In 1951, after accepting
the appointment as President of Brigham Young University, Ernest L. Wilkinson
was given the charge to further the development of the home economics programs

and Textiles being one of them. The already-established program expanded and
thrived in the new college.
This collection is organized into five
series. The first of these series is the Department Records which contains the
department and program reviews and department activities. Series two is the
Faculty Records which contains the faculty files, faculty meeting minutes, and
the records of the associations of which the faculty participated in. The third
series is the Correspondence series which contains the correspondence of the
students, faculty, department, university, and department chairs. The fourth
series, Lab Equipment, has the instruction manuals, advertisements, and records
of equipment used in the SFLC labs. The last series, photographs, has unlabeled
photos of graduation, faculty, students, and student designs.
