The West Virginia & Regional History Center (WVRHC), WVU Humanities Center, the Art in the Libraries program and the William A. Neal Museum of the Health Sciences provide robust cultural and educational programming and events open to all. Writers, poets, historians and prominent West Virginians and national figures have visited our spaces and added context to our materials. Along with personal connections, our exhibits are designed to facilitate community and campus collaboration and provide a venue for student and faculty researchers and artists to interact and engage the public. Because WVU Libraries does not receive state funding to achieve this land-grant mission of outreach to the wider community, donor contributions are essential.
West Virginia & Regional History Center (2U054)
Your support of the work and new acquisitions at the WVRHC brings relevant education resources to our students and helps them to draw the raw connections to the fabric of our state and national heritage.
WVU Humanities Center (2W1365)
Humanities connect us to our culture, values, languages and history. The work of the WVU Humanities Center provides important opportunities for our humanities scholars and students and will inform and inspire generations of Mountaineers to come.
Art in the Libraries (2V892)
WVU Libraries special initiatives encompass a host of activities that seek to highlight the creative endeavors and scholarship of the broad academic community.
Additionally, we have identified areas where new endowed positions can extend the expertise and resources available to our campus and community and will increase engagement with our collections. These positions are crucial for our ability to excel amongst Big 12 Conference Schools and other land-grant libraries. They also help us to effectively acquire and manage specific areas of national and state importance like our University Archives, women’s archives and the William A. Neal Museum of the Health Sciences.
Judith Gold Stitzel Feminist Activist & Women’s History Endowment (3V1230)
Support for a dedicated archivist will ensure that women’s history is identified, archived and preserved; available in classrooms, on and off campus and showcased in exhibits and programs that educate future generations and build an ever expanding and deepening understanding of women’s experiences and contributions.
Neil and Connie Bucklew University Archives Endowment (3V1068)
The work of a University Archivist will ensure that WVU’s rich legacy is honored and our shared history — through important faculty research contributions, teaching and learning, athletics and student life — is preserved for future generations. Documents and artifacts chronicling this history matter to alumni, former university presidents and administrators, staff and people of West Virginia with pride in WVU as its flagship university.
William A. Neal Museum of the Health Sciences (2W1211)
On the WVU Health Sciences Campus, the Neal Museum tells the stories of medicine in the Mountain State and the on-going incredible work of our medical professionals at WVU.
