A History of U.Va. Cancer Care

This online exhibit is centered on the book "A History of Cancer Care at the University of Virginia, 1901-1911." This book provides vast insight into the teamwork, dedication, collegiality, and skill–as well as luck–which was necessary for the Cancer Center to exist today. Twenty-five oral history interviews were conducted in the course of researching the book and are included with the book or may be viewed in the videos section of this website. Written by Henry K. Sharp, Ph.D. and Morton C. Wilhelm, M.D. the Joseph Helms Farrow Professor Emeritus in Surgical Oncology, University of Virginia School of Medicine.

Audiovisual Material 22.564 Gigabytes

Maintained previously on and digitized or transferred from audio cassette, DVD, CD, and flash drive carriers at the time the collection was donated to the Library. The 22.564 GB of audiovisual content documents three events related to co-education. There are audio recordings from a 30th reunion celebration held in 2004 for the graduating class on 1974. Women were encouraged to come to a microphone to share their experiences. There is unedited footage of the 2-day event, "Celebrating the Women of the University: 40 Years of Full Co-Education, A Century of Accomplishments" held on 2011 March 25-26. The event included panel discussions hosted by the UVA Alumni Association, two of which are documented here. Panelists for the first presentation, "U.Va. Decision Time: To Admit or Not to Admit... Women", were all current or former UVA administrators with ties to coeducation decisions. Panelists for the second presentation, "Wahoo Women: The Early Years", were women alumnae from the first fully coeducated class admitted to the College in 1970. Also included are interviews of members of the Class of '74 (men and women) for an event hosted by Dale Hill called, "Pioneer Women at Mr. Jefferson's University", held at Rosemont Manor in 2012 March, as well as location footage from the event.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
