In 1608 the English explorer Capt. John Smith sailed into Chesapeake Bay and stayed for several weeks to map the shoreline. With reference to the countryside around the bay, Smith exclaimed, “Heaven and earth seemed never to have agreed better to frame a place for man’s habitation.”
In 1632 Cecilius Calvert was granted a charter for the land as a haven in which his fellow Roman Catholics might escape the restrictions placed on them in England. The first governor of the proprietary colony, Leonard Calvert, the younger brother of Cecilius, landed the founding expedition on St. Clements Island in the lower Potomac in March 1634. The first settlement and capital was St. Marys City. Aware of the mistakes made by Virginia’s first colonists, Maryland’s settlers, rather than hunt for gold, made peace with the local Native Americans and established farms and trading posts, at first on the shores and islands of the lower Chesapeake. The field hands included indentured labourers working off the terms of their passage and, after about 1639, African slaves. The most important crop was tobacco. Roads and towns were few, and contact with the English-model manor houses was largely by water.
The Calvert family provided for religious freedom in the colony, and this was formalized by the General Assembly in 1649 in an Act Concerning Religion, later famous as the Act of Religious Toleration. It granted freedom of worship, though only within the bounds of Trinitarian Christianity. One of the earliest laws of religious liberty, it was limited to Christians and repealed in 1692. Commercial disputes with Anglican Virginia and boundary quarrels with Quaker Pennsylvania and Delaware did not affect this tolerance. Puritan ascendancy in England (1648–60) caused only brief turmoil. A 1689 rebellion by Protestants overthrew the proprietary officers, leading to an interval of crown rule in the royal colony of Maryland (1692–1715). During that period the Church of England was formally established. In 1715 Maryland once again became a proprietary colony of the Calverts, who had converted to Protestantism. Maryland nonetheless remained a haven for dissidents from sectarian rigidity in other colonies.
By the 1660s the Protestant majority in Maryland came to resent the colony’s Roman Catholic leadership in St. Marys City. As the population centre shifted to the north and west, the capital was moved to Protestant-dominated Anne Arundel Town (now Annapolis) in 1694. In 1729 Baltimore was founded. Maryland’s dominant “country party” early resisted British efforts to make the colonies bear more of the costs of government. Frederick county repudiated the Stamp Act in 1765, and in 1774, the year after the Boston Tea Party, a ship loaded with tea was burned at an Annapolis dock.
The long-standing dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania over their common border was settled in 1767 when Great Britain recognized latitude 39°43′ N as the legal boundary. The boundary was named the Mason and Dixon Line for its surveyors. Thereafter, this line came to be regarded as the traditional division between the North and the South.
Marylanders took an active part in the American Revolution. Maryland is sometimes called the “Old Line State” in honour of the Maryland troops who served with Gen. George Washington. Among the most-reliable troops in the Continental Army, they were often given difficult tasks; Washington called them “The Maryland Line.” The Continental Congress, often on the move to avoid British troops, spent a winter in Baltimore. At the close of the war, it convened in Annapolis, where it accepted Washington’s resignation from the army and ratified the Treaty of Paris (1783), which acknowledged the independence of the colonies.
Postwar problems included the disposition of confiscated loyalist property, the struggle for paper money, and debtor relief. Maryland’s controversy with Virginia over the use of the Potomac and lower Chesapeake Bay, resulting in the Compact of 1785, led toward the Constitutional Convention (1787), as did the Annapolis Convention of 1786, at which Maryland was not represented. Luther Martin distinguished himself as a representative of Maryland at the Constitutional Convention. Maryland ratified the U.S. Constitution on April 28, 1788, the seventh state to do so. It also ceded territory and advanced money for public buildings to help form the District of Columbia (1791).
The state
When harassment on the high seas and other factors brought on the War of 1812, Baltimore clippers, sailing as privateers, dealt more than equal punishment to British ships. In 1814 the British troops who had burned the principal government buildings in Washington, D.C., were repulsed in their attempts to inflict similar punishment on Baltimore. Francis Scott Key, a Georgetown lawyer and an eyewitness to the futile bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British in Baltimore’s harbour, wrote the four eight-line stanzas that, set to existing music, became the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” in 1931.
With peace, Maryland and the rest of the country concentrated on making improvements in transport and communication. The Cumberland Road, or National Road, the first road to cross the Appalachians, was completed to Wheeling, Virginia (later West Virginia), in 1818. In 1828 workers began construction on the first U.S. passenger railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio, and on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, from Washington to Cumberland. The following year, the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, long under construction across the northern part of the Delmarva Peninsula, was completed. It connected the Delaware River to Chesapeake Bay. The country’s first intercity telegraph line was constructed between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore in 1843–44. In 1845 the U.S. Naval Academy was founded on the Severn River in Annapolis.
The Civil War, however, arrested Maryland’s progress. Landed gentry and residents of the Eastern Shore supported the secessionist South, while workingmen and western Marylanders stood up for the Union; a third faction favoured neutrality. In 1861 federal troops occupied Baltimore and Annapolis, and martial law was imposed in this border state. Confederate armies mounted three major invasions of Maryland territory in successive summers; they were checked at Antietam, they met full defeat at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and their threat to Washington, D.C., was dissipated in 1864. The constitution of 1864 abolished slavery and removed power from the rural aristocracy. The more-cautious constitution of 1867 remains in force.

Other Facts about Intestacy Law in Maryland
What does Intestate Mean?
When someone dies without a will, they are said to have died “intestate.” The person who has died is referred to as the "decedent." In the case of intestacy, Maryland law governs the distribution of the decedent’s property. Maryland law establishes a hierarchy that determines the order of inheritance and the corresponding percentage of the decedent's estate that each “heir” (eligible person) is entitled to receive.
Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–101
Even if a decedent dies with a will, individuals who would have been that decedent’s heirs under Maryland intestacy law have the right to be informed of any activities in the estate, including distributions. This provides for the opportunity to raise legitimate objections and concerns. Examples of legitimate objections and concerns include challenging a fraudulent or invalid will and seeking to remove a personal representative who failed to meet their duties.
Without a valid will, the personal representative must distribute the property according to Maryland intestacy law. While the personal representative is not automatically entitled to any portion of the decedent’s property, they are entitled to reasonable compensation. However, if the personal representative administers a small estate, they are not entitled to compensation for their work.
Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 7–601 and 5–604
Note that Registered Domestic Partner are equivalent to spouses for intestacy purposes. Learn more about inheritance for Registered Domestic Partnerships.
Overview of Maryland Intestacy Law:
If the decedent has children but no spouse:
Children inherit everything. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts § 3–103
If the decedent has a spouse but no living children:
Spouse inherits everything. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–102(a)
If the decedent has a spouse and children who are minors (under 18):
Spouse inherits ½ of intestate property; and
Children inherit everything else. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–102(b)
If the decedent has a spouse and descendants (who are not descendants of the surviving spouse), but no minor children:
Spouse inherits first $100,000 of intestate property and ½ of the rest; and
Descendants inherit everything else. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–102(c)
If the decedent has parents but no spouse or descendants:
Parents inherit everything. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–104
If the decedent has siblings, but no spouse, descendants, or parents:
Siblings inherit everything. Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 3–104
Other Facts about Intestacy Law in Maryland:
Adopted children receive an intestate share as if they are biological children.
Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 1–207
Foster children and stepchildren do not receive an automatic share.
Read the law: Md. Code, Estates and Trusts, § 1–205(b)
If the decedent has no will or family, the property will go to (“escheat” to) the state. This means that this property will go to the Maryland Department of Health or the county board of education in the county where the decedent was domiciled.

The governor of West Virginia is the head of government of West Virginia[2] and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.[3] The governor has a duty to enforce state laws,[2] and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the West Virginia Legislature,[4] to convene the legislature at any time,[5] and, except when prosecution has been carried out by the House of Delegates, to grant pardons and reprieves.[6]
Since West Virginia was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863, during the American Civil War, 34 men have served as governor. Two, Arch A. Moore Jr. (West Virginia's 28th and 30th governor) and Cecil H. Underwood (West Virginia's 25th and 32nd governor), served two nonconsecutive terms in office. The longest-serving governor was Moore, who served for three terms over twelve years. The state's first governor after admission into the Union, Arthur I. Boreman, served the most consecutive terms, resigning a week before the end of his third term. Before the state's admission, Francis Harrison Pierpont, the "Father of West Virginia,"[7] was elected governor during the Wheeling Convention of 1861. Daniel D.T. Farnsworth was senate president at the time; he filled the last seven days of Boreman's term and remains the shortest-serving governor. Underwood has the unusual distinction of being both the youngest person to be elected as governor (age 34 upon his first term in 1957) and the oldest to both be elected and serve (age 74 upon his second term in 1997; age 78 at the end of his second term in 2001).
The current governor is Republican Jim Justice, who assumed office on January 16, 2017. West Virginia's 36th governor, Justice was elected as a Democrat, but switched to the Republican Party on August 4 of that year.[8]
To serve as governor, a person must be at least 30 years old, and must have been a citizen of West Virginia for at least five years at the time of inauguration.[9] Under the current Constitution of West Virginia, ratified in 1872, the governor serves a four-year term commencing on the third Wednesday in January, following an election.[9] The original constitution of 1863 only called for a two-year term.[10] He may be reelected any number of times, but not more than twice in a row.[11] Any partial term served counts toward the limit of two consecutive terms.[11]
The constitution makes no mention of a lieutenant governor; if the governorship becomes vacant, the senate president acts as governor. If more than one year remains in the governor's term at the time of vacancy, a new election is held; otherwise, the senate president acts as governor for the remainder of the term.[12] A bill passed in 2000 grants the senate president the honorary title of lieutenant governor,[13] but this title is rarely used in practice and the terms of the senate president do not correspond with governorships. The same bill states that the line of succession after the senate president will be the speaker of the House of Delegates, followed by the state attorney general, the state auditor and former governors, in inverse order of term, that are in residence in the state at the time of the vacancy.[13]

