This photo was taken at the time of Roberts' doctoral graduation from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in history from the University of Alabama. On either side of her are Howard C. Elliot, Jr., Ph.D. in biochemistry, and Elmer Dean Calloway, Ph.D. in chemistry.
Photo from the Huntsville Times. The photo was taken for an article about the honorary doctor of humane letters that Roberts received from UAH on December 12, 1993.
This is a typed list of the journal subscriptions for the library in 1962-1963 with additional journals written at the bottom of the list. At the top of the document, there is a written note to "Dr. Roberts," presumably history professor Frances Roberts, requesting she renew all of the subscriptions.
