This accession consists of material documenting the life and career of Gertrude “Trudy” Cargile including three scrapbooks, loose newspaper clippings, photographs, an obituary, and a eulogy. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, correspondence, photographs, and other memorabilia. Trudy Cargile made these scrapbooks herself. After her death, a family friend gave these items to the Auburn University Office of Communications and Marketing so that a staff member could nominate Cargile for the Alabama Press Association Hall of Honor. The Office of Communications and Marketing then donated this material to Special Collections and Archives.
