Biographical Note
Dolores Celeste Whitney received an A.B. at Wesleyan College in 1945 and graduated
from Indiana University with an M.S. in 1950. From 1947 to 1948 she worked in Japan
as a U.S. Civil Services employee.
Arrangement
Collection is organized into two series: Biographical and Artwork.
Scope and Content Note
This small collection is organized into two series. The first series, Biographical,
includes two scrapbooks. The first scrapbook contains postcards depicting places in
the U.S., with several examples of IU Bloomington campus scenes. The second covers
Dolores’ time in Japan as a Civil Services employee between 1947-1948. Documenting her time overseas, Dolores filled this scrapbook
with postcards, photographs, maps, brochures, and even a drawing of herself done by
a young Japanese student. The series also includes change of address cards with the
Alumni Association as well as a 1946 map of Tokyo.
The second series, Artwork, includes 12 ceramics pieces and a painted decorative
wooden plate done by Whitney. Most of the ceramics feature an animal, including
eagles, a horse, and a cat, and have either her signature or initials on the piece,
usually the back or bottom.
