West Virginia Games and Puzzles, 1955/1989

0.25 Linear Feet Summary: 3 in. (1 large flat storage box, 3 in.)
A collection of puzzles, games (particularly board games) and other recreational activity products of or about West Virginia. The first entry is the Art Lewis Football Game, a split - T offense football board game named in honor of West Virginia University's head football coach of the 1950's. Lewis coached, perhaps, the best football teams at the University with Sam Huff being the most illustrious of a talented crop of players. The game, a production of the Morgantown Game Company, was designed to replicate an actual football game, and is played and scored according to regular college football rules. Other games with a West Virginia theme have been added to this collection.

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.
