House-Floor coverings

This collection contains 646 pamphlets, newspaper clippings, and handwritten notes, instructions and essays Carolyn Shepherd Price collected and used as teaching aids in her home economics classes. They cover a broad range of topics including child development, clothing, health and home management and decoration. The collection also includes a typed term paper on eggs which she wrote for her University of Alabama Home Economics 15 class in 1935 and a handwritten essay on the costume of the American Colonial dame. The essay also includes sketches of dresses and dress designs. There are also popular recipes of the 1930s and 1940s, many just clipped out of newspapers and magazines.
