This collection is presumed to have been compiled by the WVRHC over multiple decades, and was known as the VHS/DVD collection prior to being transferred to its current unit. Legacy ID numbers from 1 through the 100s were pasted onto the items. When the materials became A&M 4537, new ID numbers were assigned, which are recorded in pencil on each item. A crosswalk to legacy ID numbers is available if needed.
Transferred from the WVU Libraries West Virginia & Regional History Center, 2022.
