Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Holly Wilson Greene papers date from 1970 to 2022 and measure 15 linear inches in four boxes. The papers are arranged in five series: Biographical Information, Publications, Awards and Accolades, Photographs, and Artifacts. The Publications Series consists of two subseries: Athletic Training and United States Navy.

The Biographical Information (1981-2022) series includes her careers, as well as speeches and talks she gave.

The Publications (1980-2003) series contains a wide range of Greene’s professional writing throughout her careers as an athletic trainer and Navy reservist. Notable works include her dissertation and a chapter she wrote for a women’s sports medicine book, several newsletters and articles on common injuries and treatments, athletic training education, and women’s sports. There are several presentations that Greene gave to the Navy on topics such as orthopedic training and guidelines for staying healthy and injury-free while on active duty.

The Awards and Accolades (1975-2022) series hold numerous letters praising Greene for her work. There are Naval honors, letters of recommendation, and thank-you notes. There is a plaque from the Iowa Women’s Field Hockey team that declares Greene the “World’s greatest trainer." Also included is an audiocassette of a KGO Newstalk 81 program titled Women of the 90s, which includes Greene.

The Photographs series has several photographs of Greene through her career, most undated. The Artifacts series has a t-shirt from the University of Iowa Women’s Athletic Department, Iowa athletics decals, and pins relating to women’s sports and athletic training.
