West Virginia University, Ethics Study Committee, Records, 1980/1989

10 Linear Feet Summary: 10 ft. (8 records cartons, 15 in.)
The West Virginia University Ethics Study Committee was established in the early 1980s, with Elizabeth D. Gee, a nationally recognized leader in medical and legal ethics, serving as the executive director of the committee from 1983 to 1985. Papers such as correspondence files, meeting planning files, subject files, clippings, newsletters, and pamphlets, all from the 1980s, document early efforts to operate the ethics committee and support its work with outside resources related to the study of ethics. Files appear to be from the director's office and have been left in their original file folders. Correspondence files are organized in alphabetical order and chiefly relate to programming, events, and the basic operations of the committee. Organizational materials chiefly include planning committee agendas and schedules related to the inaugural conference in the fall of 1984; application materials and reports from an NEH Ethics and Education grant from the early 1908s; and clippings and publicity related to ethics events. Additional resources include subject files related to ethics in various fields of study; ethics newsletters, bibliographies of ethics resources, and copies of published articles about ethics.

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.
