Preston Library renovation move [dvd] Box 04, Media Case/Sleeve 235

In December 1994 Preston Library collections and staff moved out the building while it was being renovated. The project was completed in the Spring of 1996. During this time the bulk of the books were stored in a local unoccupied building (known as "the Roses building" after a department store that once occupied it); other storage locations were Cocke Hall, Smith Hall, and misc. other local locations. Library reference and circulation services were provided out of old Lejeune Hall (which was torn down in 2006). Other staff occupied offices in Nichols, Smith Hall, and Crozet Hall.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