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, PLAINTIFF v. STATE OF MARYLAND
on bill of complaint
Chief Justice Rehnquist delivered the opinion of the Court.
Invoking this Court’s original jurisdiction, the Commonwealth of Virginia seeks a declaration that it has a right to withdraw water from the Potomac River and to construct improvements appurtenant to the Virginia shore free from regulation by the State of Maryland. We granted Virginia leave to file a complaint, 530 U. S. 1201 (2000), and referred the action to a Special Master, 531 U. S. 922 (2001). The Special Master filed a Report recommending that we grant the relief sought by Virginia. Maryland has filed exceptions to that Report.
Rising in the Appalachian Highlands of Maryland and West Virginia, the Potomac River (River) flows nearly 400 miles before emptying into Chesapeake Bay. For the lower part of its course, it forms the boundary between Maryland and the District of Columbia on the north, and West Virginia and Virginia on the south.
Control of the River has been disputed for nearly 400 years. In the 17th century, both Maryland and Virginia laid claim to the River pursuant to conflicting royal charters issued by different British monarchs. See Maryland v. West Virginia, 217 U. S. 1, 24–29 (1910); Morris v. United States, 174 U. S. 196, 223–225 (1899).
Virginia traced her claim primarily to the 1609 charter issued by King James I to the London Company, and to a 1688 patent for Virginia’s Northern Neck, issued by King James II to Lord Thomas Culpeper. West Virginia, supra, at 28–29; Morris, supra, at 223–224. Both the 1609 charter and the 1688 patent included the entire Potomac River. Id., at 223. Maryland relied on the charter of 1632 from King Charles I to Lord Baltimore, which also included the Potomac River, although the precise scope of the grant remained in dispute. West Virginia, supra, at 20, 24–25; Morris, supra, at 223–225. In her Constitution of 1776, Virginia ceded ownership of the River to Maryland to the extent the River was included in Maryland’s 1632 charter. Va. Const., Art. XXI, reprinted in 9 W. Hening’s Statutes at Large 118 (1821). Importantly for our purposes, Virginia specifically excepted from her cession “the free navigation and use of the rivers Potowmack and Pocomoke, with the property of the Virginia shores or strands bordering on either of the said rivers, and all improvements which have been or shall be made thereon.” Ibid. In October of that same year, Maryland passed a resolution at a convention of her constitutional delegates that rejected the reservation in Virginia’s Constitution. Proceedings of the Conventions of the Province of Maryland, held at the City of Annapolis, in 1774, 1775, 1776, pp. 292–293 (J. Lucas & E. Deaver eds. 1836). The unanimous convention asserted Maryland’s “sole and exclusive jurisdiction” over the River. Ibid.
In the early years of the Republic, “great inconveniences were experienced by citizens of both Maryland and Virginia from the want of established and recognized regulations between those States respecting the jurisdiction and navigation of the river Potomac.” Wharton v. Wise, 153 U. S. 155, 162 (1894). To address these problems, Maryland and Virginia appointed commissioners, who, at the invitation of George Washington, met at Mount Vernon in March 1785. Id., at 163; 2 The Diaries of George Washington 1748–1799, p. 354 (J. Fitzpatrick ed. 1925). The Mount Vernon conference produced a binding compact (1785 Compact) between the States, which was subsequently ratified by the Maryland and Virginia Legislatures. Wharton, supra, at 165–166; 1785–1786 Md. Laws ch. 1; 1785 Va. Acts ch. 17. The 1785 Compact’s 13 articles provided, inter alia, that the River “shall be considered as a common highway, for the purpose of navigation and commerce to the citizens of Virginia and Maryland” (Article Sixth); that all laws regulating fishing and navigation “shall be made with the mutual consent and approbation of both states” (Article Eighth); and that jurisdiction over criminal offenses shall be determined based on the citizenship of the offender and the victim (Article Tenth). Va. Code Ann. Compacts App., pp. 342–343. Of particular relevance to this case, Article Seventh provided:
“The citizens of each state respectively shall have full property in the shores of Potowmack river adjoining their lands, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements, so as not to obstruct or injure the navigation of the river.” Ibid.
Although the 1785 Compact resolved many important navigational and jurisdictional issues, it did not determine the boundary line between the States, an issue that was “left … open to long continued disputes.” Marine Railway & Coal Co. v. United States, 257 U. S. 47, 64 (1921); Morris, supra, at 224; Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, 12 Pet. 657, 724 (1838). In 1874, Virginia and Maryland submitted the boundary dispute to binding arbitration before a panel of “eminent lawyers” composed of Jeremiah S. Black, James B. Beck, and Charles J. Jenkins. Maryland v. West Virginia, 217 U. S. 577, 579 (1910). On January 16, 1877, the arbitrators issued their award (hereinafter Black-Jenkins Award or Award), placing the boundary at the low-water mark on the Virginia shore of the Potomac. Although Maryland was thus granted ownership of the entire bed of the River, Article Fourth of the Award further provided:
“Virginia is entitled not only to full dominion over the soil to low-water mark on the south shore of the Potomac, but has a right to such use of the river beyond the line of low-water mark as may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, without impeding the navigation or otherwise interfering with the proper use of it by Maryland, agreeably to the compact of seventeen hundred and eighty-five.” Act of Mar. 3, 1879, ch. 196, 20 Stat. 482 (internal quotation marks omitted).
The Black-Jenkins Award was ratified by the Legislatures of Maryland and Virginia, 1878 Md. Laws ch. 274; 1878 Va. Acts ch. 246, and approved by the United States Congress, pursuant to the Compact Clause of the Constitution, Art. I, §10, cl. 3; Act of Mar. 3, 1879, ch. 196, 20 Stat. 481. See also Wharton, supra, at 172–173. We held that when Congress approved the Black-Jenkins Award it implicitly consented to the 1785 Compact as well. Id., at 173.
In 1933, Maryland established a permitting system for water withdrawal and waterway construction taking place within Maryland territory. 1933 Md. Laws ch. 526, §§4, 5 (current version codified at Md. Envir. Code Ann. §5–501 et seq. (1996)). In 1956, Fairfax County became the first Virginia municipal corporation to apply for a water withdrawal permit, seeking leave to withdraw up to 15 million gallons of water per day. App. to Exceptions of Maryland to Report of Special Master 196. Maryland granted that permit in 1957. Between 1957 and 1996, Maryland issued, without objection, at least 29 water withdrawal permits to Virginia entities. Id., at 57, 197–205. Since 1968, it has likewise issued numerous waterway construction permits to Virginia entities. Id., at 276–280.
In 1996, the Fairfax County Water Authority (FCWA) sought permits from Maryland for construction of a water intake structure extending 725 feet from the Virginia shore above the tidal reach of the Potomac River. The structure was designed to improve water quality for Fairfax County residents. Several Maryland officials opposed Virginia’s construction proposal, arguing that it would harm Maryland’s interests by facilitating urban sprawl in Virginia. In late 1997, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) refused to issue the permit, holding that Virginia had not demonstrated a sufficient need for the offshore intake. This marked the first time Maryland had denied such a permit to a Virginia entity. Virginia pursued MDE administrative appeals for more than two years, arguing at each stage that it was entitled to build the water intake structure under the 1785 Compact and the Black-Jenkins Award. In February 2000, Virginia, still lacking a permit, sought leave to file a bill of complaint in this Court, which we granted on March 30, 2000. Ultimately, the MDE’s “Final Decision Maker” determined that Virginia had demonstrated a sufficient need for the project. In 2001, Maryland finally issued the permit to FCWA, but only after the Maryland Legislature attached a condition to the permit requiring FCWA to place a permanent flow restrictor on the intake pipe to limit the amount of water that could be withdrawn from the River, 2000 Md. Laws ch. 557, §1(b)(2)(ii). See Lodging Accompanying Reply by Virginia to Maryland’s Exceptions to Report of Special Master L–336 to L–339 (hereinafter Va. Lodging) (permit issued to FCWA).
In October 2000, while Virginia’s permit request was pending, we referred Virginia’s bill of complaint to Special Master Ralph I. Lancaster, Jr. Virginia sought a declaratory judgment that Maryland may not require Virginia, her governmental subdivisions, or her citizens to obtain a permit in order to construct improvements appurtenant to her shore or to withdraw water from the River. Maryland did not dispute that Virginia had rights to withdraw water and construct improvements under the 1785 Compact and the Black-Jenkins Award. Report of the Special Master 12 (hereinafter Report). Rather, Maryland asserted that, as sovereign over the River to the low-water mark, it was entitled to regulate Virginia’s exercise of these rights. Ibid. Maryland further argued that even if the 1785 Compact and the Award granted Virginia unrestricted rights of waterway construction and water withdrawal, Virginia lost those rights by acquiescing in Maryland’s regulation of activities on the Potomac.
The Special Master recommended that we grant the relief sought by Virginia. Interpreting the 1785 Compact and the Black-Jenkins Award, he concluded that these two documents not only gave citizens of Virginia the right to construct improvements from their riparian property into the River, but gave the Commonwealth of Virginia the right to use the River beyond the low-water mark as necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian rights. The Special Master rejected Maryland’s claimed authority to regulate Virginia’s exercise of her rights, finding no support for that proposition in either the 1785 Compact or the Award. Finally, the Special Master rejected Maryland’s defense of acquiescence by Virginia.
Maryland filed exceptions to the Report of the Special Master. We now overrule those exceptions.
Virginia and Maryland agree that Article Seventh of the 1785 Compact and Article Fourth of the Black-Jenkins Award govern the instant controversy. Determining whether Virginia’s rights are subject to Maryland’s regulatory authority obviously requires resort to those documents. We interpret a congressionally approved interstate compact “[j]ust as if [we] were addressing a federal statute.” New Jersey v. New York, 523 U. S. 767, 811 (1998); see also ibid. (“[C]ongressional consent ‘transforms an interstate compact … into a law of the United States’ ” (quoting Cuyler v. Adams, 449 U. S. 433, 438 (1981))). Article Seventh of the 1785 Compact provides:
“ The citizens of each state respectively shall have full property in the shores of Potowmack river adjoining their lands, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements, so as not to obstruct or injure the navigation of the river.” Va. Code Ann. Compacts App., pp. 342–343.
The plain language of Article Seventh thus grants to the “citizens of each state” “full property” rights in the “shores of Potowmack river” and the “privilege” of building “improvements” from the shore. Notably absent is any grant or recognition of sovereign authority to regulate the exercise of this “privilege” of the “citizens of each state.” The lack of such a grant of regulatory authority in the first clause of Article Seventh contrasts with the second clause of Article Seventh and Article Eighth, which also recognized a right held by the “citizens” of each State:
“[T]he right of fishing in the river shall be common to, and equally enjoyed by, the citizens of both states … . Eighth. All laws and regulations which may be necessary for the preservation of fish … shall be made with the mutual consent and approbation of both states.” Id., at 343.
Thus, while the Article Seventh right to build improvements was not explicitly subjected to any sovereign regulatory authority, the fishing right in the same article was subjected to mutually agreed-upon regulation. We agree with Virginia that these differing approaches to rights contained in the same article of the 1785 Compact indicate that the drafters carefully delineated the instances in which the citizens of one State would be subject to the regulatory authority of the other. Other portions of the 1785 Compact reflect this design. See Article Fourth (providing that certain vessels “may enter and trade in any part of either state, with a permit from the naval-officer of the district from which such vessel departs with her cargo …”); Article Eighth (providing for joint regulation of navigation on the River); Article Ninth (providing for a bistate commission to govern the erection of “[l]ighthouses, beacons, buoys, or other signals”). Id., at 342–343. If any inference at all is to be drawn from Article Seventh’s silence on the subject of regulatory authority, we think it is that each State was left to regulate the activities of her own citizens.
Maryland, however, argues that we must read Article Seventh’s regulatory silence in her favor because her sovereignty over the River was “well-settled” by the time the 1785 Compact was drafted. Exceptions of Maryland to Report of Special Master 19 (hereinafter Md. Brief). Maryland is doubtless correct that if her sovereignty over the River was well settled as of 1785, we would apply a strong presumption against reading the Compact as stripping her authority to regulate activities on the River. See, e.g., Massachusetts v. New York, 271 U. S. 65, 89 (1926) (“[D]ominion over navigable waters, and property in the soil under them, are so identified with the exercise of the sovereign powers of government that a presumption against their separation from sovereignty must be indulged”). But we reject Maryland’s historical premise.
Each State has produced reams of historical evidence to support its respective view about the status of sovereignty over the River as of 1785. We need not delve deeply into this historical record to decide this issue. Our own cases recognize that the scope of Maryland’s sovereignty over the River was in dispute both before and after the 1785 Compact. Morris, upon which Maryland relies, does not support her argument. Therein, we observed that “[o]wing to the conflicting descriptions, as respected the Potomac River, contained in [the] royal grants, a controversy early arose between Virginia and Maryland.” 174 U. S., at 224. While the 1785 Compact resolved certain jurisdictional issues, it did not determine the boundary between the States. Ibid. Accordingly, the controversy over sovereignty was “still continuing … in 1874.” Ibid. In Marine Railway, we likewise acknowledged that even after the 1785 Compact, “the question of boundary” was left “open to long continued disputes.” 257 U. S., at 64. See also Rhode Island, 12 Pet., at 724 (“Maryland and Virginia were contending about boundaries in 1835 … and the dispute is yet an open one [in 1838]”). Morris did ultimately decide that Maryland’s 1632 charter included the Potomac River from shore to shore, 174 U. S., at 225, but this conclusion, reached in 1899, hardly negates our statements in that and other cases recognizing that the dispute over the interstate boundary continued well into the 19th century.
The mere existence of the 1785 Compact further belies Maryland’s argument. After all, the 1785 Compact sought “to regulate and settle the jurisdiction and navigation” of the River. 1785–1786 Md. Laws ch. 1 (preamble). This endeavor would hardly have been required if, as Maryland claims, her well-settled sovereignty gave her exclusive authority to regulate all activity on the River. Nowhere is this more clear than with respect to the Article Seventh right of Virginia citizens to build improvements from the Virginia shore. In 1776, Virginia had purported to reserve sovereignty over “the property of the Virginia shores or strands bordering on either of the said rivers, and all improvements which have been or shall be made thereon.” Va. Const., Art. XXI, reprinted in 9 W. Hening’s Statutes at Large 118. It would be anomalous to conclude that Maryland’s sovereign authority to regulate the construction of such improvements was so well established a mere nine years later that the 1785 Compact’s drafters did not even need to mention it.
Accordingly, we read the 1785 Compact in light of the ongoing dispute over sovereignty. Article Seventh simply guaranteed that the citizens of each State would retain the right to build wharves and improvements regardless of which State ultimately was determined to be sovereign over the River. That would not be decided until the Black-Jenkins Award of 1877.
The Black-Jenkins arbitrators held that Maryland was sovereign over the River to the low-water mark on the Virginia shore. See Act of Mar. 3, 1879, ch. 196, 20 Stat. 481–482. “[I]n further explanation of this award, the arbitrators deem[ed] it proper to add” four articles, id., at 482, the last of which provides:
“ ‘Virginia is entitled not only to full dominion over the soil to low-water mark on the south shore of the Potomac, but has a right to such use of the river beyond the line of low-water mark as may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, without impeding the navigation or otherwise interfering with the proper use of it by Maryland, agreeably to the compact of seventeen hundred and eighty-five.’ ” Ibid.
Unlike the 1785 Compact’s Article Seventh, which concerned the rights of citizens, the plain language of Article Fourth of the Award gives Virginia, as a sovereign State, the right to use the River beyond the low-water mark. Nothing in Article Fourth suggests that Virginia’s rights are subject to Maryland’s regulation. Indeed, Virginia’s riparian rights are limited only by Maryland’s right of “proper use” and the proviso that Virginia not “imped[e] … navigation,” limitations that hardly would have been necessary if Maryland retained the authority to regulate Virginia’s actions. Maryland argues, however, that the Black-Jenkins Award simply confirmed her well-settled ownership of the Potomac, and thus the rights granted to Virginia in Article Fourth are subject to Maryland’s regulatory authority.
We have already rejected Maryland’s contention that the extent of her sovereignty over the Potomac was well settled before the 1785 Compact. Similarly, we fail to see why Maryland and Virginia would have submitted to binding arbitration “for the purpose of ascertaining and fixing the boundary” between them if that boundary was already well settled. Id., at 481 (preamble). Indeed, the opinion issued by the arbitrators dispels any doubt that sovereignty was in dispute, and confirms that Virginia’s Article Fourth rights are sovereign rights not subject to Maryland’s regulation.
At the beginning of their opinion, the arbitrators explained that their task was to “ascertain what boundaries were assigned to Maryland” by her 1632 charter. Black-Jenkins Opinion (1877), App. to Report, p. D–2. The arbitrators then outlined the extent of the existing dispute over the boundary:
“ The State of Virginia, through her Commissioners and other public authorities, adhered for many years to her claim for a boundary on the left bank of the Potomac. But the gentlemen who represent her before us expressed with great candor their own opinion that a true interpretation of the King’s concession would divide the river between the States by a line running in the middle of it. This latter view they urged upon us with all proper earnestness, and it was opposed with equal zeal by the counsel for Maryland, who contended that the whole river was within the limits of the grant to Lord Baltimore.” Id., at D–7.
Thus, contrary to Maryland’s assertion, sovereignty over the River was hotly contested at the time of the arbitration. We see no reason, therefore, to depart from Article Fourth’s plain language, which grants to Virginia the sovereign right to use the River beyond the low-water mark.
The reasoning contained in the Black-Jenkins opinion confirms the plain language of Article Fourth of the Award. Although the arbitrators initially determined that the boundary contained in the 1632 charter was the high-water mark on the Virginia shore, id., at D–9, they ultimately held that Virginia had gained ownership by prescription of the soil up to the low-water mark, id., at D–18. In the same paragraph, the arbitrators explained that Virginia had a sovereign right to build improvements appurtenant to her shore:
“The evidence is sufficient to show that Virginia, from the earliest period of her history, used the South bank of the Potomac as if the soil to low water-mark had been her own. She did not give this up by her Constitution of 1776, when she surrendered other claims within the charter limits of Maryland; but on the contrary, she expressly reserved ‘the property of the Virginia shores or strands bordering on either of said rivers, (Potomac and Pocomoke) and all improvements which have or will be made thereon.’ By the compact of 1785, Maryland assented to this, and declared that ‘the citizens of each State respectively shall have full property on the shores of Potomac and adjoining their lands, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements.’ … Taking all together, we consider it established that Virginia has a proprietory right on the south shore to low water- mark, and, appurtenant thereto, has a privilege to erect any structures connected with the shore which may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, and which shall not impede the free navigation or other common use of the river as a public highway.
“To that extent Virginia has shown her rights on the river so clearly as to make them indisputable.” Id., at D–18 to D–19.
The arbitrators did not differentiate between Virginia’s dominion over the soil and her right to construct improvements beyond low-water mark. Indeed, Virginia’s right “to erect … structures connected with the shore” is inseparable from, and “necessary to,” the “full enjoyment of her riparian ownership” of the soil to low-water mark. Ibid. Like her ownership of the soil, Virginia gained the waterway construction right by a long period of prescription. That right was “reserved” in her 1776 Constitution, “assented to” by Maryland in the 1785 Compact, and “indisputabl[y]” shown by Virginia. Ibid. Thus, the right to use the River beyond low-water mark is a right of Virginia qua sovereign, and was nowhere made subject to Maryland’s regulatory authority. Maryland’s necessary concession that Virginia owns the soil to low-water mark must also doom her claim that Virginia does not possess riparian rights appurtenant to those lands to construct improvements beyond the low-water mark and otherwise make use of the water in the River.
We reject Maryland’s remaining arguments. Maryland, as well as Justice Stevens, post, at 2 (dissenting opinion), contends that the Award merely confirmed the private property rights enjoyed by Virginia citizens under Article Seventh of the 1785 Compact and the common law, which rights are in turn subject to Maryland’s regulation as sovereign over the River. The arbitration proceedings, however, were convened to “ascertai[n] and fi[x] the boundary” between coequal sovereigns, 20 Stat. 481 (preamble), not to adjudicate the property rights of private citizens. Neither Maryland nor Justice Stevens provides any reason to believe the arbitrators were addressing private property rights when they awarded “Virginia” a right to use the River beyond the low-water mark. Their interpretation, moreover, renders Article Fourth duplicative of the 1785 Compact and the common law (which secured riparian owners’ property rights) and the rest of the Black-Jenkins Award (which granted Maryland sovereignty to low-water mark). Only by reading Article Fourth in accord with its plain language can this Court give effect to each portion of the Award. See, e.g., TRW Inc. v. Andrews, 534 U. S. 19, 31 (2001) (“It is ‘a cardinal principle of statutory construction’ that ‘a statute ought, upon the whole, to be so construed that, if it can be prevented, no clause, sentence, or word shall be superfluous, void, or insignificant’ ”) (quoting Duncan v. Walker, 533 U. S. 167, 174 (2001) (some internal quotation marks omitted)).
Relatedly, Maryland argues that the Award could not have “elevate[d],” Md. Brief 29, the private property rights of the 1785 Compact to sovereign rights because the arbitrators disclaimed “authority for the construction of this compact,” Black-Jenkins Opinion (1877), App. to Report, at D–18. Again, Maryland mischaracterizes the arbitrators’ decision. In granting Virginia sovereign riparian rights, the arbitrators did not construe or alter any private rights under the 1785 Compact; rather, they held that Virginia had gained sovereign rights by prescription.
Finally, Maryland notes that under Article Fourth of the Award, Virginia must exercise her riparian rights on the River “ ‘without impeding the navigation or otherwise interfering with the proper use of it by Maryland … .’ ” 20 Stat. 482 (emphasis added). Maryland suggests that this language indicates her continuing regulatory authority over Virginia’s exercise of her riparian rights. This seems to us a strained reading. The far more natural reading accords with the plain language of the Award and opinion: Maryland and Virginia each has a sovereign right to build improvements appurtenant to her own shore and to withdraw water, without interfering with the “proper use of” the River by the other.
Justice Kennedy, while acknowledging that Virginia has a right to use the River, argues that Maryland may regulate Virginia’s riparian usage so long as she does not exclude Virginia from the River altogether. Post, p. 1 (dissenting opinion). To reach this conclusion, he reasons that the Black-Jenkins Opinion rested Virginia’s prescriptive riparian rights solely on Maryland’s assent to the riparian rights granted to private citizens in the 1785 Compact. Post, at 6–9. According to Justice Kennedy, therefore, “Virginia’s claims under Black-Jenkins rise as high as the Compact but no higher.” Post, at 8.
We have already held that the Award’s plain language permits no inference of Maryland’s regulatory authority, supra, at 11-12; we also disagree that the arbitrators relied solely on the 1785 Compact as support for Virginia’s prescriptive rights. To the contrary, the arbitrators’ opinion also relied upon Virginia’s riparian usage “from the earliest period of her history” and her express reservation in her 1776 Constitution of the unrestricted right to build improvements from the Virginia shore. Black-Jenkins Opinion (1877), App. to Report, p. D–18. Indeed, since the arbitrators disclaimed “authority for the construction of [the 1785] compact … because nothing which concern[ed] it” was before them, ibid., it would be anomalous to conclude that Virginia’s “sole right” under the Award “stem[s] from,” and is “delimited” by, Article Seventh of the Compact. Post, at 8, 9 (Kennedy, J., dissenting).
Accordingly, we conclude that the Black-Jenkins Award gives Virginia sovereign authority, free from regulation by Maryland, to build improvements appurtenant to her shore and to withdraw water from the River, subject to the constraints of federal common law and the Award.
We next consider whether Virginia has lost her sovereign riparian rights by acquiescing in Maryland’s regulation of her water withdrawal and waterway construction activities. We recently considered in depth the “affirmative defense of prescription and acquiescence” in New Jersey, 523 U. S., at 807. To succeed in her defense, Maryland must “ ‘show by a preponderance of the evidence … a long and continuous … assertion of sovereignty over’ ” Virginia’s riparian activities, as well as Virginia’s acquiescence in her prescriptive acts. Id., at 787 (quoting Illinois v. Kentucky, 500 U. S. 380, 384 (1991)). Maryland has not carried her burden.
Although “we have never established a minimum period of prescription” necessary for one State to prevail over a coequal sovereign on a claim of prescription and acquiescence, New Jersey, supra, at 789, we have noted that the period must be “substantial,” id., at 786. Maryland asserts that in the 125 years since the Black-Jenkins Award, Virginia has acquiesced in her pervasive exercise of police power over activities occurring on piers and wharves beyond the low-water mark. Among other things, Maryland claims, and Virginia does not dispute, that it has taxed structures erected on such improvements (i.e., restaurants, etc.); issued licenses for activities occurring thereon (i.e., liquor, gambling, etc.); and exercised exclusive criminal jurisdiction over crimes occurring on such improvements beyond the low-water mark. We agree with the Special Master that this evidence has little or no bearing on the narrower question whether Virginia acquiesced in Maryland’s efforts to regulate her right to construct the improvements in the first instance and to withdraw water from the River. See Report 79–82. With respect to Maryland’s regulation of these particular rights, the claimed prescriptive period is much shorter.
It is undisputed that Maryland issued her first water withdrawal permit to a Virginia entity in March 1957 and her first waterway construction permit in April 1968. The prescriptive period ended, at the latest, in February 2000, when Virginia sought leave to file a bill of complaint in this Court. Accordingly, Maryland has asserted a right to regulate Virginia’s water withdrawal for, at most, 43 years, and a right to regulate waterway construction for, at most, 32 years. Only once before have we deemed such a short period of time sufficient to prove prescription in a case involving our original jurisdiction. See Nebraska v. Wyoming, 507 U. S. 584, 594–595 (1993) (41 years). In that case, we held that Nebraska’s sovereign right to water stored in certain inland lakes was established by a decree issued in 1945. Id., at 595. We held, in the alternative, that “Wyoming’s arguments are foreclosed by its postdecree acquiescence” for 41 years. Ibid. Here, it is Virginia’s sovereign right that was clearly established by a prior agreement, and Maryland that seeks to defeat those rights by showing Virginia’s acquiescence. Under these circumstances, it is far from clear that such a short prescriptive period is sufficient as a matter of law. Cf. New Jersey, 523 U. S., at 789 (noting that a prescriptive period of 64 years is “not insufficient as a matter of general law”). But even assuming such a short prescriptive period would be adequate to overcome a sovereign right granted in a federally approved interstate compact, Maryland’s claim fails because it has not proved Virginia’s acquiescence.
To succeed on the acquiescence prong of her defense, Maryland must show that Virginia “failed to protest” her assertion of sovereign authority over waterway construction and water withdrawal. Id., at 807. As the Special Master found, however, Virginia vigorously protested Maryland’s asserted authority during the negotiations that led to the passage of §181 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (WRDA), 90 Stat. 2917, 2939–2940, codified at 42 U. S. C. §1962d–11a.
Section 181 ultimately required Maryland and Virginia to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Army apportioning the waters of the Potomac River during times of low flow. 90 Stat. 2939–2940. At the outset of negotiations over §181, Maryland proposed a draft bill that asserted her exclusive authority to allocate water from the Potomac. Virginia officials protested Maryland’s proposal in three congressional hearings during the summer of 1976, asserting Virginia’s unqualified right to withdraw water from the River, and objecting that Maryland’s bill “might deprive Virginia of its riparian rights to the waters of the Potomac River as guaranteed by the 1785 compact … and the arbitration award of 1877 … .” Omnibus Water Resources Development Act of 1976: Hearings before the Subcommittee on Water Resources of the Senate Committee on Public Works, 94 Cong., 2d Sess., 2068 (statement of J. Leo Bourassa) (Aug. 5, 1976); see also Potomac River: Hearings and Markup before the Subcommittee on Bicentennial Affairs, the Environment, and the International Community, and the House Committee on the District of Columbia, 94th Cong., 2d Sess., 680, 693–694, 703 (statement of Earl Shiflet) (June 25, 1976); Water Resources Development—1976: Hearings before the Subcommittee on Water Resources of the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, 94th Cong., 2d Sess., 442–446 (statement of Eugene Jensen) (Aug. 31, 1976). As a result of Virginia’s protest, the final legislation provided that “nothing in this section shall alter any riparian rights or other authority of … the Commonwealth of Virginia, or any political subdivision thereof … relative to the appropriation of water from, or the use of, the Potomac River.” 42 U. S. C. §1962d–11a(c). Similarly, nothing in the Low Flow Allocation Agreement reached by Maryland and Virginia pursuant to the WRDA suggested that Maryland had authority to regulate Virginia’s riparian rights in the River. Va. Lodging L–285 to L–309. We hold that §181 of the WRDA and the Low Flow Allocation Agreement are conclusive evidence that, far from acquiescing in Maryland’s regulation, Virginia explicitly asserted her sovereign riparian rights.

