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>

their 18th- century counterparts. Visitors receive an interpretation on the life of children, observe a typical
activity such as needlework or penmanship, and then take part in a variety of 18th -century games Five days
a week, at the Geddy House.
Eighteenth- Century Stitching" - This program is primarily an instructional class in 18th -century sewing
techniques for Local young girls. Their instruction and production is conducted before the public,
either indoors or outside. These young girls talk with visitors about their projects and an adult
interpreter is present to provide information; however, the strength of the program is the visual
interpretation it provides. Offered two afternoons a week at the Geddy House.
Children'
Lessons" -
Children learn about 18th -century education through interpretation and some type of hands -on activity. Participants are given a short " lesson" in such things as writing with a quill pen, ciphering exercises, playing a board
game, or trying a dance program. A very informal program, children are invited

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>

had ordered something through our mail order department.
In the letter, she said she had been doing business through
the mail for 25 years, having started with the greats like
Horchow and L.L. Bean. In no time during her 25 years had
long time to come, because one person made a difference to
her. To me, this whole area of dealing with your customers,
of exceeding their expectations, is not a program. It' s
almost a golden rule sort of thing, ` Do unto your customer
what you would like them to do if you were the customer.'
That' s what we have to do."

It sounds easy. So often, the solution to a problem
seems to be common sense. Why do we miss the boat?

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>

Frank
Cross, who knows Ed Diehl well, had
this to say about him: " To me Ed will

He would drive a hard bargain but
always come through for Williams-
burg. Ed is the kind of person who
never stops teasing, harassing,
and
having fun with everyone, but he let
this southern boy beat him at rummy."
Ed has been the man to call if you

Schumacher or required assistance in
ordering a fabric. We will miss him,

Good luck and smooth sailing to

An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Licensed Manufacturers and Williamsburg Shops Newsletter</em> was produced by Colonial Williamsburg to keep vendors and other interested parties up to date on the latest products and news related to the Williamsburg Shops program. The Rockefeller Library holds what may be a complete run of twenty-one issues from 1988-1993. Licensed manufacturer refers to a company officially licensed by Colonial Williamsburg to produce reproduction antiques or historically inspired products that align with the mission and aesthetics of the Foundation. The Williamsburg Shops program was created to expand the reach of the sale of Colonial Williamsburg products by creating mini-Craft House stores within major metropolitan department stores. Articles in the newsletter primarily concern newly available products, but also can mention strategies for managing and promoting the Shops and significant Colonial Williamsburg news about buildings and programs.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Licensed Manufacturers and Williamsburg Shops Newsletter</em> was produced by Colonial Williamsburg to keep vendors and other interested parties up to date on the latest products and news related to the Williamsburg Shops program. The Rockefeller Library holds what may be a complete run of twenty-one issues from 1988-1993. Licensed manufacturer refers to a company officially licensed by Colonial Williamsburg to produce reproduction antiques or historically inspired products that align with the mission and aesthetics of the Foundation. The Williamsburg Shops program was created to expand the reach of the sale of Colonial Williamsburg products by creating mini-Craft House stores within major metropolitan department stores. Articles in the newsletter primarily concern newly available products, but also can mention strategies for managing and promoting the Shops and significant Colonial Williamsburg news about buildings and programs.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Licensed Manufacturers and Williamsburg Shops Newsletter</em> was produced by Colonial Williamsburg to keep vendors and other interested parties up to date on the latest products and news related to the Williamsburg Shops program. The Rockefeller Library holds what may be a complete run of twenty-one issues from 1988-1993. Licensed manufacturer refers to a company officially licensed by Colonial Williamsburg to produce reproduction antiques or historically inspired products that align with the mission and aesthetics of the Foundation. The Williamsburg Shops program was created to expand the reach of the sale of Colonial Williamsburg products by creating mini-Craft House stores within major metropolitan department stores. Articles in the newsletter primarily concern newly available products, but also can mention strategies for managing and promoting the Shops and significant Colonial Williamsburg news about buildings and programs.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Licensed Manufacturers and Williamsburg Shops Newsletter</em> was produced by Colonial Williamsburg to keep vendors and other interested parties up to date on the latest products and news related to the Williamsburg Shops program. The Rockefeller Library holds what may be a complete run of twenty-one issues from 1988-1993. Licensed manufacturer refers to a company officially licensed by Colonial Williamsburg to produce reproduction antiques or historically inspired products that align with the mission and aesthetics of the Foundation. The Williamsburg Shops program was created to expand the reach of the sale of Colonial Williamsburg products by creating mini-Craft House stores within major metropolitan department stores. Articles in the newsletter primarily concern newly available products, but also can mention strategies for managing and promoting the Shops and significant Colonial Williamsburg news about buildings and programs.</p>

Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Research Reports
Description
An account of the resource
<p>A collection of research reports from throughout the Foundation's history are available through this webpage. All Colonial Williamsburg research reports, whether in digital or hardcopy format, are discoverable through the Rockefeller Library's online catalog. Their contents reflect the evolution of scholarship over the decades. Given the long period over which these reports have been written, reports sometimes contradict or correct previous thinking due to the discovery of new evidence. Researchers should consult the full range of reports on a particular topic to ensure a thorough understanding of the most current interpretation.</p>
<p>Types of reports include:</p>
<p>Archaeological reports describe archaeological excavations. Reports predating 1960 share only the results of cross-trenching, rather than comprehensive excavation results.</p>
<p>Architectural reports discuss restored and reconstructed buildings.<br />Historical reports (house histories) incorporate primary and secondary sources into the discussion of individual properties and structures.</p>
<p>Interpretive reports clarify the way in which key buildings should be presented to visitors by Colonial Williamsburg's historical interpreters.</p>
<p>Topical reports outline specific areas of interest in 18th-century research.</p>
<p>Other research reports are discoverable at the following website that also has a keyword searchable option: <a href="https://research.colonialwilliamsburg.org/DigitalLibrary/research-reports/">Research Reports.</a></p>
