Online faculty, staff, and department directories

Extent:

37.214 Gigabytes and .2 Linear Feet

Scope and content:

The University of Virginia School of Law published faculty, staff, and department directories on its public website. The online directories provide lists of names, titles, and contact information. Many versions of them also include photographs, biographies, and department affiliations.

The items in this series are representations of the online directories. Early versions of the online directory were printed onto paper and archived into this series. Later versions are preserved as born-digital objects.

Acquisition information:

At different dates, staff members at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library downloaded directory data from the Law School website, created paper and/or digital copies, and transferred them to the Library's archive.

Appraisal information:

The online directories originally existed as a series of web pages. Archivists strive to capture the directories in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when it was live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists made appraisal decisions that resulted in the creation of archived resources that might function and look different from the originals.

When using copies of the online directories, researchers should know that they are not identical to the originals. They are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
