Awards and Accolades
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.