Accordingly, we overrule Maryland’s exceptions to the Report of the Special Master. We grant the relief sought by Virginia and enter the decree proposed by the Special Master.
It is so ordered.
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, PLAINTIFF v. STATE OF MARYLAND
on bill of complaint
Justice Kennedy, with whom Justice Stevens joins, dissenting.
Failing to appreciate a basic rule of territorial adjudication, the Court concludes it must “reject Maryland’s historical premise” that in 1785 the State had title to the Potomac River (River), its bed, and its waters. Ante, at 9. In my respectful view, and contrary to the majority’s premise, the circumstance that two parties both claim rights to a parcel of land has no legal significance if one of the two parties has clear title already, absent some further argument that the claim against the holder of the title is reinforced by a history of prescription, estoppel, or adverse use. Contra, ibid. (relying on the fact that “the scope of Maryland’s sovereignty over the River was in dispute both before and after the 1785 Compact” to conclude that Maryland lacked sovereignty over the River in 1785). Just as this basic rule of property adjudication is true of disputes between two private persons, it is true of title disputes between States. “No court acts differently in deciding on boundary between states, than on lines between separate tracts of land.” Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, 12 Pet. 657, 734 (1838). See also Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, 4 How. 591, 628 (1846) (“[A]scertain[ing] and determin[ing] the boundary in dispute … , disconnected with the consequences which follow, is a simple question, differing little, if any, in principle from a disputed line between individuals”). Cf. Alabama v. Georgia, 23 How. 505 (1860) (settling quiet title action between States by engaging in traditional quiet title analysis).
Since “[t]here is not in fact, or by any law can be, any territory which does not belong to one or the other state; so that the only question is, to which the territory belongs,” 12 Pet., at 733, a competent authority’s determination that a sovereign’s title lies clear and unimpaired necessarily has retrospective force. This is so despite the losing sovereign’s prior attempt to gain what was not its own.
The majority, in the face of these doctrines and precedents, nonetheless relies on the proposition that Maryland’s historical title is to be doubted because Virginia long disputed it and the parties undertook to resolve the dispute. It is a curious proposition to suggest that by submitting to adjudication, arbitration, or compact negotiations a party concedes its rights are less than clear. The opposite inference is just as permissible. The implication of the majority’s principle, moreover, is that self-help and obdurate refusal to submit a claim to resolution have some higher standing in the law than submission of disputes to a competent authority.
Until today, the competent authorities to whom Maryland and Virginia submitted their dispute have been clear and unanimous on this point: As of 1784, the year before the Compact, the Governor of Virginia could not enter the waters of the Potomac to cool himself by virtue of any title Virginia then had to the riverbed. Title to the whole River, and its bed, was in Maryland. First, in 1877, the parties agreed, with later congressional approval, that Maryland had clear title to the whole River dating from 1632. See Black-Jenkins Opinion (1877), App. to Report of Special Master, p. D–9 (hereinafter App. to Report of Special Master) (“The intent of the [original 1632 Maryland] charter is manifest all through to include the whole river within Lord Baltimore’s grant”). Then, as if this 1877 determination were not enough, this Court independently reviewed the question in 1899. The Court, too, reached the conclusion that Maryland had clear title to the whole River dating from 1632. The Court said, “the grant to Lord Baltimore, in unmistakable terms, included the Potomac River.” Morris v. United States, 174 U. S. 196, 223 (1899). And the Court confirmed this determination in 1910. See Maryland v. West Virginia, 217 U. S. 1, 45–46 (1910). Thus, unless prescription had been worked by some previous conduct to give Virginia at least some limited rights, in 1784 Maryland had clear title to the whole River, as much as in 1632.
Neither Virginia’s counsel nor the majority of the Court today contends that prescription occurred prior to the Compact of 1785. In 1784, therefore, under the law, Virginia had little more than a land border between it and Maryland in the area here under consideration; Virginia did not have a river border since the River was not its own. That in 1784 Virginia did not admit Maryland’s clear title to this territory and was unwilling to comply with Maryland’s continuing and consistent demands that it respect Maryland’s sovereign control over the River did not cloud the smooth stretch of Maryland’s title back to 1632.
Whether the Governor of the Commonwealth, in 2003, may cool himself in the River—or in this case, build a water pipe for the benefit of communities not on the riverbank—without so much as an “if you please” to the State of Maryland entirely depends upon whether in the intervening time since 1784 Maryland has in some way ceded its sovereignty over the River. See United States v. Cherokee Nation of Okla., 480 U. S. 700, 707 (1987) (“[A] waiver of sovereign authority will not be implied, but instead must be ‘surrendered in unmistakable terms’ ”); 12 Pet., at 733 (“[T]itle, jurisdiction, and sovereignty, are inseparable incidents, and remain so till the state makes some cession”).
Virginia asserts that an agreement and an award set out in two documents establish that Maryland ceded Virginia an unqualified right to enter upon Maryland’s territory. The case, therefore, turns on these two documents: the 1785 Compact between the two States and their 1877 arbitrated award (Black-Jenkins Award or Award).
Via the 1785 Compact, Article Seventh, both States promised the other rights to use the River that presuppose neither could exclude the other from the River.
“The citizens of each state respectively shall have full property in the shores of Potowmack river adjoining their lands, with all emoluments and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements, so as not to obstruct or injure the navigation of the river.” Va. Code Ann. Compacts App., pp. 342–343.
Thus, in effect, they gave one another assurances of River access in exchange for the identical, reciprocal pledge. The mutual promise was sensible enough since at the time both parties claimed to own the whole River, and equally, therefore, neither accepted the other’s claim to have any right to gain access to the River. The Compact, in essence, was a predictable and intelligent hedging agreement (protecting both from the danger that at some later point the other’s claim to full and clear title would be confirmed by a competent legal authority).
Once it was established by a competent legal authority that Maryland had clear title to the whole River, the terms of Article Seventh of the Compact, in retrospect, became the sole fount of Virginia’s right to River access. The terms by which the parties promised River access to one another became relevant, as one would expect from a hedging agreement, after occurrence of the development the parties hedged against.
Maryland, as the territory’s sovereign, once could have excluded Virginia landowners from the River, but Article Seventh abrogates Maryland’s right of sovereignty to this extent. By its clear language, Article Seventh creates a right for citizen landowners to have some access to the River territory by, for example, the construction of improvements appurtenant to the shore.
Article Seventh, however, does not abrogate Maryland’s sovereign right to exercise its police power, and the regulatory authority that implies, over its River territory; and the majority does not contend otherwise. The citizen landowner rights created by Article Seventh, as a consequence, remain subject to Maryland’s sovereign powers insofar as that consists with Virginia’s guaranteed access. That the landowners’ rights are so limited is well illustrated by the very different language the parties used when they wanted to abrogate one another’s police power over citizens or the other State. For example, as the majority agrees, Articles Fourth, Eighth, and Ninth of the Compact all contain express and particular police power abrogations. See ante, at 8–9. So does Article Tenth. Article Seventh, however, stands in clear contrast to these provisions. It does not contemplate the transfer or abrogation of Maryland’s police power. It cannot be the basis for concluding that Virginia’s citizens now have not just a right of access to the River, but the additional right of access free of Maryland’s regulatory police power. See Massachusetts v. New York, 271 U. S. 65, 89 (1926) (“[D]ominion over navigable waters, and property in the soil under them, are so identified with the exercise of the sovereign powers of government that a presumption against their separation from sovereignty must be indulged”).
As a result, Article Seventh sets up an awkward situation, forcing this Court to reconcile a landowner right not to be excluded with Maryland’s sovereign regulatory authority. In effect, it forces the Court to inquire whether any particular regulation amounts instead to an exclusion prohibited by the Compact. That the Compact forces this determination, parallel to that at issue in a case of an overburdened easement, is no reason to deny its plain language or the accepted proposition that Maryland has long had title to the River and its bed.
The next step is to consider the 1877 Black-Jenkins Award and to ask whether that Award expands Virginia’s rights of River access beyond what was provided in the Compact. The Black-Jenkins Award affirms that Virginia, as much as its citizens, has riparian rights under the 1785 Compact, to the extent of the Commonwealth’s own riparian ownership. See ante, at 11. The question remains, however, whether Black-Jenkins converted Virginia’s right of riparian ownership under Article Seventh to a right of sovereignty in the waters. For, if it did not do so, then Virginia’s right of access to the River is limited like that of any other riparian owner under Article Seventh. In relevant part, the Award states:
“Fourth. Virginia is entitled not only to full dominion over the soil to low-water mark on the south shore of the Potomac, but has a right to such use of the river beyond the line of low-water mark as may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, without impeding the navigation or otherwise interfering with the proper use of it by Maryland, agreeably to the compact of seventeen hundred and eighty-five.” Act of Mar. 3, 1879, ch. 196, 20 Stat. 482 (internal quotation marks omitted).
The majority suggests this language gives Virginia sovereign rights to the River because it uses the words “Virginia” and “full dominion.” See ante, at 14 (“The arbitrators did not differentiate between Virginia’s dominion over the soil and her right to construct improvements beyond low-water mark”). That reading cannot be right for two reasons. First, the evident design of Paragraph Fourth is to acknowledge a Virginia access right parallel to that of its own citizens who were riparian landowners. Paragraph Fourth sets out two recitations, and they are in contradistinction. Virginia is granted “full dominion” up to the low water line. This is unlimited. What comes next is not. As to the rights beyond this full dominion, that is to say beyond the low water line, Virginia has only the rights of a riparian owner. If the arbitrators meant to set the two rights in parallel, as Virginia argues, they would not have used the word “but” to distinguish them. Further, the phrase “a right to such use” is limited by the phrase “riparian ownership.” This is far different from saying Virginia has full dominion “up to the low water line, and with respect to” any improvements it makes appurtenant to its shore.
Second, Black-Jenkins states that the limited rights Virginia has, the Commonwealth achieved by prescription. Maryland acquiesced to Virginia’s adverse use, Black-Jenkins says, as a result of Maryland’s adherence to Article Seventh of the Compact.
“Virginia, from the earliest period of her history, used the South bank of the Potomac as if the soil to low water-mark had been her own. She did not give this up by her Constitution of 1776, when she surrendered other claims within the charter limits of Maryland; but on the contrary, she expressly reserved ‘the property of the Virginia shores or strands bordering either side of said rivers, (Potomac and Pocomoke,) and all improvements which have or will be made thereon.’ By the compact of 1785, Maryland assented to this, and declared that ‘the citizens of each State respectively shall have full property on the shores of Potomac … and advantages thereunto belonging, and the privilege of making and carrying out wharves and other improvements.’ We are not authority for the construction of this compact, because nothing which concerns it is submitted to us . . . . Taking all together, we consider it established that Virginia has a proprietory right on the south shore to low water-mark, and, appurtenant thereto, has a privilege to erect any structures connected with the shore which may be necessary to the full enjoyment of her riparian ownership, and which shall not impede the free navigation or other common use of the river as a public highway.” App. to Report of Special Master D18–D19 (quoting Article Seventh of the Compact).
That Maryland’s “assent” and “declaration” in the Compact prove Maryland’s acquiescence in Black-Jenkins’ prescription analysis illustrates the limits of the Award: The prescriptive rights it recognized stemmed from the Compact. Virginia’s claims under Black-Jenkins rise as high as the Compact but no higher. The Commonwealth can do no more than assert those rights granted to landowners by Article Seventh.
The above analysis, of course, does not depend on the conclusion that Maryland’s acquiescence was the sole basis for the Black-Jenkins Award, as the majority contends. See ante, at 17. A factor in any test can be a necessary though not sufficient element. Here, the arbitrators’ express aim was to apply “[u]sucaption, prescription, or the acquisition of title founded on long possession, uninterrupted and undisputed,” which they noted were intended to help sovereigns avoid the “bloody wars” that territorial disputes occasion. See App. to Report of Special Master D17–D18. The inquiry into acquiescence (i.e., whether the territory was disputed) fits into that analytical framework as a necessary, though not sole, factor. The other factors, such as Virginia’s long use, were also necessary, though not sole factors. This explains why the arbitrators said Virginia’s long use and Maryland’s acquiescence were “Tak[en] all together.” See id., at D19. It also explains why the text of the Award—which after all is of greater significance than the arbitrator’s attached opinion—distinguishes between Virginia’s full dominion up to the low water line and its use rights beyond that point, a distinction consistent with Article Seventh.
The majority’s decision ultimately seems to rely on rights stemming from some other, additional prescription to conclude that Paragraph Fourth expands Virginia’s rights. See ante, at 16. It fails to explain, however, what other rights Black-Jenkins identified other than those achieved by the prescription discussed above. Notwithstanding the majority’s conclusory position, the sole right acknowledged in Black-Jenkins was that which was delimited by the operation of Article Seventh
The majority also implies, in footnote 8 of its opinion, that Virginia’s right to use the River free from Maryland’s regulation is equally a matter of federal common law. See ante, at 17, n. 9 (relying on Colorado v. New Mexico, 459 U. S. 176 (1982)). That suggestion cannot be right, however. The doctrine on which the majority relies pertains to interstate bodies of water. As explained above, the Potomac River belongs to Maryland and so is not an interstate body of water. Those cases in which we have considered the common-law rights of sovereigns who either both had title to half of a river, or who both had full title to a river but at different points in its flow, such as Colorado, are inapposite to this unique, sole-title context.
Since Black-Jenkins does not expand Virginia’s right of access, Article Seventh’s framework controls. The awkwardness of asking whether a regulation by Maryland amounts to exclusion is heightened here, where Virginia, as a riparian landowner, asserts its right to have access to the River for the purpose of serving needs well beyond recognized riparian use. This, in turn, raises the question whether Maryland can decide Virginia has too much population, and on that ground deny Virginia access for the purpose of meeting water demands.
This, to be sure, is a question of considerable difficulty, for it is not our law or our constitutional system to allow one State to regulate transactions occurring in another or to project its legislative power beyond its own borders. See Baldwin v. G. A. F. Seelig, Inc., 294 U. S. 511, 523 (1935). Virginia’s access rights, though not rights of sovereignty, are rights held by a sovereign, which Maryland well knew when it signed the Compact. And, nothing in the Compact gives Maryland the power to regulate the Commonwealth of Virginia as most States can regulate their own riparian landowners; specifically, Paragraph Fourth of the Award (like Article Seventh of the Compact) prohibits Maryland from excluding Virginia from the River. These considerations counsel careful deliberation before deciding whether Maryland regulation amounts to an exclusion in light of the particular riparian use at issue.
Determining whether a regulation is either (1) a legitimate River regulation of riparian use, or (2) a wrongful exclusion, under the Compact, of the riparian owner from the River, may implicate some limitations based on a reasonable prediction of consequences to the River’s flow. That is the question that Virginia should have submitted to the Special Master. The majority, however, simply holds that Virginia has a right to gain access to and enjoy the River coextensive with Maryland’s own. Its ruling denies the force of the historical documents at issue. It has no logical basis either, unless the majority also makes the silent assumption that Virginia is constrained by some principle of reasonableness. The majority’s interpretation, that Virginia’s right is whole, sovereign, and unobstructed, otherwise leads to the conclusion that Virginia could build all the way across the River if the Commonwealth so chooses, as long as the Commonwealth itself concludes the construction is an improvement appurtenant to its shoreline and not an obstruction to the River’s navigability.
The anomaly that exists because of the rather unusual circumstance that Maryland owns the entirety of the River affects this case’s difficulty; but it does not affect the fact that the Court must confront the problem, not ignore it and send Maryland and its rights away by fiat. This is particularly true in light of the fact that Virginia’s right to access and Maryland’s right to regulate have coexisted in actual application for nearly 50 years. See ante, at 5. History shows the framework can be workable.
If Maryland’s attempted regulation of Virginia contradicts Virginia’s place in the federal system, that matter can be explored from case to case. Here, however, the Commonwealth did not ask the Special Master, as it should have, to consider whether, given the nature of the riparian rights at issue, see ante, at 2–3 (Stevens, J., dissenting), the effect of the proposed use on the River, and the attempted regulation at issue, Maryland has in effect excluded Virginia from its rightful riparian use, as distinct from enacting reasonable regulations of that use. Virginia is not due the broad relief it instead now receives: the majority’s declaration that Virginia is the sovereign of whatever Maryland territory appurtenant to Virginia’s shoreline Virginia now chooses to claim. In agreement with Justice Stevens, I would sustain Maryland’s objections to the Report of the Special Master and enter judgment dismissing Virginia’s complaint. For these reasons, with respect, I dissent.

WEST VIRGINIA WESLEY AN COLLEGE BULLETIN 1 9 6 7 1 9 6 8 A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES BUCKHANNON, WEST VIRGINIA Objectives of the College It is the purpose of West Virginia Wesleyan College to be a Christian college of liberal arts in the sense that its total program is motivated by Christian ideals and principles, and is directed toward the development of competent, cultured, Christian persons. The College seeks to help each student, in the light of his individual abilities, interests, and needs, to become such a person by attaining the following specific objectives: 1. Ability and disposition to read the English language with understanding, and to speak and write it correctly and effectively. (Stressed in total program, and particulary in composition and speech.) 2. Ability and disposition to think clearly, objectively, independently, and con- structively. (Stressed in total program, and particularly in mathematics, natural and social sciences, and philosophy.) 3. Ability and disposition to order one's own life in such fashion as to realize the highest possible degree of health and efficiency of both body and mind. (Stressed in total program, and particularly in physical education and psychology.) 4. A broad orientation in the liberal arts — some understanding and appreciation of the content and value of the main fields of learning and of the major problems of human life. (Stressed particularly, but not exclusively, in required courses in general education. See General Education.) 5. Sufficient concentration in some fields, or fields, to constitute adequate preparation for graduate study or immediate entrance into some well considered vocation. Through its program of testing and guidance the College undertakes to help the student to choose wisely his vocation or profession. Through its instructional program it undertakes to help him acquire the knowledge and develop the skills essential to success in his chosen field. (Stressed particularly in courses constituting the student's major and minor, and in the guidance program.) 6. Understanding, appreciation, and experience of the Christian religion — de- velopment and practice of a Christian philosophy of life. (Stressed in total program, and particularly in courses in Bible, philosophy, and religion, in college chapel, in student organizations of a religious character, and in participation in life of local churches.) 7. Ability and disposition to be a good citizen — to participate in, and assume leadership in, socially constructive organizations and activities; and to foster exten- sion of democracy and development of a worthy cosmopolitanism. (Stressed in total program, and particularly in student participation in government, student organiza- tions, and extracurricular activities.)

S I College ^^ Bulletin CATALOGUE NUMBER 1967-68 BUCKHANNON, WEST VIRGINIA ] People often ask, "What's in a name?" and in the same manner we might well ask, "What's in a college?" The content of a name depends on how much one gives to life. Similarly, the value of college is measured by the degree to which one gives himself to the total educational experi- ence. When college is approached seriously and with full commitment only good results and the stature of the individual is enhanced. A sense of clear purpose is then essential to a profitable college experience. As the individual must have a clear purpose to achieve success in life, so also an institution such as a college must have a purpose if it is to achieve its largest dimensions. The purposes and objectives of West Virginia Wesleyan College reflect the institution's desire to help the in- dividual achieve maturity. College, then, is a joint experience in which both the individual and institution join hands in the all important search for meaning. As one applies himself in a conscientious search for information and follows the inspiration and direction of dedicated teachers he \\-ill be- come increasingly aware of the possibilities of chosen fields, and will develop a competence and maturity that always characterize the good student. As one participates in the total cultural life of the institution, horizons are broadened and the richness of our civilization and culture becomes apparent. As one performs the role of a good citizen in the campus community, shares in the ser\ices of worship, studies the religious heritage of our people, and explores religious values, the Christian life becomes commanding and its radiance is reflected in all that one does. "What's in a college," then, depends in large measure on how faith- fully each student takes advantage of his college opportunities and how faithfully he strives to reflect the highest ideals and objectives of the in- stitution. West Virginia Wesleyan College is dedicated to the best in life and it invites you to find the best, to master it and to live it. mz '^:^^^^Wi^sMS ■- - f.

The Christian college is a community of teachers and students seeking to know the nature of the universe created by God and the kind of society in which man can live according to God's will. If this definition appeals to you, you will find West Virginia Wesleyan to your liking — for it seeks to be a Christian College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the sense that its total program is motivated by Christian ideals and principles, and is directed toward the development of competent, cul- tured, Christian persons. The College seeks to help you to become a competent, cultured, Chris- tian person by providing you with a faculty of capable teachers of sub- stantial Christian influence; by furnishing you with a program of indivi- dual guidance designed to help you make the best possible use of your talents, time, opportunities; and by constantly restudying the College's objectives and procedures in order to improve them. An integral part of this general Christian emphasis is the College's high academic standards. West Virginia Wesleyan College is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; is accredited by the University Senate of The Methodist Church, and by the University of the State of New York. The College holds membership in the National Association of Schools of Music, and is approved by the West Virginia Department of Education. Wesleyan is also a member of the National Commission on Accredit- ing, the American Council on Education, the Association of American 8 West Virginia Wesleyan College Colleges, and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Educa- tion; is approved for membership purposes by the American Association of University Women, is a member of the Regional Council for Inter- national Education, and is an Educational Associate of the Institute of International Education. Because the Christian college is seeking to understand all of God's world, it is naturally interested in bringing to the campus the finest in lectures and cultural events. For example, the 1966-67 Concert Series included performances by The First Chamber Dance Quartet, Edith Peinemann, Violinist; and Revel- ers Male Quartet. Last year Wesleyan participated in the Regional Council for Inter- national Education's Scholar in Residence Program and played host to Dr. Tetsuro Sasaki, eminent Japanese scholar. Each year special prominent guest lecturers are secured for the Divisional Lectures Series, the Schoolcraft Lecture, and many other special lectureships and seminars. The cultural enrichment program is further implemented by the students of Wesleyan as they plan, direct, and produce other cultural pro- grams. A weekly assembly, held on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m., presents a variety of programs which include lectures, concerts by individuals and groups, college organizations, and Community Council activities. Integrating these many cultural activities is an extensive religious program, including a campus-wide chapel service conducted every Tues- day morning at 10:00 and 11:00 o'clock. The religious life program of the campus is coordinated by a Re- ligious Life Council composed of faculty and students who represent the religious interests of the College community and the major denomina- tions represented in the student body. The work of the Council is carried on by committees which present religious programs on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, Thursday evenings, and the annual Christian Emphasis Week, as well as other special occasions. The central religious concern of the campus is further illustrated by the presence of a large number of preministerial students serving approxi- mately one hundred rural churches in the vicinity of the College. Of the 1,598 full-time students, enrolled during the first semester of 1966-67, ninety-seven were preparing for the work of the Christian ministry, and sixty-five others were preparing for careers in Christian Education and related vocations. Implicit in the mature religious outlook is always the concern for the whole person. It is in view of this outlook that West Virginia Wesleyan College provides you with a wide range of co-curricular activities. You will find quality programs in athletic and intermural sports, indicating the College's serious concern for your physical well-being. An unusually fine choir, band, and other musical organizations permit you to express your musical talents in creative ways. Social fraternities and sororities, considered an integral part of the College community, allow you to participate in a specialized fellowship, if you so desire. If you have inclinations toward acting or speaking, you will find drama, speech, and debate groups looking for your enthusiasm. Individual sports such as hiking, spelunking, and skiing give ample opportunity for leisure time activities. These many co-curricular programs are maintained in the belief that the Christian college of liberal arts should provide for self-realization in all realms, spiritual, intellectual, and physical. 10 West Virginia Wesleyan College WHERE AND WHAT IS WESLEYAN? Over seventy-five years ago a small group of dedicated West Virginia Methodists, bold enough to "see visions and dream dreams" of a great college at the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, founded what was then known as the West Virginia Conference Seminary. From the very beginning the salient task of the College's administrators, faculty members, students, and friends has been to turn this pioneer vision into reality. Now WVWC stands erect in the world of higher education and in- vites you, the incoming student, to join this growing Wesleyan tradition. Though the general aims and commitments of the present College are essentially the same as they were at its founding in 1890, the campus has been greatly extended and the physical facilities have multiplied at an almost phenomenal rate. Located in Buckhannon, a city of more than 8,000 inhabitants near the geographical center of West Virginia, the 75-acre campus of native oaks and other beautiful trees and shrubs con- tains over a dozen buildings of modified Georgian design. The Lynch-Raine Administration Building houses the administra- tive offices, certain academic departments, and Atkinson Chapel. The Raymond Science Hall contains the Departments of Biology; Chemistry; Astronomy, Geography, and Geolog)'; Mathematics; Physics, and houses also the Museum of Natural Science. The L. L. Loar and Family Memorial Building provides studios, classrooms, and practice rooms for the Departments of Music and Fine and Applied Arts. The Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library houses a collection of more than 70,000 volumes. The Administration Annex contains faculty offices, the Center for the Study of Latin America, and other facilities. The Gymnasium houses the De- partment of Physical Education, and Ross Field, adjacent to it, provides football and track facilities. The Benedum Campus Community Center has new facilities for swimming, bowling and other activities, as well as a coffee shop, post office and bookstore. The chapel and religious center contains a sanctuary which can seat the entire college community, provides offices and classrooms for the De- partment of Bible and Religion and the Department of Philosophy, and contains various physical facilities for appropriate activities. Fleming Hall provides room for 150 men, McCuskey Hall houses 160 men and Doney Hall provides room for 150 men. Agnes Howard Hall provides room for 130 women, its basement area serving as the Student Personnel Center. Jenkins Hall provides room for 150 women, and Holloway Hall houses 200 women. Besides these on-campus facilities, WVWC provides three large houses for women students, a laboratory kindergarten, a computing center, the Edna Jenkins Home Economics Cottage, the Alumni House, and the Appalachian Art Center. These physical facilities, homogenized with the friendly spirit of Wes- leyan and a wide curriculum of offerings in the liberal arts and sciences, make the College an ideal place for study and for living the life good to live.

