Scope and Contents: The University Archives Subject File is a collection of news clippings, correspondence, research material, and other materials relating to and about the College of William and Mary. It encompasses the College itself, buildings and physical property, organizations, people, and events which have occurred on campus. Information on such topics as the evolution of the curriculum, land in other parts of Virginia once owned by the College, winners of awards, honorary degree recipients, and persons known to have been licensed by the College as surveyors can be found in this file. A topic might be represented by one item or several folders.
A detailed inventory of the items within a folder is not available. The Subject File collection was created in conjunction with the Archives Faculty-Alumni File, and extensive cross-indexing has been done.
A card catalog located in the SCRC lists the names of folders available in the Subject File. The card catalog was maintained and added to through January 2007. In 2007, the card catalog was digitized and each card is now available in PDF form. The cards can be searched at http://swem.wm.edu/beta/cards/. The public is encouraged to contact the Special Collections staff (spcoll@wm.edu or 757-221-3090) for assistance.
All Subject Files created in 2007 and forward are inventoried in this finding aid only and will not be found in the search interface at http://swem.wm.edu/beta/cards/.
