West Virginia University, Health Sciences Center, Dedication of Health Sciences Center and Other Planning Material
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 5155
Collection of records from the Planning, Marketing, and Communications department of the Health Sciences Center mostly related to the dedication of the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center in June 1993 with Senator Byrd in attendance. It includes photographs, planning papers, pamphlets, and motion picture material. Most of the audio-visual material documents Byrd's participation in the event. There are also a few photos of Byrd earlier in his life, and a folder on cancer awareness and the Cancer Center. There is a compact disc and VHS tape of a motion picture documentary on Senator Byrd entitled "The Soul of the Senate" (2005), and six additional VHS tapes of footage, including four of the Health Sciences Center dedication (one featuring President Bill Clinton), an interview with Byrd (undated), and a tape of West Virginia Governor Caperton discussing Senator Byrd (undated).
An addendum was added in 2026 containing six blueprints of the planned Learning Center Expansion, created by the Davis Brody Bond Architecture Agency in February 2003. The plans were approved by the Board of Governors in September 2003, and the Learning Center opened in 2007.
Audiovisual recordings must be digitized for research access. Researchers must contact the West Virginia & Regional History Center reference department.