The center co-ordinates and is concerned with various services, primarily related to the students and their activity out- side the classroom. The services included are: the cultural and religious development of students; housing of students; counseling and testing; the health, physical fitness, and medical program; campus government; campus organizations, their program and activities; student aid and placement. The personnel staff recommends that all students become familiar with The Orange N' Black Student Handbook, the guide to campus life, and the College Bulletin which is the student's official source of information about West Virginia Wesleyan College. ORIENTATION An orientation course designed to supplement the Orientation Program in helping freshmen to make successful adjustments to college life is re- quired of all students. Topics considered include the objectives of college, the purpose of a liberal arts education, use of library, healthful living, cam- pus activities, social usage, effective study techniques, and educational and vocational planning. 16 West Virginia Wesleyan College HEALTH SERVICE The College maintains a health ser\'ice for its students, as outlined be- low. ( 1 ) As one of the requirements for admission to the College each ap- plicant must present, prior to registration, a health certificate executed by a practicing physician. Forms provided by the College must be used for this purpose. (2) An annual physical examination, performed by a practicing physician and reported on the official college health form pro\'ided with the regular fall registration materials, must be in the Health Center Office prior to fall registration. A student will not be permitted to complete registration if this requirement is omitted. (3) The College Health Center, located at 68 College Avenue, is staffed 24 hours daily with a Head Nurse on duty 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., a part-time nurse on duty afternoons and early evenings, and a resident night nurse. Two local physicians have daily office hours at the Health Center and are available as needed. The College provides the doctors' services for minor and occasional illnesses and emergencies. The Health Center has limited infirmar)- facilities for students needing isolation but not hospital- ization. Hospitalization is available at the Leonard Memorial and St. Joseph's Hospitals located in Buckhannon, which afford good facilities and services. (4) Chest x-rays are provided annually for all students, all staff mem- bers, and all employees, through the cooperation of the West Virginia De- partment of Health, and are required of all pei-sons listed. (5) All students receiving medical care must assume the responsibility of rrieeting the financial pa\Tnent directly to the physician or hospital from personal funds or through their hospitalization program. The College does not assume responsibility for prolonged or specialized medical care or for hospitalization. (See Medical Reimbursement Insurance.) MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT INSURANCE SERVICE Medical Reimbursement Insurance, covering accidents and illness, is available as provided by Continental Casuality. The insurance covers medi- cal expenses to $1,000.00 for each accident or $1,000.00 for each illness, plus a death benefit of $1,000.00. Insurance is available for either nine months or twelve months. The cost of the insurance is appro.ximately $16.00 for nine months and $25.00 for twelve months. Participation in the insur- ance program is optional. Campus Life and Activity 17 HOUSING AND FOOD SERVICE All college men and women not living at home are required to live in college operated residence halls. All housing accommodations must be cleared through the Student Personnel Center. In order to obtain a room reservation it is necessary for a student in residence, a former student approved for readmission, and all new students admitted to Wesleyan to file an application for housing and pay the required deposit. Applications are available by writing to the Student Personnel Center. All students living in College residence halls are required to make a security deposit of $50.00 for a semester or $25.00 for a summer term. This deposit will be held as a security deposit until the temiination of residence, when it \vill be refunded upon request before June 1 of each year, less deductions for any damages, beyond normal wear, incurred against College property. This deposit may serve as the required deposit for renewal of room reservations from year to year, but cannot be credited toward room or board charges. A charge will be made to cover any damage done to College property beyond the wear incident to normal and proper use. Security Deposit Refund — see Expenses. Rooms in residence halls are furnished except for linens, blankets, rugs, curtains, and study lamps. Contracts with room assignments will be mailed to all applicants who pay the security deposit. All housing contracts are binding for the aca- demic year issued. Under very extraordinary circumstances, the Housing Committee may authorize an exception to this rule. All changes in residence must be reported to and approved by the Housing Committee through the Dean of Students Office. Rooms and apartments are available in approved homes off campus for married students. Approved listing of such facilities are available in the Student Personnel Center. Coeducational dining is provided in McCuskey Hall and Jenkins Hall. All students residing in College residence halls must board on campus and will be assigned to an appropriate dining room. Boarding on campus is optional to those few students approved for off-campus housing. Room and Board charges — see Expense. 18 West Virginia Wesleyan College To insure the best welfare and cooperation of all members of the College community, students are requested to know and are responsible for abiding by the general policies and regulations governing residence halls, fraternity and other off-campus houses for students. COUNSELING SERVICE West Virginia Wesleyan College attempts to provide students counsel- ing services commensurate with their needs — whether educational, voca- tional, social, moral or religious. All members of the faculty assist with guidance services, under the leadership and direction of a Counseling Committee, constituted of persons with extensive backgrounds of, preparation for, and experience in, counseling. Faculty advisors and professional counselors seek to understand the individual student — and to help him to understand himself — with respect to academic aptitudes, educational achievement, personal and social adjust- ment, vocational aptitudes and interests, and moral and religious standards and concern. Such information is then utilized by counselors in advising the student, in assisting him with his various problems, and in helping him to grow toward well integrated adulthood — characterized by competent self-direc- tion, constant self-discipline, and complete self-dedication to some worthy enterprise, some noble cause, some high ideal. When specialized professional services — sometimes unobtainable at the college — become necessary for an individual student, the counseling staff will make an appropriate recommendation to the parent or guardian. The student's family must assume complete responsibility for securing the needed professional treatment. Normally, such referrals are conducted through the family physician. TESTING SERVICE The College maintains a well-planned testing program in order to provide counselors, instructors, and the student with reliable information about his individual ability, aptitudes, achievement, progress, vocational interests and significant personality traits. Entering freshmen and transfer students are required to take the American College Test (ACT) and the Opinion, Attitude and Interest Campus Life and Activity 19 SuA-ey (OAIS) . The College expects all new students to submit scores from the ACT and OAIS prior to registration for classes. The College provides to seniors approaching graduation the Graduate Record Examination (ORE), consisting of (a) The Area Tests, designed to assess the broad outcomes of education in the liberal arts, (b) Advanced Tests taken by each student in his major field only. The Aptitude Test, which measures verbal and quantitative abilities may also be taken if the student desires. The Graduate Record Examination is required of appli- cants for admission to a large number of graduate schools and is used to evaluate both the student and the college. Near the end of the senior year each student must, as a requirement for graduation, pass a comprehensive examination and submit GRE Area and Advanced Test scores to the College. National Teacher Examination (NTE) scores must be submitted by senior students in the teacher educa- tion program. This testing program supplements the tests given by instructors in specific courses. It also provides factual data which the College uses for continuous evaluation and improvement of its curriculum. West Virginia Wesleyan College is an approved testing center for the administration of the Amtrican College Test (ACT) , Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), National Teacher Examinations (NTE), Miller Analogies Test, Law School Admission Test, Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business, General Education Development (GED) Test. The Director of Evaluation Services should be contacted for information about these tests. PL. \ CEMENT SERVICE The College Placement Service is maintained to provide seniors and graduates with vocational information and emplo)Tnent opportunities. Dur- ing the year conferences with representatives from business, industry, and education are arranged for seniors who are registered with the Placement Service.

A charge of $5.00 is made for late reg- istration. CHANGES IN REGISTRATION Changes in registration can be made only with the approval of the Dean of the College, who in problematical cases will require the written consent of the student's advisor, and favorable action by the Committee on Academic Standing. In order to minimize charges, the student should consult his advisor, and, if necessary, the Dean of the College, before reg- istering. No changes in registration, involving addition of new courses, may be made after the fifth day of classes in any semester, or after the first 54 West Virginia Wesleyan College two days of classes in any summer term (of five weeks).

A charge of $5.00 is made for failure to preregister on dates designated. STUDENT LOAD The normal student load is sixteen credit hours per semester, or six hours per summer term (of five weeks). Students who are working part time, or who are failing to maintain a satisfactory scholastic record, are advised to carry loads lighter than the average. The Committee on Aca- demic Standing may require the poor student to lighten his load. No stu- dent may register for more than sixteen credit hours in any one semester, or more than six in any one summer term (of five weeks), without the con- sent of this Committee. WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES A student will be pemiitted to withdraw from a course only during the period specified in the College calendar, and only when the circum- stances fully justify this procedure. In order to withdraw from a course, a student must obtain the written permission of the Instructor involved, the Chairman of the Department, the student's faculty advisor, and the Dean of the College. If the student is doing passing work when he is granted permission to withdraw, WP (withdrew passing) is entered on his record. Otherwise, WF (withdrew failing) is entered. If a student discontinues a course without permission of the Dean of the College, F (failure) is entered on his record. COURSES REPEATED A course in which the final grade is either a D or an F may be re- peated with the permission of the Committee on Academic Standing. When- Rules and Regulations 55 ever a course is repeated, both the first grade received and the grade in the repeated course, with their related hours and quality points, shall remain a part of the permanent record. The total number of hours and points required for graduation will be increased accordingly. CL.\SSIFICATION \Vhen a student has met all entrance requirements, and has completed his registration, he becomes a freshman; when he has earned 32 semester hours of credit and 64 quality points, he becomes a sophomore; when he has earned 64 semester hours of credit and 128 quality points, he becomes a junior; and when he has earned 96 semester hours of credit and 192 quality points, he becomes a senior.

RILEY, Judge.
The City of Charleston, a municipal corporation, brought this suit in equity in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, against Southeastern Construction Company, a corporation; The State Office Building Commission of West Virginia (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the 'building commission'; Honorable Okey L. Patteson, Governor; Honorable William C. Marland, Attorney General; Honorable D. L. Gainer, Director of the Budget; individually and as members of The State Office Building Commission of West Virginia; and Honorable Okey L. Patteson and Honorable D. L. Gainer, Secretary of The State Office Building Commission of West Virginia, for an injunction restraining the defendants from constructing a state office building upon premises purchased by the State of West Virginia from revenues appropriated by the Legislature for The State Office Building Commission, which premises are situate at the southeast corner of California Avenue and Washington Street in the City of Charleston. The basis of the injunctive relief is that the contemplated construction is in violation of the provisions of the Official Building Code of The City of Charleston of 1945, and the Building Zone Ordinance of the City, adopted on May 2, 1939, by the Municipal Planning Commission, and approved by ordinance of July 10, 1939. The circuit court upon joint motion of the parties, certified to this Court its rulings in overruling the demurrer to plaintiff's bill of complaint.
An order having been heretofore entered in this case, this opinion is written for the purpose of stating the conclusions which prompted the Court to enter the order.
The bill of complaint alleges that powers and duties of the plaintiff, The City of Charleston, were conferred and imposed by special charter, Acts of the Legislature of West Virginia, 1915, Municipal Charters, Chapter 1; Acts of the Legislature, 1919, Municipal Charters, Chapter 9; Acts of the Legislature, 1921, Municipal Charters, Chapter 4; Acts of the Legislature, 1923, Chapter 82; Acts of the Legislature, 1925, Municipal Charters, Chapter 12; Acts of the Legislature, 1927, Municipal Charters, Chapter 8; Acts of the Legislature, 1929, Municipal Charters, Chapter 4; Acts of the Legislature, 1933, Regular Session, Chapter 117; and by general municipal law of the State, Code, West Virginia, 8-5 and 8A-4-19 and 24; and then proceeds to set out verbatim the following excerpts from the foregoing statutory enactments, dealing with powers and duties:
'* * * to provide for and regulate the safe construction, inspection and repairs of all public and private buildings, * * * to regulate the height, construction and inspection of all new buildings hereafter erected, and the alteration and repair of any buildings already erected or hereafter erected in said city, and to require permits to be obtained for such buildings and structures, and plans and specifications thereof to be first submitted to the building inspector;' (Acts of the Legislature, 1929, Municipal Charters, Chapter 4, Section 7).
'For the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the city and community, * * * to regulate and restrict the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot that may be occupied, the size of yards, courts and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, industry, residents or other purposes. * * * [With a specific exemption as to buildings or structures used by a public service corporation].' (Section 102, Acts of the Legislature, 1929, Municipal Charters, Chapter 4).
'* * * the council may divide the city into districts of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purpose of this and the four succeeding sections, and within such districts it [council] may regulate and restrict the erection, construction, alteration, repair or use of buildings, structures, or land. All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other districts.' (Section 102-a, Acts of the Legislature, 1927, Municipal Charters, Chapter 8.)
'Such regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan, and designed to lesson congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to promote health and the general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; or to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements. Such regulations shall be made with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the city.' (Section 102-b, Acts of the Legislature, 1927, Municipal Charters, Chapter 8).
The bill of complaint alleges that Code, 8-5, and specifically Sections 1, 2, and 3 thereof, grants to municipalities the power to zone for the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the respective communities; and that Acts of the Legislature, 1937, by Chapter 56, 8A-4-19, 24, empowers cities to 'Regulate the erection, construction, repair and alteration of structures of every kind within the city'; and further provides that 'A city may provide for city planning and zoning in accordance with * * * [Code, 8-5]'.
It is further alleged in the bill of complaint that, pursuant to the foregoing statutory authority, The City of Charleston adopted the building zone ordinance of July 10, 1939, and by ordinance passed on March 9, 1936, filed as Exhibits Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. From Exhibit No. 1, it appears that the parcel of land in question lies in a zoned district, designated as 'Residence 'C' District', the maximum height of buildings within which district is not to exceed four stories or fifty feet, except in case of public or semi-public buildings the maximum height shall not exceed seventy-five feet or more than six stories. Sections 36, 37 and 38 provide the maximum width for front, side and rear yards. The building code (Exhibit No. 2) provides that 'no person shall erect or construct any building or structure whatever, * * * without first obtaining a building permit from the [City] Building Inspector', after filing written application therefor.
The building commission by its secretary submitted the plans and specifications for the proposed building to the building inspector of the city of Charleston, and made application for a building permit, pursuant to the building code, which application was refused. Nevertheless, the State Office Building Commission, by letter dated May 3, 1950, notified the city of its intention to award the contract to the successful bidder, Southeastern Construction Company; and on May 19, 1950, the building inspector served a 'Stop Order' in respect to the work preparatory to the construction of the building. This suit then followed.
From the bill of complaint it appears that the lot in question fronts one hundred twenty feet on California Avenue, with a depth of one hundred forty-four feet on Washington Street and is bounded on the east by a fourteen-foot alley. The proposed building will be set back twenty feet from the property line of California Avenue, a one-foot setback on the alley, and no setback from the property line of Washington Street.
So if a building permit is required of the building commission and the zoning ordinance applies, the proposed building would be in violation of both the building code and the zoning ordinance.

The Orphans’ Court is Maryland’s probate court and presides over the administration of estates. In simpler terms, the main job of the Orphans’ Court is to supervise the management of estates of people who have died – with or without a Will – while owning property in their sole name. It has authority to direct the conduct of personal representatives, has jurisdiction over the guardianship of the property of minors and in some counties, appoints guardians of minors.
A person who dies is known legally as a “decedent.” When a decedent owned property that does not otherwise pass to a beneficiary as a result of operation of law such as jointly owned property or property held in trust (such assets are sometimes referred to as “probate” assets), an estate must be opened. The estate might consist for example of a car, boat, jewelry/heirlooms, cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, real estate or various types of business interests. The value of the estate may be just a few hundred dollars or it may be several million. The point is that when a decedent dies owning assets that do not otherwise automatically pass to the decedent’s beneficiaries or heirs, Maryland laws provide for an orderly process to transfer those assets. This process is sometimes referred to as “the probate proceedings”.
When a person dies with a Last Will and Testament, that Will must be filed with the Register of Wills’ office in the jurisdiction where the decedent lived. The Will generally names the person who will handle the decedent’s final affairs and lists how beneficiaries are to receive distributions from the estate.
If the decedent dies without a Will, that is, “intestate,” Maryland laws provide who has the highest priority to be appointed to administer the estate and who is entitled to inherit in what amounts.
Whether or not there is a Will, when there are probate assets (assets in the decedent’s sole name), a person – referred to as a personal representative – must be appointed to administer the estate. The personal representative is responsible for identifying the decedent’s assets, ensuring that any final debts are valid, paying administration expenses and taxes from the estate, and distributing remaining assets to the proper beneficiaries if there is a Will, or to legal heirs if there is no Will.
Some estates may qualify for a streamlined procedure called “modified estate administration,” in which the personal representative may make final distribution to the heirs and legatees within twelve months from the time he was appointed.
In all other estate proceedings (“regular estates”), a personal representative must file an inventory with the Register of Wills. This inventory is a list that includes the nature and value of the probate assets. Within nine months of his or her appointment, the personal representative must file an administration account to show what the decedent owned at death, what was received since death, what payments were made from the estate, and what distributions are expected to be made to the beneficiaries or legal heirs. After that, an administration account must be filed every six months until the estate is closed. Generally, unless there is litigation involved or real estate needs to be sold, most estates are able to be wrapped up within nine to eighteen months of the decedent’s death.
Orphans’ Court Judges
Orphans’ Court judges are responsible for approving administration accounts, making sure that only appropriate payments are made from estate assets and that distributions are made to the proper beneficiaries or heirs. Generally, payment of attorney’s fees or personal representative’s commissions made from estate assets must be approved by the Orphans’ Court.
Three Orphans’ Court judges sit in the City of Baltimore and each of Maryland’s counties, except Harford, Howard, and Montgomery counties. (In those three counties, Circuit Court judges sit as Orphans’ Court judges.) Orphans’ Court judges run for general election every four years. Maryland’s Constitution requires Orphans’ Court judges to be Maryland citizens and residents of their jurisdiction for at least 12 months before their election. The Constitution was amended to require the judges in Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Prince George’s County to be attorneys and barred in the State of Maryland. Those judges may preside over cases alone, whereas in the other jurisdictions, the three judges sit together in a panel to hear matters.
Some estates proceed smoothly, and, other than seeing the Orphans’ Court judge’s signature on various estate documents, a personal representative and/or beneficiaries or heirs may have no direct contact with the Orphans’ Court judges.
In other estates, however, disputes arise, and then Orphans’ Court judges hold formal hearings. Examples of reasons for formal hearings include when the Orphans’ Court has to determine: the validity of a particular Will or Codicil (which is an amendment to the original Will); proper beneficiaries or heirs and/or amounts to be distributed to them; who should be appointed personal representative; whether to remove a personal representative who has not properly carried out his or her duties; or what claims (and amounts) may be paid from the estate. Sometimes there are disputes concerning payments to be made to the personal representative or estate attorney.
In formal hearings, the Orphans’ Court judges – like any other trial court judges – must consider the evidence submitted (including testimony) and apply the appropriate Maryland laws in order to resolve the dispute.
If a distribution from an estate is due to be made to a minor and there is no other procedure in place to protect the assets until the minor reaches the age of 18 (such as a trust), the Orphans’ Court has jurisdiction to appoint someone as guardian of the person and/or property of the minor. In such cases the guardian is under the supervision of the Orphans’ Court and where the assets due to the minor are $10,000 or more, the guardian must file annual reports with the Orphans’ Court.
*If the value of the estate assets is $100,000 or less if passing to a surviving spouse or $50,000 or less if passing to someone other than a surviving spouse.

American politician
For the soldier, see William Marland (Medal of Honor).
William Casey Marland (March 26, 1918 – November 26, 1965), a Democrat, was the 24th Governor of West Virginia from 1953 to 1957. He is best known for his early attempts to tax companies that depleted the state's natural resources, especially coal, as well as overseeing implementation of school desegregation during the Civil Rights Movement when other Southern governors opposed it. Near the end of his life, he re-entered the public stage when a reporter found him driving a cab in Chicago. He responded to the negative publicity by making a public statement to the media about his recovery from alcoholism and indicated that his new, relatively humble job helped in that recovery.
Biography
[edit]
Son of a mining boss, Joseph Wesley and Maude Casey Marland, he was born in Johnston City, Illinois on March 26, 1918. His family moved to the coal town of Glen Rogers in Wyoming County, West Virginia when he was seven. During World War II, he served as a Navy lieutenant in the Pacific theater, completing four tours. He attended the University of Alabama, where he was a star football player, and received a law degree from West Virginia University in 1947. He married Valerie Allen Marland in 1942, and they had four children: William Allen, Susan Lynn, John Wesley, and Casey Dixon.
In West Virginia, Marland was appointed law clerk to Federal Judge Ben Moore, and in August 1948, he was appointed the state's Assistant Attorney General. Upon resignation of former Attorney General Ira J. Partlow December 1, 1949, he was appointed Attorney General. In November 1950, he was elected to the office.[1] He announced his resignation on January 30, 1952 to run for election as governor later that year, his resignation taking effect the next day.
He beat former Senator Rush Holt by slightly more than 3% in the 1952 gubernatorial race. As Governor, Marland advocated the desegregation of schools, expansion of the state parks and other recreational facilities, improved unemployment and workers' compensation laws, and an industrial development program.[2]
He ran for the 1956 special election for Senator. He lost the election to former Senator William Chapman Revercomb. In 1958 he ran for the Democratic primary to another special Senate election, losing to Representative Jennings Randolph.[3] After his second Senate loss, Marland worked as an attorney, eventually relocating to the Chicago area.
Later years
[edit]
The pressures on Marland may have contributed to the development of alcoholism. Accusations that he drank heavily in office or at inappropriate times during the day have been made by Underwood.[4]
In the early 1960s, the ex-governor gave up drinking. But it was not his fate to live out his life as a private individual. A few years after his recovery, he was recognized by a Chicago Daily News reporter, Margery McElheny. Marland confirmed that he had been working as a taxicab driver since August 1962, and the Daily News published the exclusive story on March 12, 1965,[5] with the wire services following up on March 13, 1965. The story received great attention nationally.[6]
Knowing that the story was about to break and concerned about damage to his family, he called a press conference and spoke candidly about his alcoholism, how he overcame it, and his reasons for driving a taxi: to hold in check a level of ambition that may have contributed to his drinking.
His fortunes dramatically changed for the better. He was soon invited to appear on Jack Paar's television talk show, and was hired to run a West Virginia horse racing concern.
But shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died of the disease in his Barrington, Illinois home, attended by his wife, children, other relatives, and family friends, on November 26, 1965. His widow followed him in death in 1977. William Marland is buried at Lacon Cemetery, Lacon, Illinois.

