This collection is comprised of photograph slides created within the West Virginia University Davis College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Landscape Architecture department and used most recently by a WVU Landscape Architecture professor, Peter Butler. The slides primarily feature historic sites, residential areas, cultural landscapes, and natural scenery within West Virginia. They also include photographs used for mining surveys, documentation of WVU campus events, and images from WVU Landscape Architecture classes and field trips. The photos represent Morgantown, Fairmont, Logan County, and Kanawha County; a few international sites, like Greece and Egypt (spread throughout the collection); and additional unspecified locations. A box-level contents list, including a rough approximation of photograph locations and topics, is available upon request by contacting the West Virginia & Regional History Center reference department.

This collection contains records from the Dean's Office of the West Virginia University's Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design, ranging from the late-1940s to the mid-2000s.

Publications and photographs relating to West Virginian botany and geology, originating from the WVU Department of Biology and Dr. Charles H. Baer, conservationist and professor of ecology. Topics include geological and archaeological surveys, studies of various sites, and West Virginian Flora. Also includes photographs of Spruce, West Virginia (Pulp Mill and Spruce Hotel, circa 1910-1912). Places mentioned include Randolph, Nicholas, Kanawha, Monongalia, and Barbour Counties, as well as Watoga and Droop Mountain Battlefield State Parks, Dolly Sods, and Cheat Lake. This collection includes Dr. Earl Core's Outlines of the Flora of West Virginia in an Acco binder, published by the WVU Bookstore in 1954. This is one of very few copies, and appears to be related to the "Flora of West Virginia" course he taught at WVU, rather than his seminal Flora of West Virginia.
