Series 7 includes clippings pertaining to Thomas Dixon and his family from 1902 through 2000 and several undated clippings. Clippings include book reviews of Dixon’s works, obituaries, biographical pieces, and information about the Thomas Dixon Collection at Gardner-Webb University. Original news clippings have been digitized and copied onto archival paper. Four news clippings were originally copied onto mimeograph paper which has significantly deteriorated over time; these clippings have been acquired and scanned from microfilmed originals.