Narrative Information
Casto: “Huntington — It was Thanksgiving Eve, 1952. Most of the community was in a festive mood, already relaxing and looking forward to the next day’s holiday. Then, shortly after 7 p.m., the bells started ringing at the Huntington Fire Department’s old Alarm Headquarters on 9th Street. The automated alarm system indicated a fire at the Huntington State Hospital on Norway Avenue. No one knew it in those first hectic minutes, but the alarm triggered what would be one of the most horrific chapters in Huntington’s history.
“After 60 years, the death toll in the 1952 fire at the State Hospital remains Huntington’s worst in any fire ever….
“Sirens sounding, firefighters raced to the scene. There they found an old brick ward building in flames. A fire had erupted in the basement boiler room and quickly spread to the first floor….
“Fire Captain Harry Damron supervised the evacuation of 35 to 40 children from the third floor of the burning structure.
“Gene Wheeler, a 28-year-old firefighter at the time, later recalled making his way into the burning building and finding a young girl, maybe 7 years old, tied to her bed, unable to move. Wheeler managed to untie and rescue her. Wheeler also remembered seeing fellow firefighter John Cannon carry a teenage girl to safety. (Twenty years later, in 1972, Cannon suffered a fatal heart attack while fighting a spectacular fire at the former Standard Ultramarine & Color Co. plant.)….
“The ward building had been designed to lock patients in, with little thought given as to how they might get out in case of a fire or other emergency….
“Fire Chief Floyd E. Crouse said all Huntington firefighters who were on duty were deployed at the hospital, along with 15 others who were off duty but were called in to help fight the fire and evacuate patients.
“A number of volunteers aided the firefighters in the evacuation. Dr. Hiram Davis, the hospital’s superintendent, praised their efforts. “I cannot be too generous in my praise of the work of the firemen and volunteers,” Davis said. “I saw boys of high school age helping carry litters. No one had asked them. They just volunteered. The firemen were very efficient. We owe much to them.”
“No official ruling was made as to the fire’s cause, although widespread speculation suggested a carelessly discarded cigarette….
“…the institution’s operating philosophy remained much the same as when it first opened — to protect society from the mentally ill by locking them away in a place where they received little if any treatment.
“By the time of the fire, a hospital designed to accommodate 500 patients was home to nearly 1,800. Medical staffing was grossly inadequate, with only a handful of trained doctors and nurses and attendants who were few in number, virtually untrained and poorly paid. The hospital’s buildings were antiquated and poorly maintained….
“But despite new construction and other sporadic improvements, conditions at the hospital remained a subject of concern until the 1970s when the patient population began to decline as a result of deinstitutionalization. In 1988, Huntington State became the first state-operated psychiatric hospital in West Virginia to be accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
“….Today, the hospital is a 110-bed acute care mental health facility.”
(Casto, James E. “1952 fire at State Hospital claimed 17 helpless victims.” Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, WV, 11-25-2012.)[1]
Nov 27, 2013, Herald-Dispatch: “On Nov. 26, 1952, a ward building at Huntington State Hospital, now Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital, caught fire, killing 17 people….
“Established on a 33-acre tract in 1899 as the West Virginia Asylum, the state-supported hospital has evolved from the dark ages when as many as 1,800 patients were crammed into open wards and the staff included a superintendent and seven or eight physicians. Today, it is a 90-bed facility.
“In 1958, West Virginia had 5,500 patients placed in a half-dozen mental health facilities scattered over the state. Because of improved treatment and drugs, that number had decreased to 2,400 in 1976.
“The Hartley Act, which was brought on by a class action suit, caused more dramatic changes in the 1980s. The act mandated that all state hospitals eliminate open wards and provide only two-bed, semi-private rooms for mentally ill patients.
“West Virginia now operates just two psychiatric care hospitals, Huntington and Weston, W.Va.
“In 1999, Gov. Cecil Underwood announced that Huntington State Hospital would be renamed the Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital in honor of the retiring doctor and her dedication to bringing mental health issues to the state’s attention.” (Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, WV. “Gallery: Huntington State Hospital fire, Nov. 26, 1952.” 11-27-2013.)
Newspapers at the time
Nov 26: “Huntington, Nov. 26 (AP) — Fifteen women and children perished tonight in a fierce blaze that swept a three-story building at the Huntington State Hospital, a mental institution. President Joe F. Burdett of the State Board of Control, which supervises the state’s institutions, grimly told a reporter: ‘Frankly, we feel it will run to 20.’ Eleven of the victims were young girls, none believed over 16, who suffocated from the smoke that filled their third floor dormitory. Four were elderly women, occupying the first floor.
“An attendant said from 60 to 70 patients had been housed on each of the three floors of the gutted building. Older women were housed on the first floor, psychotic women on the second and the children, all apparently under 16, on the third….
“The first alarm was sounded about 7:10 p.m….
“An hour and 35 minutes after the fire started, an orderly told a reporter: ‘They’re still bringing them off the third floor. How they stood it, I don’t know.’
“Another doctor on the hospital staff said the building which burned had recently been criticized
by a newspaper as being a fire-trap….
“The patients brought out were described by newsmen as ‘extremely calm.’
“Correspondent Dick Boyd of The Associated Press reported from the scene that the interior of the structure, a T-shaped building with Norman towers, was completely gutted….
“The building that went up in flames is understood to have had windows covered with wire mesh. It was situated about 150 yards from the one to which rescued patients were evacuated.
“Boyd said the women and children were a pitiful sight. He said nurses and attendants did everything possible to make them comfortable, but that many were obviously cold and shaken as they were crowded into emergency quarters.” (Beckley Post-Herald, WV. “State Hospital Blaze Kills At Least 15.” 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 26: “Huntington, Nov. 26 – (AP) – Here is the list of dead [14 names] in tonight’s fire at Huntington State Hospital as released by Chief of Detectives Herman A. Frazier of the city police. [Rearranged in alphabetical order and with the addition of three later deaths on Nov 29.]

(Charleston Gazette, WV. “Here’s List of Dead in Huntington Fire.” 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “Huntington, Nov. 26 — (AP) — Fourteen women and children perished tonight in a fierce blaze that swept a three-story building at the Huntington State Hospital, a mental institution. President Joe F. Burdett of the State Board of Control, which supervises the state’s institutions, announced the death toll as complete and official. Two hours after the fire roared through the 56-year-old building, Burdett said the blaze took 15 lives. After a thorough recheck, he brought the figure down one. Five of the victims were young girls, 15 or younger. The others were women, the oldest 89. There were about 275 patients in the three-story brick structure.
“The fire broke out in the basement shortly after 7 p.m. and burned for about two hours. The flames were confined to the first two floors but the thick acrid smoke played havoc with the youngsters trapped on the top level. Firemen had to cut through heavy wire mesh with acetylene torches to get inside the building when the front entrance became an inferno. The screaming patients had to be removed by means of an old wrought-iron circular stairway at the rear of the building. The rescuers couldn’t use stretchers on the narrow escape-way, so they bundled the patients — some alive, some dead — in blankets and carried them down on their shoulders. Fire Capt. C. C. Martin credited attendants on duty with a “heroic job” in getting the most of the patients out of the building. He said they tripped the latches on the ward doors so the patients could flee by themselves.
“The kitchen, one of the several buildings nearby, was turned into a hasty receiving station for the screaming, weeping, vomiting victims. One reporter called it a ‘sorry sight.’ The patients were sprawled on the kitchen floor, some of them dead, most with only a blanket covering them, reeking with the strong smell of smoke.
“One fireman said the blaze started in the basement. A staff physician who refused to be quoted said some of the patients sometimes went to the basement to smoke during off hours, which was against the rules.
“The hospital built in 1896, has been under recent scrutiny both through the press and the state legislature for its condition. ‘I know it’s too late to say this,’ Burdett said, ‘but we submitted to the budget director a recommendation for one million dollars for fireproofing all this — ward buildings one, two, three and four.’ It was ward building four which burned. Burdett said the requested appropriation was cut out somewhere along the line in the last legislative session.
“A new building was being constructed on the grounds nearby which was to house the patients in the structure which burned. They would have been transferred into the quarters within a few weeks.
“Two other fires have occurred at the state hospital within the last two years — one in a third floor sewing room and the other in a basement storage bin. Both were extinguished quickly.
“Burdett said: ‘The same situation exists at Spencer and Weston State (two other state mental institutions). Recommendations for fireproofing those two hospitals and Huntington have been approved by the budget director for submission to the 1953 legislature.’ He added that part of Spencer and Weston State Hospitals already have been fireproofed.
“Two elderly women were listed as in serious condition from burns. The only other person listed as injured was a Huntington fireman who suffered a broken foot when a battering ram fell on him.
“All three members of the State Board of Control were at the hospital during cleaning-up operations. They are, besides Burdett, L. Steele Trotter, treasurer, and Dell White, Secretary. State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper, also at the scene, said he had not had a chance to make an inspection or estimate of the damage.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Huntington Hospital Fire Kills 14 Patients.” 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “The protecting law of averages finally ran out last night for the unfortunates who lost their lives in the fire of the female ward building at Huntington State Mental Hospital. In January of 1949, this reporter, in one of a series of articles which appeared in The Gazette under the title of ‘Forsaken and Forgotten,’ described the now-destroyed building as one of ‘five three-story brick, fire-trap structures.’ And everyone of the buildings was overcrowded with patients behind locked door and steel-screened windows.
“That was almost four years ago. At that time 67 mentally deficient and mentally disturbed girls were kept on the third floor of the females building. The only access then to the third floor quarters was described in this paragraph: ‘Turn and twist, turn and twist up three tortuous flights of narrow, steel stairs to a locked door at the top.’ This access, and exit, had not changed in the past four years. This reporter can visualize the horror, and disaster, plus the terror striking me men and women who attempted passage through the narrow inferno last night.
“Another paragraph of the 1949 article read: ‘Locked up like common criminals, the girl mentally deficients must find their play on the wooden, fire-hazardous corridor floor.’ The awful possibilities of life-taking fire were uppermost in my mind then, and reminders of the hazards have lurked in my thoughts ever since.
“In 1949, “Forsaken and Forgotten” had this to say about the third floor wards in separate buildings housing boys in one and girls in the other: ‘Two gloomy halls of horror in Huntington State Mental Hospital hold 153 of nature’s unfortunates — West Virginia’s completely neglected, mentally lost children.’ The gloom was erased from the girls’ corridor last night, and replaced by the terrible light of macabre flames.” (Armentrout, Charles R. “Reporter Forecast Disaster in 1949.” Charleston Gazette, WV, 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “Huntington (AP) — The. blackened shell of a building officials knew was unsafe was all that remained today after fire swept a Huntington State Hospital building, killing 14 women and children inmates of the old mental institution. State officials began probing around in the ruins and questioned the more rational patients in the effort to learn just what started the disastrous blaze. Ten other persons — seven patients and three firemen – were hospitalized.
“Flames sprang from the basement of the 58-year-old building shortly after 7 p.m. and spread rapidly through the first and second floors. Firemen had to burn through thick wire mesh over the windows with acetylene torches to fight the blaze and rescue the near-helpless victims….All those who died were from West Virginia….
“The only hint to a cause for the blaze came from a staff doctor who refused to be identified. He said some patients, against strict orders, sometimes slipped down to the basement and smoked.
“State officials indicated they blamed the state itself for the conditions that prevailed at the obviously antiquated structure – and the 13 others that nestled around it on the 35-acre tract atop a hill overlooking Huntington from the southeast. President Joe E. Burdett of the State Board of Control, which supervises the state’s institutions, was brutally frank. ‘I can’t say I was surprised,’ he said. ‘If something isn’t done it won’t be the last.’
“And State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper said the burned building was found to be ‘inadequate’ as to fireproofing when inspected a year ago. He said another inspection was due next Monday.
“Burdett said a request for one million dollars to fireproof the hospital was shelved during the last legislative session. He said a request for funds to fireproof Huntington and two other state hospitals had been approved by the budget director for the Legislature meeting next January. Burdette said that ‘to my knowledge, there has never been a catastrophe as bad as this one in the history of the state….in all types of institutions – schools, mental hospitals – any kind of building the state owns or operates.’ He paused a minute, then added: ‘I know it’s too late to say this, but we submitted to the budget director a recommendation for one million dollars for fire-proofing all this….’
“A new building was just being completed on the hospital grounds that within a few weeks would have housed those who were in the old building when it burned, Burdett said.
“Associated Press reporters on the scene said the nearly 300 patients in the three-story building didn’t seem to know what was happening. Elderly women were on the ground floor, many unable to get around. Psychotic women were on the second floor. The young ones were on the top floor.
“There were three exits, but the regular front entrance became a raging inferno that defied approach. A back exit was a wrought-iron circular stairway that was so tight stretchers couldn’t be used. The third was the fire escape – a sliding pole similar to those in fire stations. But apparently few of the inmates knew how to use it.
“After firemen managed to get to the third floor where the children were trapped, they wrapped them in blankets and packed them down the circular stairway on their backs.
“All the patients were taken to a hastily devised receiving station in the kitchen, located in a separate building nearby. Some were weeping and wailing. Others were sick from the thick smoke that choked throats everywhere. The rest just sat, staring. Many had little on, except blankets thrown around them. Here and there among them were those covered with blankets all the way.
“The hospital has had two other fires within the past 18 months.
“The flames in last night’s fire did not reach the top floor where the children’s ward was. But the thick, choking smoke did. That was what killed the five up there.
“After it was believed all the patients had been removed, Fire Capt. Harry Damron said a women in her 20s was found wrapped in a blanket beneath bed on the third floor. She was hospitalized for shock….
“Newsmen at the scene said a ‘river of water’ ran down Norway Avenue, on which the hilltop hospital is located in southeast Huntington. Traffic became so congested near the scene that the police department broadcast an appeal by radio for motorists to stay away. Police headquarters said at one time it was almost impossible for fire fighting equipment to get through the jam. A score of doctors and as many nurses responded to a police call for help.
“The three-story building destroyed — Ward Building No. 4 – is in a group of four structures, all built near the turn of the century. It is T-shaped, with the cross of the ‘T’ paralleling Norway Avenue. On either side, only about five feet away, are two other ward buildings. To the rear, some 50 feet away, is the kitchen.
“It was in the kitchen that the dead and dying were separated from the living. Most of the patients were naked – its hard to keep clothes on some types of the mentally ill – but they were wrapped in blankets as firemen and other rescuers – there were many volunteers and scores of male patients on the job – brought them down.
“A physician met each stretcher and cit as it appeared. The doctors went from one bundled heap to another – listening, hoping for the faintest heartbeat. To the ones who showed a breath of life firemen gave artificial respiration and oxygen. When there was no hope, the head of the victim was covered and the body taken to a nearby makeshift morgue.
“There was hardly a free foot of space in the brick-floored kitchen. Delirious inmates lay sobbing and quivering near the bodies of their fellow patients. Many of the women patients, nearly all naked, were violently ill.
“Patients in one of the adjacent ward buildings were evacuated; those in the other ward remained. Newsmen could hear cries from the latter as the fire raged nearby but said the commotion probably was normal.
“….There was some confusion as a result of a report that the third floor, on which 13 of the victims suffocated, housed “children.” The list of dead showed only five of these were age 15 or under and none was under 11. The confusion apparently stemmed from the technical use of “child.” which to experts on mental health includes any feeble-minded person, regardless of age.
61 Operations
“Huntington State Hospital was the scene of 61 ‘ice pick’ type brain operations last July. Doctors
call that type of surgery a trans-orbital lobotomy. A relatively simple operation, and to some decree a controversial one in the medical profession, the operation requires the use of an ice pick-type instrument to cut nerve fibers in the front lobe of the brain. Its purpose is to relieve tension and worry. Of the 61 who underwent the operations here — there were others elsewhere in the state – 10 were returned to their homes within one month and 26 more were in the process of being discharged.
“The hospital had recently received criticism for the scalding death of one child and the alleged starving of another. Dina Lee Jerome, 15, of Dillonvale, O., was fatally scalded last Sept. 7 when another patient forced her into a tub of hot water. The girl’s patients were residents of West Virginia when she was admitted to the hospital.
“Prosecutor Edward H. Greene of Cabell County, after an investigation of his own, asked Gov. Patterson to call a special session of the Legislature to ‘remedy these disgraceful conditions before more children are killed and starved.’
“Later, the Board of Control exonerated Dr. Hiram W. Davis, hospital superintendent, of any fault in either case.” (Charleston Daily Mail, WV. “Huntington Hospital Fire Kills 14.” 11-27-1952, pp. 1 and 8.)
Aug 27: “Tragedy that struck the Huntington State Hospital last night and claimed the lives of 14 persons may have been averted had the 1951 state legislature been more sympathetic to a board of control request. Dell White, secretary of the three-man agency that manages all state hospitals, told the Daily Mail today front his Madison home that the board last year had sought a million-dollar appropriation for fireproofing buildings at Huntington. The legislature lopped the appropriation from the board’s budget – as it did for other institutions. ‘We hope the legislature next year will be more sympathetic to our appeal,’ White said. The million dollars has been included in the next biennium budget, effective July 1, 1953.
“Funds also will be asked to do fireproofing work at both Spencer and Weston State Hospitals, whose rolls include more than 3,000 persons.
“White, who returned early this morning to his home after watching the disastrous Huntington fire, said work of staff members in evacuating patients from the burning building was heroic.
“All patients removed from the burned unit are now being housed in a new building nearby which has not been completely finished.
“White was first named in 1944 to fill an unexpired term and was chosen by former Gov. Meadows, to a full six-year term in 1947.” (Charleston Daily Mail. “Legislature’s Fund-Lopping in 1951 Cited. Fireproofing Denied Board of Control; New Plea Planned.” 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “Weston (AP) — Rush D. Holt[12] said today the 1951 legislature provided all funds asked for the Huntington State Hospital and blamed a fire which took 14 lives there last night on the state administration. President Joe Burdett had said a request for one million dollars to fireproof the mental hospital was shelved during the last legislative session. Said Holt, unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor in the Nov. 4 election: ‘The legislature provided every cent the state Board of Public Works asked for the hospital. Therefore, its passing the buck to the failure to appropriate money is not upheld by fact. The responsibility for this tragedy is at the top. The Board of Public Works and the state administration cannot escape the finger of guilt.’” (Charleston Daily Mail, WV. “Not Shelved, Says Holt.” 11-27-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “Huntington (AP) — The fire which claimed 14 lives at Huntington State Hospital last night broke out as the Huntington Mental Hygiene Assn., was marshalling support for an appeal to the 1953 legislature to improve conditions at the hospital.
Fireproofing of the old buildings, here and at other state mental institutions, has been much discussed, both in and out of the legislature. President Joe F. Burdett of the State Board of Control said the budget director has approved an item to cover a project for submission to the lawmakers next January.
“The Huntington association presented, only last Friday, a radio play to point up the need for such improvements. The play depicted conditions in a mythical fire which the narrator said might happen in a West Virginia state hospital in the future. At the end of the radio drama administrators of the hospital at which the fire occurs are absolved of negligence, by a trial jury which concludes the taxpayers, who did not insist on fire-retardant buildings for the institution, were responsible.” (Charleston Daily Mail, WV. “Blaze Predicted in Radio Drama.” 11-27-1952, pp. 1 and 8.)
Nov 27: “Huntington, Nov. 27. – (AP)…. ‘A recommendation was made to spend one million dollars to fireproof’ the building at the state legislature nearly two years ago, Joe F. Burdett, president of the Board of Control said. ‘I don’t want to blame anyone, but in the process from the budget director to the legislature it was dropped.’….
“Gov. Okey L. Patteson, Democrat who couldn’t seek reelection under the law, stated: ‘It’s the easiest thing in the world to find out the things that need to be done. But to find the remedy and correct all of them is a different task. I expect to make some statement after a complete report of this disaster is furnished me by the Board of Control – after I get all the facts.’….
“Two of the survivors were in a critical condition.
“There were 607 male and 731 female patients housed in several buildings on a 35-acre tract…” (Charleston Gazette. “Blame Disputed for Deaths of 14 in Blaze at Hospital.” 11-28-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 27: “Huntington, Nov. 27 (AP) – President Joe F. Burdett of the State Board of Control… disclosed that a recommendation of $1 million to fireproof the four main ward buildings at the hospital had been prepared for the 1951 legislature….It had been planned, he said, to spend the money in the present biennium, 1951-1953.
“He said the same inadequate fire-proofing situation exists at the Spencer and Weston State Hospitals, although some work has been done at both of these institutions. A recommendation of $1 million to complete the work, Burdett told the newsman, ‘will be presented to the 1953 legislature.’
“The Board of Control president described the Barboursville and Lakin State Hospitals as ‘fire safe,’ and also said that there is no danger at the Pinecrest and Hopemont tuberculosis sanitariums. He added, however, that the fireproofing at the Old Sweet Springs, Monroe County, home for white aged and infirm, and for colored aged and infirm at McKendree, Fayette County, is ‘not what it should be.’
“Some feeble minded patients from the Huntington hospital were transferred to the Sweet Springs home several months ago.
“Burdett was attending a church service in Charleston when notified of the fire last night, and drove here to supervise the rescue and care of the more than 1,300 patients in the hospital.
“He was joined here soon afterwards by the other board members, L. Steele Trotter and Dell White, and by State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper….
“Burdette notified Governor Patteson by telephone of the fire last night. He quoted the Governor as saying the situation was ‘very unfortunate.’” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Fire Risk Said High at 2 Other State Hospitals.” 11-28-1952, pp. 1 and 3.)
Nov 27: “Huntington, W.Va. (UP) — Gov. Okey L. Patteson of West Virginia said Thursday [Nov 27] it was a “well-known fact” the Huntington State Mental Hospital where 14 inmates died in a 375,000 Thanksgiving Eve blaze was a “fire hazard.” He said, however, steps were being taken to remedy this situation. “We have been making improvements right along,” he said,
“but you can’t correct all of those evils at one time. It takes money.”
“The fire broke out at 7:25 p.m. Wednesday in a basement storeroom of a three-story ward building housing 295 inmates, many of them children. At the time, turkeys were being prepared m an adjoining basement kitchen for Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day dinner.” (Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, IN. “14 Die in ‘Fire Hazard’.” 11-28-1952, p. 3.)
Nov 28: “Huntington, W. Va., (AP) – City and state officials kept probing today among the charred interior of a mental hospital building where 14 women and children lost their lives to a deadly combination of smoke and flames. But so far they haven’t learned how the fire started.
“Deputy State Eire Marshal John Gallagher had a word of caution — and a strong suggestion. ‘It is definite,’ he declared, ‘that the remaining buildings are just as subject to fire as the one which burned.’
“The Huntington State Hospital, with 607 male and 731 female mentally unbalanced patients, has 13 other buildings on its 35-acre tract.
“Gallagher suggested that ‘every citizen of Huntington and the state’ write members of the Legislature, Gov. Okey Patteson and Gov.-Elect William C. Marland, urging that quick affirmative action be taken on a proposed fire-proofing program for all state institutions.
“The fire broke out in a three-story building housing 275 patients Wednesday about 7:10 p.m. Five girls under 16 and nine women were burned to death or suffocated.
“Officials said it had been definitely established that the blaze started in a basement corridor, but as yet the cause has not been determined….
“Gallagher said the fire gained quick headway through the basement shortly after it was discovered. ‘One group of men rushed into the building, took down the fabric hose hanging on the wall and connected it. But the heat was so intense they had to leave. The burned hose is in the basement now.’ The entire first floor burned through and fell into the basement. The second floor was badly damaged, but timbers on the third floor, where 13 of the victims perished from suffocation, remained intact.
“Gallagher said the intense heat which was carried to the upper floors passed through the metal hot air ducts of the heating system. ‘If it had been possible to turn off the ducts,’ he said ‘we could doubtless have saved lives. It just wasn’t possible.’
“Raper said the buildings fire-proofing was declared ‘inadequate’ at last year’s inspection. In another report made last Aug. 13, nine corrective measures regarding fireproofing were recommended. But other buildings had even longer lists of suggested alterations.
“Most of the buildings were constructed in 1890, when the hospital was established.
“Gallagher said it was not believed that inferior electrical wiring caused the blaze, but he would go no further.
“Yesterday the mentally ill patients were reported ‘surprisingly calm’ as they ate their turkey and went through the holiday routine, upset somewhat by the hard-pressed investigation.” (Raleigh Register, Beckley, WV. “14 Patients Killed. New Warning Issued as State Probes Fire at Huntington Hospital.” 11-28-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 28: “Nothing can be done now about the deaths of 14 mental patients by fire at the Huntington State Hospital. Nearly four years ago The Gazette investigated and warned. Others had protested, even pleaded that something be done to make the state mental hospitals safe for the patients. Something was to be done. Something was urged. Something, a comparatively little
something, was being done. Nearly four years had passed since our Mr. Armentrout exposed the neglect of these hospitals over the state.
“The same old excuse was forthcoming – ‘not enough money.’ Fourteen lives were snuffed out. Lives of no value? They were of value to the victims. In the name of humanity they should have been the grave concern of everyone with authority or influence in the State. Those 14 lives and the lives of hundreds of other unfortunates.
“Firetraps. Are there others? Take a look around. In every city and town there are firetraps where the public goes and lives are risked. Why do they exist? Because it takes money to remedy the defects that make them firetraps. Not just in prisons for the insane — in many public buildings.
“Is anything ever done about the firetraps the public frequents? Very little. Perhaps some fire escapes. But no condemnations. Fire inspections? Yes, but no arrests for violations of regulations.
“It couldn’t happen to you or any of your loved ones? But it did happen to 14 victims, at least most of them loved ones of somebody.
“Do you say it is none of your business that fire hazards exist? It is plenty of your business. In the name of all humanity it is. It is up to you, and you, and you to protest and demand, vehemently and constantly until more than ‘something’ is done or promised.
“It is up to the authorities to abate all firetraps. It is up to the taxpayers and the general public to see that it is done.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Horrible Neglect” (Editorial). 11-28-1952, p.12.)
Nov 28: “Huntington, Nov. 28.–(AP)–Police and firemen tonight were questioning a Huntington
State Hospital attendant about the possibility Wednesday night’s tragic fire and the second of two minor blazes which occurred there late today were set, Fire Chief Floyd L. Grouse said. He said the officials were almost certain two of the fires were the result of arson. Police Chief Lon Whitten, Grouse and Hospital Supt. Hiram W. Davis were conducting the investigation….
“Neither of the fires today was of major or tragic consequences. Firemen brought both under control in short order. Some 30 men were evacuated from Building No. 2, near Ward Building No. 4 in which Wednesday night’s tragedy occurred….
“The first blaze was discovered early this evening by Miss Ann White, the night nurse on the second floor of the three-story infirmary. Miss White notified the hospital switchboard and firemen came on the double. Fire Chief Floyd L. Crouse said the blaze – between the first and second floors – was caused by rats which had carried rags to the vicinity of hot steam pipes. The rags ere ignited. Firemen chopped out the second-story flooring and quickly extinguished the smoking rags.
“About 125 patients were in the infirmary – women on the first floor, men on the second and small children on the third. Some of the children are not physically ill but are housed in the infirmary because they are in the crib stage and can be better cared for there than elsewhere. None of the infirmary patients was evacuated.
“The second blaze was discovered a short time later in the hospital’s general assembly building, one-story with basement housing the gymnasium, recreation hall and chapel. The structure is near Building No. 2, which houses Wards 4, 5 and 6 for men patients. Smoke from the general assembly building, flowing through an air vent, filled the men’s wards and the patients had to be evacuated.
“After the second blaze had been put out, around 8 p. m., a fireman reported finding a one-pound tobacco can and an open pint whisky bottle under the stage of the assembly hall, where the fire had started. Crouse placed damage to the assembly building at $10,000….
“…Secretary of State D. Pitt O’Brien explained why the Board of Public Works had not approved fireproofing appropriations two years ago. O’Brien noted that the Board of Control, which governs state institutions, had asked for one million dollars to spend on fireproofing the mental institutions 14 buildings. But, O’Brien said, the money for fireproofing needed to come from a surplus tax revenue of $2,347,000, and, he added, budget requests totaled 165 million dollars.
“Meanwhile, Fire Marshal Raper expressed determination to discover the immediate cause of the disastrous blaze. ‘We’re not giving up,’ he said. He said the old building had been insured some years ago for $89,600, and that the loss to the building probably would run about 50 per cent of that figure.
“He said that when the first floor of the building burned and fell through, it broke the continuity of air ducts, and very hot air and gases went through the ventilators into the upper floor. Raper added that at least 12 of the deaths were caused by suffocation and not by actual burning. Earlier, Deputy State Fire Marshal John Gallagher declared that the remaining buildings on the hospital’s
35-acre tract “are just as subject to fire as the one which burned.’….
“Two of the seven patients injured in the blaze remained in critical condition tonight and are not expected to live, said Dr. Hiram Davis, superintendent of the hospital. They are Mrs. Lettie Farley, 83, of Harts, who suffered multiple burns and Ruth Barnette, 34, of Huntington, a smoke victim….”
“Raper said today there was a possibility that the fire might have started in the gutted ward number four as a result of someone smoking in the basement.
“Secretary of State O’Brien, who acts as secretary of the Board of Public Works, said the demand for appropriations from the state’s tax revenue surplus far exceeded the surplus itself. O’Brien added that it was the custom of the board, however, to cooperate with the legislature by requesting additional appropriation whenever it was assured the legislature could provide the revenue.
“Records in Budget Director D. L. Gainer’s office at Charleston showed that the State Board of Control had requested an appropriation of $1,940,000 from the 1951 Legislature for the hospital. Of this amount, one million dollars had been earmarked for fireproofing as well as for other proposed expenditures at the Huntington institution. In addition to the sum for thee Huntington hospital, the Board of Control also had requested money for fireproofing Weston and Spencer state hospitals.
“The Board of Public Works recommended to the legislature that $1,697,000 of the two million dollar surplus be spent. This figure was trimmed by the legislative session to $1,555,000.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Hospital Attendant Grilled After New Huntington Fires.” 11-29-1952, p. 1.)
Nov 29: “The tragic fire at Huntington State Hospital, where 14 patients died this week, points up the need for a thorough investigation of these state institutions with the view of making them safer. The blame for this tragedy must rest with the state administration. Some effort was made at first to attach the blame to the Legislature, but after the record had been clarified, we now learn on authority of Secretary of State D. Pitt O’Brien that the request for one million dollars to fireproof Huntington State Hospital was not approved by the Board of Public Works when the budget-making body went over the appropriation requests prior to the 1951 session of the Legislature. According to Mr. O’Brien, secretary of the board, the appropriation was requested, but the Board of Public Works turned it down. And, as Rush Holt was quick to point out. ‘The Legislature provided every cent the State Board of Public Works asked for the hospital.’
“Now that the tragedy has happened, however, steps should be taken to prevent the same thing happening again, either at Huntington or at other state hospitals and mental institutions. We understand a similar situation prevails, at least in some degree, at Spencer and Weston. These two institutions are badly overcrowded.
“Obviously, such an investigation should be undertaken by the Administration and sufficient appropriations should be sought from the Legislature, which convenes in January, to make these state institutions safe.
“If the Executive Department fails in this responsibility, then the new Legislature should take the matter in hand and conduct an investigation of its own. The Legislature is privileged to request the Board of Public Works to submit supplemental appropriations if the law-making body determines that such is needed.
“This state has spent several million dollars during the past four years to erect new office buildings to house the ever-expanding state government. It is high time, we feel, that first things be placed first. It is little short of criminal to permit fire hazards and sub-standard conditions to exist in those institutions where wards of the state are confined in overcrowded quarters.”

