Scope and Content Notes
The collection includes information regarding Ward's personal life and teaching career. Much of the collection relates to his time as an instructor at Navy technical schools during World War II.
The first series contains personal correspondence and documents. The correspondence in this series consists of letters to and from various peers, friends, and family members. These include personal letters to Ward, letters from Ward to his wife, Violet, and letters from Violet while she was on vacation in 1930. The Masonic folder includes manuals and letters regarding his Masonic affiliation.
Also in this series are folders containing job applications, job descriptions, and letters of recommendation for Ward, as well as Ward's educational records. This includes formal and informal education ranging from a Boy Scout certification to his Stanford Commencement notice. The photographs include are presumably of Ward and his family as well as postcards and photographs he collected while in Korea during World War I. Folders in this series are arranged alphabetically by title, with chronological arrangement within each folder.
Series II, Teaching Records, holds paperwork from Ward's teaching career. It includes lesson plans and correspondence with the Oakland Public School district. Ward was involved in many teacher associations and committees. Notes, planning, and paperwork for those committees can be found here.
When Ward was recalled to active duty, he was sent to the U.S. Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida, where he was quickly named Officer in Charge of the Aviation Metalsmith School. Memos, orders, photographs, and manuals for his time in this position are found in the third series. The material is arranged chronologically with undated material at the end.
The materials in Series IV document Ward's time as the Officer in Charge of the Aviation Radioman School. This series includes paperwork, memos, orders, and manuals for his time in this position. The material is order chronologically with undated material at the end.
With the growing importance of radar during World War II, an increasing number of trained operators were needed. In 1943, Ward was appointed Officer in Charge of a new Aviation Radar Operators School in Jacksonville, Florida. The fifth series includes documents, memos, and orders Ward obtained while in this position. Also included in this series is a collection of the manuals used at the school.
The sixth series contains materials from Ward's position as Officer in Charge of the Special Projects School for Air (SPSA) in San Clemente, California, which emphasized training in counter-radar techniques. Because SPSA and the Radar School cover many of the same topics, there is a bit of overlap in the organization as well as content. The material is arranged chronologically with undated material at the end.
Series VII contains topical subject flies not specifically related to one of the Schools at which Ward served. Many of these are materials Ward used in the various technical courses that he taught. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject.
The eighth series contains publications that Ward accumulated over the course of his civilian and military careers. They are arranged alphabetically by title.
Series IX is a compilation of miscellaneous items. Though similar to Series VII, this series contains more general materials, such as news clippings and questionnaires, informational items, and memorabilia not clearly related to Ward's teaching or Navy careers. This series is arranged alphabetically by title.
Series X, Oversize, contains military maps of Japanese islands, magazine articles, and miscellaneous oversize items, which are described further in the folder list.
