Background

Scope and content:

Subject files containing newspaper clippings mostly related to the state of West Virginia from the 1930s to approximately 1980. Most articles are from the 1960s and 1970s. In the first series, subjects include West Virginia coal mining, culture, history, places, and politics. The second two series include biographical information on authors as well as non-authors, with many hailing from West Virginia.

Addendum of 2024 August 20 includes assorted newspaper clippings and a Life Magazine issue regarding Dean Perry, a Morgantown, WV, native who died during the Vietnam War.

Acquisition information:
Created by West Virginia Regional History Center; includes donated content.
Custodial history:

Initially, this collection consisted only of the topics series, which was compiled by staff at the WVRHC. The biography and author biography sections were compiled by Harold Forbes, previous curator of Rare Books, and were not part of this collection; they were added to the collection as separate series in 2023.

Arrangement:

This is an artificial collection created by the institution. Folders are arranged alphabetically in each series, and content is added as it becomes available.
