properties will get our first paycheck produced by the new system on July 3. Most Foundation employees will get the first " new" check on July
11. The system will be faster, more accurate and will allow us to provide better information than we have
in the past. This special edition of the CW News Extra is provided to explain the changes associated
with the new system and to let you know how it works for all of us.

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>
