Harold Harcourt Culmer (1908-1993) was a Black West Indian medical doctor and his wife, Etta Williams Culmer (1914-1993), was a school teacher prior to her marriage to Harold Culmer. Harold and Etta met in Monroe, North Carolina after Harold moved there to complete his medical residency. Harold and Etta moved to Texas as the United States was faced with a shortage of physicians during World War II and Texas was home to more military camps than any other state. The life of the Culmers is depicted in photographs during family occasions in Dallas and possibly North Carolina, New York, and Washington, D.C., and on travels to foreign places. Other collection materials include yearbooks, financial records, guest books, scrapbooks, photographs, and some newspaper clippings about the Priscilla Art Club over its existence until Mrs. Culmer's death in 1993.
