This collection consists of photographs and documents from the personal papers of Judith Van Ness, a lifelong Rochester resident and former librarian at the Rochester Public Library. The photographs document Rochester buidlings and scenes from the 1970s to the 1990s. The documents include a copy of her essay on draft card burning, undated but likely written in 1966, which provides a first-person account on the topic right from the time during which it became a signifcant form of anti-Vietnam War protest.
