Scope and Contents
The Holly Wilson Greene papers date from 1971 to 2024 and measure 25.5 linear inches in five 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 (1981-2024) series documents her employment, education, personal writings, and speeches.
The Publications (1971-2003) series contains a wide range of Greene’s professional writing throughout her careers as an athletic trainer and Navy reservist. Notable works in the athletic training sub-series include her dissertation, a chapter she wrote for a women’s sports medicine book, a published book on sports injuries, and several newsletters and articles on common injuries and treatments, athletic training education, and women’s sports. In the United States Navy sub-series there are several presentations that Greene gave to the Navy on topics such as orthopedics training and guidelines for staying healthy and injury-free while on active duty.
The Awards and Accolades (1973-2022) series holds numerous letters praising Greene for her work. There are Naval honors, letters of recommendation, academic and career-based awards, 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 and newsletter of a KGO Newstalk 810 program titled Women of the 90s, which includes Greene.
The Photographs series includes several photographs of Greene through her career, most undated.
The Artifacts series holds a t-shirt from the University of Iowa Women’s Athletic Department, Iowa athletics decals, pins relating to women’s sports and athletic training, and a patch from her service as an emergency medical technician.
