I ran across this story from the Roanoke Times:

Tech acquires Carter Family memorabilia
Some of the items from the family will be on public display within a couple of weeks.

By Ralph Berrier Jr.
981-3338

Virginia Tech now owns items associated with the famous Carter Family country music group of Southwest Virginia and that family's most famous in-law, Johnny Cash.

Many of the items are not especially rare, but they include autographed biographies of Cash and wife June Carter Cash, songbooks, photographs, programs and other odd memorabilia -- such as Maybelle Carter's hunting and fishing license.

The rest of the story can be viewed at http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/220734

The complete list of items in the collection is on Virginia Heritage website at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vi...iblbv00442.xml.frame
