Abstract Or Scope
Consists primarily of most copies of the Association's newsletter, Wild Water Splashes (later titles: Whitewater Splashes and Splashes) which records the minutes of the organization's meetings and plans for whitewater canoe trips. Also includes the Association's schedule/membership rosters for most years, and miscellaneous whitewater and camping itineraries and newspaper articles about the Association. The West Virginia Wild Water Association was founded in 1965 to meet the need for a local source of information about West Virginia's white-water streams and canoe and kayak sport.

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.
