This is an interesting topic, and one I'm not familiar with! I think this topic might be a challenge, particularly with the Boston/northeast-focused resources we have through Northeastern. At present, your bibliography seems to have more sources relating to the Piper Charitable Trust and its activities than to Virginia herself, which would be more appropriate for an article specifically about the Trust (in which case, you'd need some evidence of notability). I would also caution against using the Trust's website or publications as sources (including the Devotedly Virginia biography), since a Wikipedia article really requires coverage from external sources like newspapers, magazines, or books that are not published in-house. In a longer article, a few lines or quotes from the Trust's website might be fine, but it seems like the Devotedly Virginia biography published on the website is pulling a lot of the weight here, and unfortunately it's not really a valid source for a Wikipedia article.

Going forward, I'd focus on finding more news coverage (of Virginia herself, unless you'd like to switch gears and create an article about the Trust) or biographies in other publications. You could try searching a source like Google Scholar or Google Books. If you're from Arizona, do you have a library card for any of the public libraries there? Public libraries often have great regional newspaper collections, including historical newspapers, that you can access online with your library card. I also recommend reviewing Wikipedia's notability and reliable source guidelines to make sure you're including the best possible information.

I hope this helps, and please let User:AmandaRR123, Prof Cordell or me know if you have any questions! Brooke LibrarianBTeam (talk) 22:23, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
