The Houseal Collection documents the political, educational, and cultural history of Valdosta’s African American community through the personal papers, photographs, scrapbooks, legal records, writings, and digital media of Dr. Willie Houseal. A longtime educator, civil rights leader, and local politician, Dr. Houseal’s contributions offer unique insight into local struggles for voting rights, the development of public education, and the life of the Southside community. Developed in partnership with Dr. Houseal and Valdosta State University Archives and Special Collections, the collection features materials spanning from the 1930s to the present, including significant series on Pinevale High School and the Valdosta Southside Living History Project.
