The Eartha M.M. White Collection at UNF highlights the powerful influence of adoptive mother Clara English White (1845–1920) on her daughter, Jacksonville humanitarian Eartha M.M. White (1876–1974). The documents highlight a powerful bond and a shared mission of selfless service that laid the groundwork for a vast, enduring philanthropic legacy. The relationship wasn't just personal—it was the seed of the Clara White Mission and Eartha's entire career.
This exhibit is meant to display the life of Eartha M.M. White that has been pieced together through the postcards she has received. Through these postcards, we have been opened to a new perspective of Eartha's personal and professional life, showing us a new side of her that wasn't revealed to the public as much. Postcards serve as powerful mementos and caring gestures that allow memories and emotions to be shared across time and place. For Eartha M.M. White, these gestures documented much of her life. From holiday greetings to business deals, Eartha's life's work is illustrated through the words of her contemporaries.
