Gift of Maynard, Robert E. and Angela J. II on behalf of Robert E. and Joyce A. Maynard Sr., 2023 March 08.

Scope and Contents

Sticker and decal collection representing the West Virginia and regional coal mining industry and ancillary support industries, including trucking. Highlights include Valvoline Racing Oil, ARCH Coal Company of West Virginia, numerous safety reminder stickers, and many union representation stickers. Some well represented unions include the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), among others. Robert E. Maynard, Sr. (1944-2021) was part of the West Virginia coal mining industry up until his retirement in 2002. This collection is minimally processed.

Arrangement

The original collector intended to complete scrapbooking work on all of these stickers and decals, but did not finish. We have left everything in its original order and housing, except for collecting loose stickers into an envelope, in order to preserve any meaningful order from the original collector.
