The press consists of the body and the lever that presses the seal into desired page. On both sides of the press is a star design. The center of the star is a red circle, while the points are gold. Three gold lines come of off both sides of the star. There is a gold stripe that goes around the base of the press. Stamped on the bottom of the press in yellow is "MADE IN U.S.A." The design on the two seal plates are identical, except one is meant to indent the seal into the page, while the other will leave it embossed. The V.P.I. seal is in the center with "UT PROSIM" underneath it. Curving around the seal is text that says "VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE." Both seal plates show this in reverse. On the back of the embossing plate a small screw is in the center.

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.
