ARVAS indexes finding aids (collection descriptions) to manuscripts and archival materials held by more than 55 historical societies, libraries, museums, colleges, universities, and other cultural heritage institutions across Virginia and West Virginia. This includes finding aids for manuscript collections, record group (university records), maps, textiles, oral histories, and art and artifacts held by Special Collections and University Archives at Virginia Tech.
