When applying for transfer credit at other schools, students need to provide the course descriptions from the annual college catalogs for evaluation. Recent Virginia Western graduates can find their course descriptions online, but alums who graduated before 2015 have often asked Brown Library to search the archives and provide digital scans of the needed pages.
Brown Library, which manages the college archive, recently completed the project of digitizing 47 print catalogs that date back to the late 1960s. In all, 7,876 scanned pages are now available on the library website to complement the more recent, born-digital catalogs.
