Abstract:
Records of the West Virginia Business College of Fairmont, West Virginia, from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Their records include letters of eligibility, course invoices, and certificates of training. Subject files relate to administrative matters such as supplies, teacher applications, and advertising, and to other vocational or business schools and national associations. Financial materials chiefly include tax information from the 1940s to 1960s.
