CII Diploma Collection
The CII Diploma Collection is a treasured archive containing 18 certificates awarded to students of Christiansburg Industrial Institute, The Hill Graded School, and Calfee Training School. Spanning from 1921 to 1944, these documents include high school and grade school diplomas along with other certificates, celebrating the academic achievements of students who overcame significant obstacles in pursuit of education. These diplomas serve as a testament to the dedication of young learners and the legacy of institutions that uplifted Black communities in the New River Valley.
Over time, many of the documents have deteriorated, with some diplomas showing signs of tears, brittleness, and foxing. Several Christiansburg Institute diplomas need rehydration and flattening to restore their original condition. Your sponsorship will support essential preservation efforts to stabilize and protect these fragile records, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the educational milestones of CII students and the enduring impact of these historic schools.
