Biographical Note:
The Atwood family owned and ran the largest newspaper in the state, the Anchorage Times, from 1935-1989. Bob and Evangeline Atwood championed many causes such as Alaskan statehood, and supported arts, culture, and education including the University of Alaska Anchorage Atwood Chair of Journalism. They founded the Atwood Foundation in 1962 to continue this legacy of philanthropy.

Robert Bruce Atwood, known as Bob, was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1907 and graduated from Clark University in Massachusetts in 1929. While a reporter for the Illinois State Journal, he met and married Maud “Evangeline” Rasmuson in 1932. Known for his lively editorials, Bob advocated for statehood, moving the state capitol, the military in Alaska, making Anchorage an air hub, oil development, and the growth and development of the state. He also chaired the Alaska Statehood Committee, served on the Alaska Command Civilian Advisory Board, and acted as Norwegian Consul for Anchorage. He died in 1997.

Evangeline Atwood was born in Sitka, Alaska in 1906. She earned a B.A. from the University of Washington and an M.A. from the University of Chicago and worked as a social worker. Evangeline also became an Alaskan historian and wrote six books and several newspaper columns. She also was a community activist, a major supporter of the arts and education, and a founder of the Alaska World Affairs Council. Evangeline died in 1987.

Bob and Evangeline Atwood had two daughters, Marilyn Jeanette Atwood (1935-1994) and Sara “Elaine” Atwood (1940-2003). Marilyn graduated from the University of Washington. Married and divorced twice, first to Marvin Coles and later to Milton Odom, owner of Anchorage Cold Storage. She had a daughter Elaine Coles and three sons, Milton W. III, Paul, and Robert Odom. She wrote a weekly column for the Anchorage Times as a White House correspondent. The Atwoods’ younger daughter Elaine graduated from Mills College in California. Her career at the Anchorage Times took her from a reporter and the Women’s Editor to the Business Manager and Assistant Publisher. An active civic and community leader, Elaine became the first female president of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and, like her father, served as Norwegian Consul for Anchorage.

Under the ownership of the Atwood family, the Anchorage Times grew from a circulation of 650 and 5 employees to a circulation of almost 50,000 with 400 employees.The Times entered a joint-operating agreement in 1974 with the Anchorage Daily News to reduce costs, but a conflict arose and the agreement was ended through arbitration. In 1979, McClatchy Company purchased the majority of shares in the Daily News, and the two papers entered into a circulation war. This war caused financial strain for the Anchorage Times, and in December 1989 the Atwood family sold it to VECO Corporation.

Collection description:
The Atwood family papers document the lives of Bob, Evangeline, Marilyn and Elaine Atwood. The collection covers their ownership and management of the Anchorage Times, their professional activities, civic and community involvement including Bob Atwood’s role in Alaskan statehood, and their personal lives.

The bulk of the papers cover Bob Atwood’s career as editor and publisher of the Anchorage Times and his other professional and civic activities. Evangeline Atwood’s papers reflect her life-long role as an Alaskan historian, a civic and community leader, and a renowned hostess although most of her papers prior to 1964 were lost due to the destruction of the family home in the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Marilyn Atwood’s papers are mostly personal, although some of her professional papers can be found in Bob Atwood’s papers. Elaine Atwood’s papers reflect her long career with the Anchorage Times and her involvement in many professional, civic, and cultural organizations in Anchorage. Sometimes materials related to individual family members can be found in other family members’ papers and are noted in the series descriptions when applicable.

Related materials: Evangeline Atwood and Lew M. Williams, Jr. Bent Pins to Chains: Alaska and its newspapers, unpublished history, eph-0210, contains the records of one of Evangeline’s writing projects. Some records of the Anchorage Times are held by the Anchorage Daily News. More records related to the family can be found in the Elmer E. Rasmuson papers at Alaska and Polar Regions collections, Elmer. E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. Other collections in Archives and Special Collections as well as in other archival repositories in Alaska also contain materials relating to the Atwoods and to the Anchorage Times.

Custodial history: Bob and Elaine Atwood boxed and stored their papers at the Times offices. Evangeline primarily filed her papers in cabinets at their home in the office (as did Bob in later years) but she also had a small amount at the Anchorage Times offices. During the 1964 earthquake in Alaska, the family lost all the records at the house including family photographs and photograph albums assembled by Evangeline, as well as her papers. Elaine brought back Marilyn Atwood’s papers from her home in Washington, D.C. after Marilyn’s death. When Bob sold the paper in December 1989, he and Elaine supervised the final boxing of their papers and had them placed in a rented home. With the sale of that house, they transferred the boxes to a storage facility where they remained until being moved to Archives and Special Collections. When Elaine died at Marilaine in 2003, all of the unfiled papers of the family members located at the house were boxed and labeled by creator and format or function during the handling of her estate. This also included the loose photographs, framed photographs, photograph albums, family identification records, and videotapes.

Acquisition note: The collection was donated to Archives and Special Collections by Edward Rasmuson as a representative of the Atwood Foundation in July 2007. Additional materials were donated in 2013 and added to the collection in 2018.

Processing information: The papers were described in 2008-2010 by Kathleen Bouska, with assistance from Nicole Jackelen. Funding for the processing and descriptive work was provided by the Atwood Foundation. Kathleen Bouska surveyed and grouped the Atwood family papers found at the house in January 2008. The transfer of the papers from the house and from storage to the Archives occurred in February 2008. The original order of the papers was followed during processing, except for the following instances. Papers produced by family members late in life and boxed up during the handling of Elaine Atwood’s estate were added to the end of the appropriate series in chronological order. Any of Bob Atwood’s loose photographs and certificates were interleaved following the original order of his papers. Materials not directly related to the collection were weeded and returned to the Atwood Foundation. Some of Evangeline Atwood’s loose research materials and photographs were added following her original arrangement. Elaine returned Marilyn’s files to the family home, so it is not clear that these had an original order, but the papers have been maintained in the order in which they arrived at the Archives. The original order of Elaine’s papers has been maintained or followed as closely as possible. A few of the loose photographs were in order, an order which was imposed during processing on the rest of the series. The family albums created by Evangeline Atwood were kept in their original state and arranged chronologically. Additional materials were added to the collection in 2018 by Gwen Higgins. This collection was consolidated in 2023 by Emma Muhlbauer.
