Morris Harvey Archives

The University of Charleston was founded in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary at Barboursville, West Virginia. On May 28, 1901, the institution's name was changed to Morris Harvey College in honor of Mr. Morris Harvey, a generous benefactor. In 1935, the institution moved to Charleston, West Virginia, and on July 1, 1979 the name of the institution was again changed to reflect a new mission and to strengthen ties to the community.

Historical records of the institution in all its incarnations are held in the Morris Harvey Archives at the Schoenbaum Library. Items include catalogs, yearbooks, school newspapers, minutes books, scrapbooks, photographs, films, videos, sound recordings, papers and publications, and memorabilia. Materials in the Morris Harvey Archives can be viewed by appointment only. Contact the Library Director at (304) 357-4780 or e-mail Director.
