Introduction

Welcome to the Primary Source guide for WGST 484, Fall 2022. This guide highlights collections held by the WVRHC, as well as digital collections curated by other repositories (below), organized by topic theme. It is not comprehensive, but rather the resources serve as a jumping off point for your own research. Drs. Watson and Cady are happy to talk with you about your topic if you'd like to work on something outside the themes listed.