Nov 29: “State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper said today the Thanksgiving Eve fire which claimed 17 lives at Huntington State Hospital and one of two minor blazes at the mental institution last night “have the earmarks of arson.” However, he said lie wasn’t “making any accusations,” adding that the “situation will bear watching.”
“Three more victims of the Wednesday fire died early today. They included Miss Cleon Mitchum, 24, of Bee Three Hollow, and Ruth Barnette, 34, of Huntington, both victims of smoke inhalation, the hospital said. Mrs. Lettie Farley, 83, of Harts, died of burns….

Nov 29: “Huntington, Nov. 29 (AP) – Wary attendants, warned that a ‘firebug’ might strike again at any time, patrolled the wards and corridors of Huntington State Hospital Saturday night, poking their flashlights into closets and out-of-the way corners. They were placed on 24-hour alert after the fourth fire within four days broke out at the mental institution….State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper said the Wednesday night holocaust and two of the three fires since then had ‘the earmarks of arson.’ He was supported by Fire Chief Floyd L. Crouse….
“An attendant, questioned four hours last night and then released, was taken into custody again today and given three lie detector tests by an arson detective from Raper’s office, C. H. Cobb. Raper said the tests cleared the man of any suspicion.
“The fire marshal said the latest fire at the hospital, not disclosed immediately, broke out at 6:25 a. m. Saturday in ward building No. 3. housing 100 psychotic men. It was discovered blazing in back of a door facing into a recess and put out by patients themselves. Raper said burned matches and paper were found after the fire was extinguished. He said the debris apparently had been swept into a hole in the woodwork near the door frame. The fire marshal conceded that it may have been ignited by a cigarette tucked hastily into the hole by a patient to avoid being caught smoking. Patients are forbidden to smoke in the building.

Cobb has ruled out arson as a possible cause of the Thanksgiving Eve fire which claimed 17 lives at Huntington State Hospital….Cobb said yesterday…the blaze in ward building No. 4 – where two patients were fatally burned, 13 suffocated and two died later from smoke inhalation – appears to have originated in stacks of bushel baskets stored in the basement of the three-story, 56-year-old structure. Cobb expressed the belief the blaze was started by a cigarette carelessly tossed into the stack….Cobb said the fact that inflammable[13] baskets were stored in the basement of building No. 4 is a matter for the hospital administration to correct. But he added, ‘There are many homes and business places in every city where similar conditions exist. There was no other place for storage.’” (Charleston Daily Mail, WV. “Fatal Hospital Blaze Held Accidental by Investigator.” 12-2-1952, p. 21.)
Dec 2: “Huntington, Dec. 2 (AP) – Investigators ceased questioning today of an hysterical suspect believed to have set one of four fires — in one of which 17 women and children were killed — at the Huntington State Hospital last week. ‘We were dealing with an irrational person,’ said State Fire Marshal C. A. Raper. ‘His hysteria was mounting — we weren’t dealing with a normal person and normal questioning procedure didn’t apply — so we called it off.’ Raper made plain that the suspect was a patient at the mental institution, and said he had recommended that a psychiatrist take over the examination at a later time.
“The marshal’s statement temporarily capped the active investigation of the fires, which with the
continuing inquiry have kept excitement at a high pitch at the mental institution for nearly a week….
“The marshal said that ‘incendiarism’ has not been ruled out as the cause of the original fire explaining that the word was not to be confused with arson. An incendiarist, he said, may have set the fire, not realizing what he was doing or its consequences. Another possibility is that a patient or other person may have set it accidentally while smoking in the basement in violation of the rules. A collection of empty bushel baskets provided the inflammable material that touched off the holocaust….
“Raper said he was anxious that the investigation could be wound up, to avoid further inciting of patients at the institution ‘who might get ideas’ if the inquiry is prolonged.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Probers Cease Questioning Hysterical Suspect Believed to Have Set One of 4 Huntington Fires.” 12-3-1952, p. 8.)

Burdett, president of the State Board of Control, in his first public speaking engagement since the Thanksgiving Eve fire which took 17 lives at Huntington State Hospital. Addressing students at West Virginia Institute of Technology, Burdett said the ‘unfortunate tragedy’ at old Ward No. 4 Building at Huntington ‘was due in a great part to improper housing facilities.’” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Millions Sought to Fix Firetraps.” 12-5-1952, pp. 1 and 5.)

Dec 9-10: Associated Press. “…yesterday…the State Board of Education…in a day-long session [discussed]…a study of fire prevention steps at state institutions…. In a discussion this morning of fire prevention steps at state institutions under’ its control, the Board voted to request the State Fire Marshal to follow up as soon as possible inspections of buildings made within approximately the last year. With the recent Huntington State Hospital fire which took 17 lives in mind, the board also directed that state college presidents provide item-by-item accounting of what has been done to meet shortcomings noted previously in fire protection.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Tech Dormitory Contract Given to Kuhn Company.” 12-10-1952, p. 18.)
Jan 7, 1953: “Huntington, Jan. 7 (AP) – Fire-jittery Huntington, with four major blazes since last Aug. 15, took steps today toward organizing a 1,200 man volunteer fire department to aid in emergencies. In addition to assisting city firemen, the volunteers would also be trained in civil defense duties for use in event of an enemy attack. Plans for organizing the group were made at a meeting between Mayor Cecil Thompson and A. J. Darrah, Cabell County Civil Defense director. Thompson, who took office Jan. 1, only this week announced plans to bolster the city fire department with additional full-time employes. He said plans for a volunteer department would not affect this move. Darrah said that after members were recruited they would be trained in classes held the year-round by city firemen. They would serve without pay and have no civil service status. Mayor Thompson said the full legalities of such an organization have not yet been fully explored, but the city intends to find out about it soon. Most volunteer fire departments operate under a state charter in cities or communities which do not have full-time firemen. Huntington suffered more than a million dollars in fire losses in 1952, and one of the worst fires – at the Huntington State Hospital Thanksgiving Eve – claimed 17 lives.” (Charleston Gazette, WV. “Huntington Plans Amateur Fire Aid.” 1-8-1953, p. 18.)
July 8, 1953: “The state board of control is beginning preliminary planning for fireproofing state hospitals at Huntington, Weston and Spencer. A Thanksgiving Eve fire at the Huntington State Hospital claimed the lives of 17 mental patients. Subsequently, the 1953 Legislature appropriated upwards of 2½ million dollars for fireproofing the three institutions. The board met today with Supt. Hiram W. Davis of Huntington State Hospital to discuss what steps are advisable there, where one million dollars is available. One new building may be constructed.
“President Joe F. Burdett said the three board members would visit Weston State Hospital Friday with a similar aim. Lawmakers appropriated. $1,150,000 for fireproofing that institution.
“In recent months, the State Fire Marshal condemned as fire-hazards two buildings at Weston which housed about 150 patients and the structures are being torn down.
“Funds available for fireproofing Spencer State Hospital amount to $600,000.” (Charleston Daily Mail, WV. “Fireproofing Plan Studied. Work at Hospitals Being Considered.” 7-8-1953, p. 24.)
Background on the Huntington State Hospital
e-WV: “Huntington State Hospital, today known as the Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital, was established by the legislature as an insane asylum in 1897 and called the Home for Incurables. At the time of its inception, the public viewed such hospitals as places where the mentally ill were placed to remove them from society for custodial care. The tall wire fence and iron gates gave the facility in Huntington the appearance of a penal institution rather than a hospital. The gates were taken away in 1950, and the gate house at the hospital entrance was removed in 1961.
“The site, consisting of 30 acres of land, was donated to the state by the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Huntington. On the eastern edge of Huntington, the hospital fronts on Norway Avenue. In 1901, the name was changed to West Virginia Asylum, and the patient census was 150. The peak patient population was about 1,460 in 1956. In 1916, the name was changed to Huntington State Hospital.
“Tragedy struck the hospital November 26, 1952. A fire on the evening before Thanksgiving killed 14 patients, with three more patients later dying of injuries.
“In July 1958, the vocational rehabilitation center was established at Huntington State Hospital, the first in the nation to be located on the same grounds with a state hospital. The center offered vocational, social, psychological, medical, and related services necessary to enable the patient to prepare for a return to community living.
“In 1995, the legislature again changed the facility’s name, renaming it Huntington Hospital. During the October 1999 celebration of the hospital’s centennial, Governor Cecil Underwood announced the renaming of Huntington Hospital as the Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital, a tribute to Dr. Mitchell-Bateman’s lifetime career of helping the mentally ill. The 90-bed psychiatric hospital is administered by the Department of Health and Human Resources. Twelve buildings are located on the site.” (e-WV. “Huntington State Hospital.” The West Virginia Encyclopedia, 3-2-2012.)

Biography
William Marland is Notable.
William Casey Marland was born in Johnson City, Illinois, and moved with his parents to Glen Rogers, Wyoming County, at age seven. After working in the coal mines, he attended the University of Alabama and received his law degree from West Virginia University. During World War II, Marland saw combat duty as a Navy gunnery officer in the South Pacific and attained the rank of lieutenant. He served briefly as a law clerk for the United States District Court for Southern West Virginia before being named the state Assistant Attorney General by Governor Clarence Watson Meadows in 1948. The following year, Marland was appointed Attorney General and was elected to that position the following year.
Three days after becoming governor, Marland proposed a severance tax on extractive industries, most notably coal. The legislature, heavily backed by the coal industry, blocked this tax and others which would have benefitted schools and roads. Marland advocated the desegregation of schools, expansion of the state parks and other recreational facilities, improved unemployment and workers' compensation laws, and an industrial development program.
After an unsuccessful bid for the United States Senate in 1956, Marland established a law practice in Charleston. In 1958, he again was defeated for the Democratic Senate nomination and moved to Chicago to work for a coal company. In 1965, Marland returned to West Virginia as associate director of a horse racing enterprise. Soon thereafter, he was stricken with cancer. Marland died in Barrington, Illinois, later that year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_C._Marland William Casey Marland (March 26, 1918 – November 26, 1965), a Democrat, was the 24th Governor of West Virginia from 1953 to 1957. He is best known for his early attempts to tax companies that depleted the state's natural resources, especially coal, as well as overseeing the generally non-violent implementation of school desegregation, during an era when other Southern governors opposed it. Biography Son of a mining boss, Joseph Wesley and Maude Casey Marland, he was born in Johnston City, Illinois on March 26, 1918. His family moved to the coal town of Glen Rogers in Wyoming County, West Virginia when he was seven. During World War II, he served as a Navy lieutenant in the Pacific theater, completing four tours. He attended the University of Alabama, where he was a star football player, and received a law degree from West Virginia University in 1947. He married Valerie Allen Marland in 1942, and they had three children: William Allen, Susan Lynn, and John Wesley. Allen was appointed law clerk to Federal Judge Ben Moore, and in August 1948, he was appointed Assistant Attorney General. Upon resignation of former Attorney General Ira J. Partlow December 1, 1949, he was appointed Attorney General. In November 1950, he was elected to the office. Later years The pressures on Marland may have contributed to the development of alcoholism. Accusations that he drank heavily in office or at inappropriate times during the day have been made by Underwood. After his second Senate loss, Marland worked as an attorney, eventually relocating to the Chicago area. In the early 1960s, the ex-governor gave up drinking. But it was not his fate to live out his life as a private individual. A few years after his recovery, he was recognized by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter. Marland indicated that he was working as a taxi driver, and a subsequent article was released to wire services on April 13, 1965. The story received great attention in West Virginia and nationally. Knowing that the story was about to break and concerned about damage to his family, he called a press conference and spoke candidly about his alcoholism, how he overcame it, and his reasons for driving a taxi: to hold in check a level of ambition that may have contributed to his drinking. His fortunes dramatically changed for the better. He was soon invited to appear on Jack Paar's television talk show, and was hired to run a West Virginia horse racing concern. But shortly thereafter, he was struck down by pancreatic cancer. He died of the disease in his Barrington, Illinois home, attended by his wife, children, other relatives, and family friends, on November 26, 1965. His widow followed him in death in 1977.

