She created the social work program at UTC and, in 1980, became the first Black woman to head an academic department at the University.<\/p>\n<p>According to Carolyn Runyon, assistant head of collection services for the UTC Library and director of Special Collections, this is the first large-scale federal grant the library has received since she came to UTC in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited the federal granting agency saw how important this collection is,\u201d Runyon said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have that external recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"56852\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/02\/utc-special-collections-wins-federal-grant-to-process-dr-tommie-browns-personal-papers\/capture-15\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"531,446\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Wasserstrom, Chuck&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1707232574&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Capture\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56852 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/Capture-1-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>She said to win the award, the papers needed to be approved by an anonymous peer review, the NHPRC and the Archivist of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s papers, which are kept in individual boxes, stretch up to about 125 feet\u2014all of which need to be processed. The grant, Runyon said, will pay for a full-time professional archivist, a student assistant, acid-free boxes, folders to protect the materials and additional equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Ann Pierre, president of the Chattanooga chapter of the NAACP and a long-time friend of Brown\u2019s, spoke about the impact of Brown\u2019s work last year on the WDEF-TV talk show \u201cLet\u2019s Chatt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t just get the degree for herself. She got the degree for the people,\u201d Pierre said.<\/p>\n<p>Runyon explained what acquiring Brown\u2019s papers means to the UTC community and those who will one day be able to view the documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though she\u2019s long retired from public service, when I think about her work here on campus and in the community, she has been an outstanding mentor\u2014especially in the Black community in Chattanooga,\u201d Runyon said.<\/p>\n<p>Runyon also acknowledged the broader impact of the NHPRC award and how it will help the library\u2019s mission to preserve history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is recognition, not only of the significance of her papers, but that Special Collections can responsibly and ethically curate and steward these materials,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/admissions\/visit\">Visit UTC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
