Biographical/Historical:     Dr. Dorothy Dodd was the first State Archivist and the second State Librarian of Florida. She received her bachelor's degree at Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee before earning her doctorate degree in history from the University of Chicago.

    In the 1970s and 1980s, Dr. Dodd worked on a publication, "Manufactures and the Mechanic Arts in Middle Florida, 1824-1860." In 1984, the first chapter of this work, "The Settlement of Middle Florida," was typed from a handwritten draft. Due to inaccuracies in this typed draft, a second typing was done by Patty Paul in 1988.