LOCATION, SIZE, AND EXTENT
Located in the eastern United States, in the South Atlantic region, West Virginia ranks 41st in size among the 50 states.
The area of West Virginia totals 24,231 sq mi (62,758 sq km), including 24,119 sq mi (62,468 sq km) of land and 112 sq mi (290 sq km) of inland water. The state extends 265 mi (426 km) e-w; its maximum n-s extension is 237 mi (381 km). West Virginia is one of the most irregularly shaped states in the United States, with two panhandles of land—the northern, narrower one separating parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the eastern panhandle separating parts of Maryland and Virginia.
West Virginia is bordered on the n by Ohio (with the line formed by the Ohio River), Pennsylvania, and Maryland (with most of the line defined by the Potomac River); on the e and s by Virginia; and on the w by Kentucky and Ohio (with the line following the Ohio, Big Sandy, and Tug Fork rivers).
The total boundary length of West Virginia is 1,180 mi (1,899 km). The geographical center of the state is in the Elk River Public Hunting Area in Braxton County, 4 mi (6 km) e of Sutton.
TOPOGRAPHY
West Virginia lies within two divisions of the Appalachian Highlands. Most of the eastern panhandle, which is crossed by the Allegheny Mountains, is in the Ridge and Valley region. The remainder, or more than two-thirds of the state, is part of the Allegheny Plateau, to the west of a bold escarpment known as the Allegheny Front, and tilts toward the Ohio River.
The mean elevation of West Virginia is 1,500 ft (458 m), higher than any other state east of the Mississippi River. Its highest point, Spruce Knob, towers 4,861 ft (1,483 m) above sea level. Major lowlands lie along the rivers, especially the Potomac, Ohio, and Kanawha. A point on the Potomac River near Harpers Ferry has the lowest elevation, only 240 ft (73 m) above sea level. West Virginia has no natural lakes.
Most of the eastern panhandle drains into the Potomac River. The Ohio and its tributaries—the Monongahela, Little Kanawha, Kanawha, Guyandotte, and Big Sandy—drain most of the Allegheny Plateau section. Subterranean streams have carved out numerous caverns—including Seneca Caverns, Smoke Hole Caverns, and Organ Cave—from limestone beds.
During the Paleozoic era, when West Virginia was under water, a 30,000-ft (9,000-m) layer of rock streaked with rich coal deposits was laid down over much of the state. Alternately worn down and uplifted during succeeding eras, most of West Virginia is thus a plateau where rivers have carved deep valleys and gorges and given the land a rugged character.
CLIMATE
West Virginia has a humid continental climate, with hot summers and cool to cold winters. The climate of the eastern panhandle is influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic slope and is similar to that of nearby coastal areas. Mean annual temperatures vary from 56°f (13°c) in the southwest to 48°f (9°c) at higher elevations. The yearly average is 53°f (12°c). The highest recorded temperature, 112°f (44°c), was at Martinsburg on 10 July 1936; the lowest, −37°f (−38°c), at Lewisburg on 30 December 1917.
Prevailing winds are from the south and west, and seldom reach hurricane or tornado force. In Charleston, average annual precipitation is about 42.9 in (108 cm) and is slightly heavier on the western slopes of the Alleghenies. Accumulations of snow may vary from about 20 in (51cm) in the western sections to more than 50 in (127 cm) in the higher mountains.
FLORA AND FAUNA
With its varied topography and climate, West Virginia provides a natural habitat for more than 3,200 species of plants in three life zones: Canadian, Alleghenian, and Carolinian. Oak, maple, poplar, walnut, hickory, birch, and such softwoods as hemlock, pine, and spruce are the common forest trees. Rhododendron, laurel, dogwood, redbud, and pussy willow are among the more than 200 flowering trees and shrubs. Rare plant species include the box huckleberry, Guyandotte beauty, and Kate's mountain clover. The Cranberry Glades, an ancient lake bed similar to a glacial bog, contains the bog rosemary and other plant species common in more northern climates. In April 2006, six plant species were listed as threatened or endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, including shale barren rock-cress, harperella, northeastern bulrush, running buffalo clover, Virginia spirea, and small whorled pogonia.
West Virginia fauna includes at least 56 species and subspecies of mammals and more than 300 types of birds. The gray wolf, puma, elk, and bison of early times have disappeared. The white-tailed (Virginia) deer and the black bear (both protected by the state) as well as the wildcat are still found in the deep timber of the Allegheny ridges; raccoons, skunks, woodchucks, opossums, gray and red foxes, squirrels, and cottontail rabbits remain numerous. Common birds include the cardinal, tufted titmouse, brown thrasher, scarlet tanager, catbird, and a diversity of sparrows, woodpeckers, swallows, and warblers. Major game birds are the wild turkey, bobwhite quail, and ruffed grouse; hawks and owls are the most common birds of prey. Notable among more than 100 species of fish are smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, and brook trout (the state fish). The copperhead and rattlesnake are both numerous and poisonous. In April 2006, 13 animal species (vertebrates and invertebrates) were listed as threatened or endangered in West Virginia, including the bald eagle, three species (gray, Indiana, and Virginia big-eared) of bat, fanshell, flat-spired three-toothed snail, and the Cheat Mountain salamander.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Major responsibility for environmental protection in West Virginia rests with the Division of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP was established in October 1991 and became West Virginia's leading environmental agency in July 1992, with the consolidation of the state's major environmental regulatory programs. Today, the DEP is responsible for the oversight of the state's Abandoned Mine Lands, Air Quality, Mining and Reclamation, Oil and Gas, Waste Management, and Water Resources programs. A new DEP program is the Office of Environmental Advocate. The office was created to improve public access and input into DEP functioning.
Environmental issues confronting the state of West Virginia include the restoration of about 2,000 mi (3,218 km) of streams that are being impacted by acid mine damage. To combat the problem, the state has created a Stream Restoration program, which is using a variety of treatment methods, including limestone drum technology, to improve water quality. The first treatment station is under construction in the Blackwater River watershed, with plans to construct a second station in the Middlefork River watershed. The state is in the midst of an initiative that focuses on better planning and management of West Virginia's five major watersheds. In 1996, less than 1% of West Virginia's land was designated wetlands.
The proper disposal of solid waste had been addressed through requirements for landfills to meet environmental safety standards by the end of 1994 or face closure. West Virginia also mandates that cities with populations of 10,000 or more develop recycling programs. In 2003, 102.2 million lb of toxic chemicals were released in the state. Also in 2003, West Virginia had 154 hazardous waste sites listed in the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) database, nine of which were on the National Priorities List as of 2006, including the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory of the US Navy. In 2005, the EPA spent over $1.3 million through the Superfund program for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites in the state. The same year, federal EPA grants awarded to the state included $2 million for projects involving water quality protection and control through nonpoint source program management.
POPULATION
West Virginia ranked 37th in population in the United States with an estimated total of 1,816,856 in 2005, an increase of 0.5% since 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, West Virginia's population grew from 1,793,477 to 1,808,344, an increase of 0.8%. The population is projected to decline to 1.76 million by 2025. The population density in 2004 was 75.4 persons per sq mi.
In 2004 the median age was 40.3, compared to the US average of 36.2. Persons under 18 years old accounted for 21.2% of the population (the national average was 25%) while 15.3% was age 65 or older (national average 12.4%).
The state's population grew rapidly in the 1880s and 1890s, as coal mining, lumbering, and railroads expanded to meet the needs of nearby industrial centers, but the pace of expansion slowed in the early 20th century. The population peaked at 2,005,552 in 1950; then mass unemployment, particularly in the coal industry, caused thousands of families to migrate to Midwestern cities. An upswing began in the 1970s.
West Virginia's major cities all have populations of less than 100,000. However, the Charleston metropolitan area had an estimated 2004 population of 307,763. The Huntington-Ashland metropolitan region, which includes parts of eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio, had an estimated population of 287,038 the same year.
ETHNIC GROUPS
Nearly all Indian inhabitants had left the state before the arrival of European settlers. In the 2000 census, about 3,606 Indians were counted. In 2004, 0.2% of the population was American Indian.
The 57,232 blacks in the state in 2000 constituted about 3.2% of the population. That percentage remained unchanged in 2004. The majority lived in industrial centers and coal-mining areas. Only 19,390 West Virginians, or 1.1% of the population, were foreign born in 2000. In 2000, there were 12,279 Hispanics and Latinos, representing 0.7% of the total population. In 2004, Hispanics or Latinos accounted for 0.8% of the total population. In 2000, there were 9,434 persons of Asian origin. In 2004, 0.6% of the population was Asian. In 2004, 0.8% of the population reported origin of two or more races. Persons reporting at least one specific an-cestry group in 2000 included 176,297 English, 253,388 Germans, 198,473 Irish, and 37,837 Dutch.
LANGUAGES
With little foreign immigration and with no effect from the original Iroquois and Cherokee Indians, West Virginia maintains Midland speech. There is a secondary contrast between the northern half and the southern half, with the former influenced by Pennsylvania and the latter by western Virginia.
The basic Midland speech sounds the /r/ after a vowel as in far and short, and has /kag/ for keg, /greezy/ for greasy, sofy instead of sofa, and nicker in place of neigh. The northern part has /yelk/ for yolk, /loom/ for loam, an /ai/ diphthong so stretched that sat and sight sound very much alike, run for creek, and teeter(totter) for seesaw. The southern half pronounces here and hear as /hyeer/, aunt and can't as /aint/ and /kaint/, and uses branch for creek, and tinter for teeter.
In 2000, 1,661,036 West Virginians—97.3% of the population five years of age or over (virtually unchanged since 1990)—spoke only English at home.
The following table gives selected statistics from the 2000 Census for language spoken at home by persons five years old and over. The category "Other Indic languages" includes Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, and Romany. The category "Other Asian languages" includes Dravidian languages, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Turkish.

RELIGIONS
Throughout its history, the religiously active population in West Virginia has been overwhelmingly Protestant. Most settlers before the American Revolution were Anglicans, Presbyterians, Quakers, or members of German sects, such as Lutherans, German Reformed, Dunkers, and Mennonites. The Great Awakening had a profound effect on these settlers and they avidly embraced its evangelism, emotionalism, and emphasis on personal religious experience. Catholics were mostly immigrants from Ireland and southern and eastern Europe.
The major Protestant denominations and the number of their adherents (in 2000 except as indicated) include the American Baptist Churches USA, 108,087; the United Methodist Church, 105,879 (in 2004); the Southern Baptist Convention, 43,606; and the Presbyterian Church USA, 28,467. In 2002, the Southern Baptist Convention reported 967 newly baptized members in the state. Other fundamentalist denominations included the Churches of Christ, 24,143; the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), 21,657; and the Church of the Nazarene, 21,389. In 2004, there were about 100,648 Roman Catholics in the state. In 2000, there were an estimated 2,400 Jews and 1,528 Muslims. Over 1.1 million people (about 64% of the population) were not counted as members of any religious organization.
TRANSPORTATION
West Virginia has long been plagued by inadequate transportation. The first major pre-Civil War railroad line was the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), completed to Wheeling in 1852. Later railroads, mostly built between 1880 and 1917 to tap rich coal and timber resources, also helped open up interior regions to settlement. Today, the railroads still play an important part in coal transportation. In 2003, CSX and Norfolk Southern were the state's Class I operators. In the same year, total rail mileage was 2,489 mi (4,007 km). Coal was the top commodity carried by rail that terminated and originated within the state that year. As of 2006, Amtrak provided east-west passenger service (Washington DC to Chicago) to 10 communities in the state.
In 2004, there were 37,011 mi (59,587 km) of public roads under the state system The West Virginia Turnpike was completed from Charleston to Princeton in 1955. There were some 1.3 million registered motor vehicles in the state in 2003 and 1,292,036 licensed drivers in 2004.
Major navigable inland rivers are the Ohio, Kanawha, and Monongahela. Each has locks and dams. West Virginia is home to the Port of Huntington-Tristate, the largest inland river port in the United States. Located on the Ohio River, the port handled 77.307 million tons of cargo in 2004, making it the eighth-busiest port in the United States. In 2003, waterborne shipments totaled 73.326 million tons. In 2004, West Virginia had 682 mi (1,098 km) of navigable inland waterways.
In 2005, West Virginia had a total of 126 public and private-use aviation-related facilities. This included 75 airports, 40 heliports, 1 STOLport (Short Take-Off and Landing), and 10 seaplane bases. Yeager Airport in Charleston is the state's main air terminal. In 2004, the airport had 292,054 passenger enplanements.
HISTORY
Paleo-Indian cultures in what is now West Virginia existed some 15,000 years ago, when hunters pursued buffalo and other large game. About 7000 bc, they were supplanted by Archaic cultures, marked by pursuit of smaller game. Woodland (Adena) cultures, characterized by mound-building and agriculture, prevailed after about 1000 bc.
By the 1640s, the principal Indian claimants, the Iroquois and Cherokee, had driven out older inhabitants and made the region a vast buffer land. When European settlers arrived only a few Shaw-nee, Tuscarora, and Delaware Indian villages remained, but the area was still actively used as hunting and warring grounds, and European possession was hotly contested.
The fur trade stimulated early exploration. In 1671, Thomas Batts and Robert Fallam explored New River and gave England a claim to the Ohio Valley, to which most of West Virginia belongs. France also claimed the Ohio Valley by virtue of an alleged visit by Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, in 1669. England eventually prevailed as a result of the French and Indian War.
Unsubstantiated tradition credits Morgan Morgan, who moved to Bunker Hill in 1731, with the first settlement in the state. By 1750, several thousand settlers were living in the eastern panhandle. In 1769, following treaties with the Iroquois and Cherokee, settlers began to occupy the Greenbrier, Monongahela, and upper Ohio valleys, and movement into other interior sections continued into the Revolutionary War, although wars with Indians occurred sporadically until the 1790s. The area that is now West Virginia was part of Virginia at the time of that state's entry into the Union, 25 June 1788.
Serious differences between eastern and western Virginia developed after the War of 1812. Eastern Virginia was dominated by a slaveholding aristocracy, while small diversified farms and infant industries predominated in western Virginia. Westerners bristled under property qualifications for voting, inadequate representation in the Virginia legislature, and undemocratic county governments, as well as poor transportation, inadequate schools, inequitable taxes, and economic retardation. A constitutional convention in 1829–30 failed to effect changes, leaving the westerners embittered. Another convention in 1850–51 met the west's political demands but exacerbated economic differences.
When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, western counties remaining loyal to the Union set up the Reorganized Government and consented to the separation of present-day West Virginia from Virginia. After approval by Congress and President Lincoln, West Virginia entered the Union on 20 June 1863 as the 35th state. West Virginia won control over Jefferson and Berkeley counties in the eastern panhandle in 1871, giving it a greater share of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lines in the state.
Both Bourbon Democratic and Republican governors after the Civil War sought to improve transportation, foster immigration, and provide tax structures attractive to business. Industrialists such as Democrats Henry Gassaway Davis and Johnson N. Camden, who amassed fortunes in coal, oil, railroads, and timber, sat in the US Senate and dominated party affairs in West Virginia. Similarly, industrialists Nathan Goff Jr., and Stephen B. El-kins—Davis's son-in-law—wielded preponderant influence in the Republican Party from the 1870s until 1911. Native industrialists often collaborated with eastern interests to give the state a colonial economy dominated by absentee owners. Although Republican governors of the early 20th century were dominated by Elkins, they were attuned to Progressive ideas and were instrumental in the adoption of the direct primary, safety legislation for the coal mines, revision of corporate tax laws, and improvements in highways and education.
The Great Depression of the 1930s, from which West Virginia suffered acutely, ushered in a Democratic era. West Virginians embraced the New Deal and Fair Deal philosophies of presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman.
World Wars I and II produced significant changes in West Virginia, particularly through stimulation of chemical, steel, and textile industries in the Kanawha and Ohio valleys and the eastern panhandle. These industries lessened the state's dependence on extractive industries, historically the backbone of its economy, and gave cities and towns a more cosmopolitan character.
Overshadowing the economic diversification was the plight of the coal-mining areas, where, after World War II, mechanization and strip-mining displaced thousands of miners and resulted in a large exodus to other states. By 1960, West Virginia was considered one of the most economically depressed areas of the country, primarily because of conditions in the mining regions. The antipoverty programs of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations provided some relief, but much of it was temporary, as was a brief upsurge in coal mining during the late 1970s.
Over the last several decades, West Virginia's manufacturing and mining sectors have shrunk dramatically. Automation, foreign competition, and the recession of the early 1980s caused employment in steel, glass, and chemical manufacturing and in coal mining to drop by a third between 1979 and 1985, when the state had the highest rate of unemployment in the nation.
West Virginia's economy improved in the 1990s. Coal and timber production expanded, and trade and tourism were boosted by the completion of Interstate Highway 64 in 1988. The state won a number of federal projects (including the FBI's fingerprint identification division), aided by the tenure of Democrat Robert C. Byrd as chairman of the US Senate Appropriations Committee from 1988 to 1995 and from 2001 to 2003. Byrd remained ranking member on the committee as of 2005.
In 2003, Democratic governor Bob Wise called for a special session of the legislature to prevent the state Workers' Compensation Fund from going bankrupt. The system provides medical care and cash benefits for workers injured on the job. Democrat Joe Manchin III was elected the state's governor in November 2004 after Wise decided not to run for reelection. Manchin's election marked the first time two persons of the same political party have followed one another in the governor's office since 1964.
STATE GOVERNMENT
Since becoming a state, West Virginia has had two constitutions. The first, adopted in 1863, served until 1872, when the present constitution was adopted. As of January 2005, 71 amendments to this constitution had become law.
The legislature consists of a Senate with 34 members and a house of delegates with 100 members. Senators and delegates must be at least 25 and 18 years old, respectively. All legislators must be qualified voters, state citizens, and residents of their districts for at least one year before taking their seats. In addition, delegates must have been US citizens for at least one year, and a one-year resident of the state. Senators must be US citizens for at least five years, and five-year residents of their state. Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms, and delegates serve for two years. The legislature meets annually in 60-day sessions, beginning in January. Special sessions may be called by a petition signed by three-fifths of the members of each house. The legislative salary in 2004 was $15,000, unchanged from 1999.
Elected officials of the executive branch of government are the governor, secretary of state, auditor, attorney general, commissioner of agriculture, and treasurer, all elected for four-year terms. The governor, who may serve no more than two terms in succession, must be at least 30 years old, a registered voter, a citizen of the state for at least five years, and a resident for at least one. His successor is the president of the Senate (there is no lieutenant governor). As of December 2004, the governor's salary was $90,000.
Bills passed by the legislature become law when signed by the governor or left unsigned for five days when the legislature is in session (or 15 days after it has adjourned). Bills vetoed by the governor become law if passed again by a majority of the elected members of each house. Either house may propose an amendment to the state constitution. If both houses approve it by a two-thirds majority, it is submitted to the voters at the next regular election or at a special election for adoption by majority vote.
Voters in West Virginia must live in the state, be US citizens, and at least 18 years old. Restrictions apply to those convicted of certain crimes and to those judged by the court as mentally incompetent to vote.
POLITICAL PARTIES
The Republican Party presided over the birth of West Virginia, but the Democrats have generally been in power for the past five decades. In 1940, a strong New Deal faction, headed by Matthew M. Neely and supported by organized labor, formed the "state-house machine," which became a dominant factor in state politics. Only two Republicans, Cecil H. Underwood (1957–61, 1997–2001) and Arch Moore Jr. (1969–77, 1985–89), have been governor since 1933. Underwood was elected in 1996, having vacated the office 35 years earlier. Democrat Bob Wise unseated Underwood in 2000. Underwood did not seek a second term; in 2004 Democrat Joe Manchin III was elected.
Democratic senator Robert C. Byrd, first elected in 1958, was reelected to his eighth term in 2000. Democratic senator John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV, first elected in 1984, was reelected to his fourth term in 2002. Following the 2004 elections, West Virginia sent two Democrats and one Republican to the US House of Representatives. As of mid-2005, Democrats controlled both the state House and state Senate. There were 21 Democrats and 13 Republicans in the state Senate, and 68 Democrats and 32 Republicans in the state House.

Republican presidential candidates carried West Virginia in 1956, 1972, 1984, 2000, and 2004. In 2000, Republican George W. Bush received 52% of the popular vote to Democrat Al Gore's 46%; Green Party candidate Ralph Nader garnered 2% of the vote. In 2004, Bush again won the state, with 56% of the vote to Democrat John Kerry's 43%. In 2004 there were 1,169,000 registered voters. In 1998, 63% of registered voters were Democratic, 29% Republican, and 8% unaffiliated or members of other parties. The state had five electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
As of 2005, West Virginia had 55 counties, 234 municipal governments, 55 school districts, and 342 special districts. The chief county officials are the three commissioners, elected for six-year terms, who serve on the county court; the sheriff, assessor, county clerk, and prosecuting attorney, elected for four-year terms; and the five-member board of education, elected for six-year terms. The sheriff is the principal peace officer but also collects taxes and disburses funds of the county court and board of education. The cities, towns, and villages are divided into classes according to population. They are run by mayor and council or by council and city manager.
In 2005, local government accounted for about 60,712 full-time (or equivalent) employment positions.
STATE SERVICES
To address the continuing threat of terrorism and to work with the federal Department of Homeland Security, homeland security in West Virginia operates under the authority of the governor; the public safety director/secretary was designated as the state homeland security advisor.
The Department of Education determines policy for public elementary and secondary schools, and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission governs the state's colleges and universities. The Department of Transportation is responsible for construction and operation of state roads. Services of the Department of Health and Human Resources center around treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse, mental health, environmental health services, maternal and child care, family planning, and control of communicable diseases, along with a variety of economic, medical, and social services.
In the area of public protection, the Department of Public Safety enforces criminal and traffic laws, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management oversees civil defense and other emergency activities, and the Department of Corrections oversees prisons and other such facilities. The Public Service Commission regulates utilities. The Housing Development Fund concentrates on housing for low- and middle-income families and the elderly. The Department of Environmental Protection has the major responsibility for protection of forests, wildlife, water, and other resources, for reclamation projects, and for operation of state parks and recreational facilities.
Responsibility in labor matters is shared by the Division of Labor, Bureau of Employment Programs, Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training, and BrickStreet (workers' compensation plan).
JUDICIAL SYSTEM
The highest court in West Virginia, the Supreme Court of Appeals, has five justices, including the chief justice, elected for 12-year terms. The court has broad discretionary appellate jurisdiction in both civil and criminal cases, and original jurisdiction in certain other cases.
West Virginia's general trial court is the circuit court, with 156 judges in 1999. Each circuit serves from one to four counties and has jurisdiction over civil cases in amounts that exceed $300 and criminal cases. Circuit courts also have jurisdiction over juveniles, domestic relations, and certain administrative appeals. Family law specialists conduct most domestic relations hearings.
Local courts include the county magistrate and municipal courts. Magistrate courts have original jurisdiction in criminal matters but may not convict or sentence in felony cases. All judges down to the magistrate level are popularly elected by partisan ballot. Municipal, police, or mayor's courts have authority to enforce municipal ordinances. Unlike other courts, these are not part of the unified court system. Appeals from municipal and magistrate courts are to circuit courts, and from circuit courts are to the supreme court.
As of 31 December 2004, a total of 5,067 prisoners were held in West Virginia's state and federal prisons, an increase from 4,758 of 2.5% from the previous year. As of year-end 2004, a total of 4,589 inmates were female, up from 405 or 13.3% from the year before. Among sentenced prisoners (one year or more), West Virginia had an incarceration rate of 277 per 100,000 population in 2004.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, West Virginia in 2004, had a violent crime rate (murder/nonnegligent manslaughter; forcible rape; robbery; aggravated assault) of 271.2 reported incidents per 100,000 population, or a total of 4,924 reported incidents. Crimes against property (burglary; larceny/theft; and motor vehicle theft) in that same year totaled 45,497 reported incidents or 2,506.2 reported incidents per 100,000 people. West Virginia abolished its death penalty in 1965.
In 2003, West Virginia spent $76,290,914 on homeland security, an average of $41 per state resident.
ARMED FORCES
In 2004, there were 503 active duty military personnel and 1,810 civilian personnel stationed in West Virginia. The state has no military bases, academies, or training facilities. The Naval Telecommunications Station, Sugar Grove, operated by the National Security Agency is the main receiving facility for the Navy's global high-frequency radio communications and for point-to-point circuits destined for Washington, DC, and has been mentioned as a site that intercepts all international communications entering the Eastern United States.
In 2004, defense contracts awarded West Virginia totaled about $279 million, and defense payroll outlays were $410 million.
In 2003, there were 188,101 veteran living in West Virginia, of whom 27,900 served in World War II; 23,322 in the Korean conflict; 59,857 in the Vietnam era; and 24,626 in the Gulf War. In 2004, the Veterans Administration expended more than $747 million in pensions, medical assistance, and other major veterans' benefits.
As of 31 October 2004, the West Virginia State Police employed 649 full-time sworn officers.
MIGRATION
West Virginia has considerable national and ethnic diversity. Settlers before the Civil War consisted principally of English, German, Scotch-Irish, and Welsh immigrants, many of whom came by way of Pennsylvania. A second wave of immigration from the 1880s to the 1920s brought thousands of Italians, Poles, Austrians, and Hungarians to the coal mines and industrial towns, which also attracted many blacks from the South. In 1980, 79% of the residents of the state were born in West Virginia (fourth highest among states).
Between 1950 and 1970, West Virginia suffered a 13% loss in population, chiefly from the coal-mining areas; but between 1970 and 1980, population rose by almost 12%. According to federal estimates, the state had a net migration gain of 71,000 in the 1970s and a net migration loss of about 81,000 in the 1980s. Between 1990 and 1998, West Virginia had net gains of 8,000 in domestic migration and 3,000 in international migration. In 1998, the state admitted 375 foreign immigrants. Between 1990 and 1998, the state's overall population increased by 1%. In the period 2000–05, net international migration was 3,691 and net internal migration was 10,518, for a net gain of 14,209 people.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION
The West Virginia Commission on Interstate Cooperation participates in the Council of State Governments. West Virginia is a member of some 30 regional compacts, including the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation and Potomac River Basin compacts, Interstate Mining Compact Commission, Wheeling Creek Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Commission, Ohio River Basin Commission, Appalachian Regional Commission, Jennings Randolph Lake Project Compact, Southern Regional Education Board, Southern States Energy Board, and Southern Governors' Association. In fiscal year 2005, federal grants to West Virginia totaled $2.960 billion, an estimated $2.861 billion in fiscal year 2006, and an estimated $3.045 billion in fiscal year 2007.
ECONOMY
Agriculture was the backbone of West Virginia's economy until the 1890s, when extractive industries (including coal, oil, natural gas, and timber) began to play a major role. World War I stimulated important secondary industries, such as chemicals, steel, glass, and textiles. The beauty of West Virginia's mountains and forests attracted an increasing number of tourists in the 1990s, but the state's rugged topography and relative isolation from major markets continued to hamper its economic development. West Virginia did not participate substantially in the high-tech boom of the 1990s, and the long-term decline of its critical coal mining sector continued. From 1997 to 2000, output from the general services and retail trade sectors grew 19% and 13.6%, respectively, while coal mining declined 17.6%, trends that meant the loss of coal mining jobs paying more than $53,000 a year and the increase in service jobs paying $14,000 to $24,000 annually. Output from the manufacturing sector fell at the same rate as mining output (17.6%) from 1997 to 2000, although from a high base ($6.5 billion in 1997 vs. $2.4 billion from coal mining). Overall growth was sluggish in the late 1990s, reaching 3.8% in 1999 (up from 1.9% in 1998), but falling to 0.1% in 2000. In 2001, growth actually improved to 3.5%, including a 13.8% jump in output from coal mining. However, by 2002, the national economic slowdown had begun to impact West Virginia's employment, and by October 2002, there was a year-on-year losses in jobs in every state economic sector except services and government (a sector that grew 24.5% 1997 to 2001). The overall decline in employment was 0.7%, ahead of the national average of 0.4%.
In 2004, West Virginia's gross state product (GSP) was $49.454 billion, of which manufacturing (durable and nondurable goods) accounted for the largest share at $5.469 billion or 11% of GSP, followed by health care and social assistance at $4.757 billion (9.6% of GSP), and the real estate sector at $4.598 billion (9.2% of GSP). In that same year, there were an estimated 119,806 small businesses in West Virginia. Of the 36,830 businesses that had employees, an estimated total of 35,621 or 96.7% were small companies. An estimated 3,937 new businesses were established in the state in 2004, down 4.6% from the year before. Business terminations that same year came to 5,136, down 7.5% from 2003. There were 247 business bankruptcies in 2004, down 14.8% from the previous year. In 2005, the state's personal bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13) filing rate was 600 filings per 100,000 people, ranking West Virginia 20th in the nation.
INCOME
In 2005 West Virginia had a gross state product (GSP) of $54 billion which accounted for 0.4% of the nation's gross domestic product and placed the state at number 41 in highest GSP among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2004 West Virginia had a per capita personal income (PCPI) of $25,792. This ranked 50th in the United States and was 78% of the national average of $33,050. The 1994–2004 average annual growth rate of PCPI was 4.1%. West Virginia had a total personal income (TPI) of $46,749,648,000, which ranked 39th in the United States and reflected an increase of 5.3% from 2003.

