Background

Scope and content:

This collection incorporates very small accessions received in no documentary context. All materials deal with the history of the School of Law at Washington and Lee University and its predecessor institutions, or with alumni of this law school.

In October 2016, the collection was reappraised. Some materials were removed to be placed on other collection or disposed of because they did not have continuing value. Box and folder numbers were assigned and decimal numbers were assigned to each descrete collection within this collection.

Physical description:

This collection consists of 1 cubic foot of materials and one oversize folder housed in the map cases.