The 2003–04 national change was 6.3%.
The US Census Bureau reports that the three-year average median household income for 2002–04 in 2004 dollars was $32,589 compared to a national average of $44,473. During the same period an estimated 16.1% of the population was below the poverty line as compared to 12.4% nationwide.
LABOR
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in April 2006 the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force in West Virginia 813,700, with approximately 33,600 workers unemployed, yielding an unemployment rate of 4.1%, compared to the national average of 4.7% for the same period. Preliminary data for the same period placed nonfarm employment at 754,200. Since the beginning of the BLS data series in 1976, the highest unemployment rate recorded in West Virginia was 18.2% in March 1983. The historical low was 3.8% in January 2006. Preliminary nonfarm employment data by occupation for April 2006 showed that approximately 5.1% of the labor force was employed in construction; 8.1% in manufacturing; 18.6% in trade, transportation, and public utilities; 4% in financial activities; 7.8% in professional and business services; 15.3% in education and health services; 9.3% in leisure and hospitality services; and 19% in government.
Important milestones in the growth of unionism were the organization of the state as District 17 of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) in 1890 and the formation of the State Federation of Labor in 1903. The coal miners fought to gain union recognition by coal companies, and instances of violence were not uncommon in the early 1900s. Wages, working conditions, and benefits for miners improved rapidly after World War II. Membership in unions in 1980 was 222,000, or 34% of the work force, compared to 47% in 1970, an indication of the UMWA's waning strength.
The BLS reported that in 2005, a total of 99,000 of West Virginia's 688,000 employed wage and salary workers were formal members of a union. This represented 14.4% of those so employed, up from 14.2% in 2004, and above the national average of 12%. Overall in 2005, a total of 107,000 workers (15.5%) in West Virginia were covered by a union or employee association contract, which includes those workers who reported no union affiliation. West Virginia is one of 28 states that does not have a right-to-work law.
As of 1 March 2006, West Virginia had a state-mandated minimum wage rate of $5.15 per hour, which was applied to those employers with six or more employees at any one location. In 2004, women in the state accounted for 46.7% of the employed civilian labor force.
AGRICULTURE
With estimated farm marketings of $429 million ($348 million from livestock and poultry), West Virginia ranked 46th among the 50 states in 2005. Poultry, meat animals, and dairy dominate the farm economy in the Mountain State.
Until about 1890 small, diversified farms were dominant, but, as in other states, farms have grown larger and the farm population has dropped. In 2004, the state had 3,600,000 acres (1,457,000 hectares), or 23% of its land, devoted to farming. Its 20,800 farms averaged 173 acres (70 hectares) in size. Major farm sections are the eastern panhandle, a tier of counties along the Virginia border, the upper Monongahela Valley, and the Ohio Valley. Leading crops produced in 2004 were hay, 1,062,000 tons; corn for grain, 3,799,000 bushels; corn for silage, 306,000 tons; commercial apples, 86,000,000 lb; and tobacco, 1,690,000 lb.
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
In 2005, there were an estimated 405,000 cattle and calves, valued at $315.9 million. During 2004, the state had 10,000 hogs and pigs, valued at around $1.1 million. During 2003, poultry farmers produced 357 million lb (162 million kg) of broilers valued at $121.5 million, and 92 million lb of turkey, valued at $33.1 million. The dairy industry yielded 222 million lb (101 million kg) of milk and 270 million eggs.
FISHING
West Virginia fishing has little commercial importance. In 2004, there were 34 trout farms, selling 378,000 lb (172,000 kg) of fish. In 2004, the state issued 269,727 sport fishing licenses. The White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery is located within the state. There are two state hatcheries.
FORESTRY
In 2004, West Virginia had four-fifths, or 12.1 million acres (4.9 million hectares), of its land area in forestland and, of this, 11.9 million acres (4.8 million hectares) are classified as timberland.
Despite increasing production of wood and paper products, West Virginia's total softwood and hardwood inventory has more than doubled since 1953. Sawtimber volumes average 6,500 board feet per acre. About 92% of West Virginia forest species are hardwoods, with approximately 77% of the timberland being of the oak-hickory forest type. In all, West Virginia's forests contain more than 100 species of trees.
During the early 1900s, West Virginia became a lumbering giant. From 1908 to 1911, some 1,500 mills produced up to 1.5 billion board ft of lumber annually to feed the nation's needs. By 1920, the state was first in the production of cherry and chestnut lumber and 13th in total production. After the extensive logging and resulting debris came forest fires which devastated the remaining forest resource and caused extensive soil erosion. In the early 1930s, a cooperative fire prevention program was initiated in the state and later in the early 1950s, an educational and forestry technical assistance program was created to help forest landowners manage and protect their forests. The maturing forests of West Virginia languished in their contribution to the state's economy until the 1980s when annual production, which had averaged around 350 to 450 million board ft per year, began to increase significantly.
Production increased to 600 million board ft in 1988, and 701 million board ft by 2004, with over 300 mills and manufacturing facilities. Employment in the forest industry is second only to the chemical and primary metal manufacturing industries. However, it is estimated that growth still exceeded removals by a ratio of 1.34 to 1.
The state is encouraging the professional management of its forests so they will continue to produce a sustained array of benefits, such as wood products, jobs, clean water, oxygen, scenery, and diverse recreational opportunities like hunting, hiking, and tourism.
MINING
According to preliminary data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the estimated value of nonfuel mineral production by West Virginia in 2003 was $168 million, which was only a marginal increase over 2002.
According to preliminary USGS data for 2003, crushed stone was the state's top nonfuel mineral by value, accounting for about 39% of all nonfuel mineral output, and was followed by cement (portland and masonry), industrial sand and gravel, lime and salt. Collectively, these five commodities accounted for around 95% of all nonfuel mineral output, by value. By volume, West Virginia in 2003 was the nation's ninth leading producer of salt.
Preliminary data for 2003 showed crushed stone production as totaling 14.8 million metric tons, with a value of $65.9 million, while construction sand and gravel that year at 1.6 million metric tons, with a value of $8 million.
All of West Virginia's mines in 2003 produced either coal or industrial minerals. No metals were mined in the state. Although raw steel and primary aluminum were produced in that year, materials were acquired from other states or foreign sources. West Virginia ranked 11th out of 12 primary aluminum producing states.

Members of the University of Notre Dame Community have access to millions of pages of primary source materials through the Adam Matthew Digital Collection (AM Explorer).
AM Explorer has published primary sources for teaching and research since 1990. The database spans the 15th - 21st Centuries, covering the sciences and humanities. It allows users to access millions of pages of primary source materials and collections gathered and developed in collaboration with archives and libraries worldwide.
The digital collections broach diverse themes such as borders and migrations, gender and sexuality, global history and war and conflict. The content includes photos, video, handwritten text recognition, data visualization and oral histories.
âGaining access to these Adam Matthew databases greatly expands our researchers' access to primary source materials,â said Mark Robison, interim program leader of Collection Strategy and Acquisitions and political science and peace studies librarian at the Hesburgh Libraries. âThe AM Explorer databases are organized into neat, thematic collections, which helps researchers quickly identify materials that might be useful to their projects.â
While the Hesburgh Libraries previously owned a small portion of the collections within the database, AM Explorer features plenty of new resources that Robison thinks will help ND students or faculty members conducting historical research. Through AM Explorer, users can find a range of historical documents, including firsthand accounts of US soldiers who served in World War II, records from the British Foreign Office, the archives of Amnesty International, scripts from the early days of American radio broadcasts and more.
âAdam Matthew's primary source collections are exceptionally user-friendly because of how clearly they are organized,â said Robison. âFor example, the Colonial Caribbean collection includes thousands of records documenting the first two centuries of British colonial rule in the Caribbean. Users can easily filter the results by document type (e.g., Diaries, Maps, Public Notices), subject (e.g., Religion, Law & Governance), or specific colony. Each of the AM collections is similarly well organized and cataloged to maximize discoverability.â
Full access to AM Explorer is a pilot. The librarians at the Hesburgh Libraries need faculty, student and staff usage statistics to inform acquisition decisions.
Unlike a typical database acquisition, access to the entirety of the AM Explorer collection is only temporary. At the end of this year, the collections strategy librarians will study how researchers use the database to determine which collections have been accessed, downloaded, and searched most frequently and then permanently purchase two or three of the most used collections.
âThese digitized collections include sources that can't be found anywhere else online and would otherwise require a special trip to a faraway archive to view,â he said. âAnyone conducting a project related to social, political, religious, economic, colonial, military, or literary history should take a look at what AM Explorer offers!â
Members of the Notre Dame community looking to use AM Explorer can do so from anywhere worldwide by visiting the Hesburgh Libraries databases and searching AM Explorer. Visitors to campus and members of the public may also access it and other library e-resources using the libraryâs guest computers located on the first floor of the Hesburgh Library.

|
Adam Matthew Digital, a SAGE company, has launched Quartex, a digital asset management solution designed to help libraries showcase archival collections. Informed by the white label platform that the company initially developed in 2012 to create its own digital collections and products, Quartex is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that includes cloud-based hosting and preservation of master files.
Company representatives emphasized that while the in-house platform served as a starting point, Quartex was built from the ground up with input from libraries. At launch, Quartex features include tiered back-end access management for staff workflows; simple migration of existing digitized assets and metadata from other platforms and repositories; International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) support; advanced in-platform cataloging options with support for most metadata standards; customizable dashboards to generate reports on asset types, status, and storage; and support for all major image types, audio, and video files.
Once collections are uploaded, Quartex generates Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)–compliant websites with tablet- and smartphone-ready responsive design, branding and styling options, usage statistics and site analytics for each published collection, an IIIF-compatible image viewer, the option of federated search across all Quartex-published content including content at other institutions, and more.
“Libraries want an out-of-the-box solution that will enable them to present content really professionally without needing a team of people with technical expertise,” Khal Rudin, managing director of Adam Matthew, told LJ. “The main challenges [libraries] face is finding something that they can use that looks professional without requiring a bespoke built system” using open source solutions such as Omeka, DSpace, or Fedora.
Quartex can also utilize integrated optical character recognition (OCR) capability to make collections of printed works full-text searchable. With additional per-image fees, it can also go a step further, enabling Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) to make a library’s digitized handwritten holdings, including manuscripts, letters, and more, full-text searchable as well. Launched last fall by Adam Matthew Digital, HTR is a proprietary artificial intelligence technology that utilizes neural networks to “train” its software to recognize a range of handwritten characters in linguistic context (currently all Western European languages), bringing the search functionality of OCR to digitized handwritten collections.
“For the end user, one of the key [benefits] is going to be search functionality,” Martin Drewe, head of platform services for Adam Matthew Digital, told LJ. “It should be easy to discover content and find relevant content…. Any content that you publish through Quartex can be made full-text searchable.” An upcoming release scheduled for December will include the ability to create in-platform transcripts of audio and video files, and to edit those transcripts, Drewe added.
In the process of developing Quartex, features have been incorporated in response to the varied needs of Adam Matthew’s customers. This will continue as the platform is refined.
“Everyone has different needs,” Drewe said. “We’ve been in discussion with a lot of the archives that we regularly partner with, and over the course of the last couple of years, we’ve been taking on board various customer requirements. And we’re able to respond pretty quickly to…external customer requirements and build those in,” ranging from simple requirements such as persistent URLs to the IIIF-compliant image viewer that launched with the platform.
Other customer-inspired functionality includes the ability to publish any individual digital asset to multiple digital collections. And the company is in the process of integrating support for the Mirador image viewer, which will enable end-users to view related content published or hosted in repositories around the world that support IIIF APIs.
“I think it’s key for anyone developing a product such as this…. It’s the outreach that’s important. You’ve got to have listening briefs,” Drewe said. “That’s the way we’ve developed the platform and will continue to do so.”
Going forward, new features created in-house for Adam Matthew Digital will also be integrated into Quartex.
“When we develop a feature now, we want that to sit in a suite of features that is available for use across the Quartex platform,” Drewe said. “So, whether that’s a certain type of data visualization or mapping tool [for example], the idea now is that when we publish something through our commercial collections, we’ll be adding to the suite of features that can then be used across any of our collections, but also will be made available to Quartex users.”
Throughout development, Adam Matthew Digital has focused on ease of use, both by library staff and end users, Drewe said. “It’s easy to get your content and metadata in…and create collections. It’s easy to style and configure and brand those and then publish. On the front end the flexibility around being able to publish or edit content, you can do that in minutes. You don’t have to go through an IT team."
Pricing is negotiated based on factors including Adam Matthew subscriptions and archive size (minimum of 100 gigabytes), as well as additional fees for OCR and HTR capabilities.

The SLNC Government & Heritage Library is pleased to announce the addition of two new digital collections to its subscription offerings: the Adam Matthew Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean primary source collections. These collections are available on site at the Government & Heritage Library or online from anywhere to users with an SLNC Government & Heritage Library card.
Adam Matthew is a SAGE Publishing Company that has worked with The National Archives, UK to make materials from the Colonial Office (CO) Files available online for education and scholarship. The SLNC Government & Heritage Library purchased the Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean collections, particularly for their relevance to the rich history of North Carolina. With the addition of these collections, we can provide access to more online materials that help to represent the diverse populations of North Carolina. In addition to providing access to thousands of historical records, both collections include introductory materials, essays, and videos created by experts to help provide users with invaluable context relevant for interpreting and making sense of historical records.
The Colonial America collection includes the complete Colonial Office (CO 5) files located at The National Archives, UK. This series covers the time frame between 1606 and 1822 with all 1,450 volumes digitized and made available online in the Colonial America database. The Colonial Caribbean collection includes records from the Colonial Office files related to British governance in the Caribbean spanning from 1624 to 1870 and offers researchers and users access to primary resources that demonstrate the impact of slavery in the region as well as on enslaved peoples. Search across both the Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean databases via the AMexplorer search box on the Adam Matthew Primary Sources for Teaching and Research landing page.
This purchase was made possible by funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (IMLS grant number LS-246155-OLS-20).
Have questions about the Adam Matthew resources or anything else? Contact library staff through online chat or give them a call, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, except for state holidays. Find SLNC Government & Heritage contact information at the link, slnc.info/GHL-Contact.

For the “Exploring Mobile Public History” activity, I explored the The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on my smartphone. The information and images presented on the website were viewable on the smartphone. The only drawbacks for viewing the site on the phone are the enlarged images and extended timeline information with images. On the phone, it is difficult to have a wide view of the images and timeline that are displayed across the screen on a computer or laptop. On the other hand, viewing the digital public history on the smartphone had some advantages. Based on the place-based or location-based techniques, the mobile site adhered to all three of the responsive approaches: how they want it, when they want it, and what they want. For visitors who are curious or unable to visit the museum in person, viewing the public history is accessible via the website. But, it is even more accessible for people who want to view it from their smartphones. The disadvantage will be for people who do not have cell phones or mobile devices. Also, if there is no WiFi, then there is no access. I was able to view the museum site on my phone while I was in an area that did not have desktop computers or laptops. Also, I was able to view the site while I was having lunch. As long as I had access to WiFi, I was able to view the site on my phone. By having access to the site via smartphone, laptop, or desktop, reflects that the site can be viewed with WiFi in different locations. Also, I could view the site when I wanted it. Instead of worrying about the Museum’s hours of operation, I could view the site whenever I wanted.
As for what I wanted, I was able to select different sections to view collections, timelines, shared memories, videos, and transcripts. Instead of reading about the history of the museum, I can jump to the next section and read about the assassination. I can also select Collections or The Legacy. If visitors at the museum do not have mobile devices or smartphones, the museum provides electronic devices for a voice driven tour. However, the mobile version does not provide a voice driven tour for visitors who want to use their own devices. The timeline presented in the “The Assassination” section closely resembles what is at the physical museum, so visitors get a similar experience. The images on the timeline are not viewable alongside the text when a specific part of the timeline is selected for closer viewing. The oral history in “The Collections Section” includes more transcripts than video recordings. The video recordings are linked to their YouTube Channel, and they are easily viewable on the smartphone. The audience engagement with the site is layered with different things. The Legacy section includes previously shared memories of the event, and there is a “Share Your Memories” tab to invite the audience to provide their stories during that time period or what they know about it.
The theory of history that The Sixth Floor Museum is putting forward is living history. Instead of teaching about the past in a single space, it engages the audience to trace the events leading up to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in a digital space. Also, The Sixth Floor Museum invites the audience to question what had happened and how the assassination of JFK is still thought provoking after so many years. The audience can envision the past while connecting with the present surroundings. For example, the site shows the physical spaces related to the tragic event from past and present. The audience can view the location of the assassination and where the sniper was positioned at the time. The site links to an Earthcam that allows the audience to view the Dealey Plaza from the sixth floor of the museum. The live camera shows cars, people, roads, buildings and other structures in today’s time. Placing the audience in the location of where the sniper was positioned during the assassination perfectly connects both digital and physical spaces together. Whether it is in physical or digital space, the The Sixth Floor Museum site engages the audience to think about history as living history.
Depending on the environment or space, the representation of a public history project may vary. Whether it is a physical or digital space, the same public history project will be interpreted differently. Also, the audience interacts with it differently when presented with various ways of engagement between the physical and digital sites. Each space is open for interpretations based on its rhetorical representation; it is constantly changing and transforming. For the comparative review of a physical and digital site, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas was selected.
The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame conveys the importance of recognizing the history and culture of cowgirls. The concept of the cowboy is a nostalgic and more commonly mentioned in American history. However, the concept of the cowgirl is almost forgotten or rarely mentioned in mainstream American history and culture. This museum demystifies the concept of the stand-alone cowboy and acknowledges the contributions of cowgirls. The outer space of the museum has two amazing statues placed in front of the museum. A bronze, life-size statue of a cowgirl with her horse stands on the left side of the museum. On the right side, there is a bronze, life-size statue of Sacagawea. Inside the museum, it has a circular design with a rotunda like ceiling. The environment is warm and inviting. It looks like a beautiful mansion with white floors and an impeccable interior design. There are two staircases on each side of the museum. The featured exhibit, “Pure Quills,” is on the far left corner of the first floor. The ongoing exhibit is on the right corner of the first floor and continues to the second floor. There is a video viewing room that is closest to the entrance door on the right; it features a short video of the museum’s collections and featured exhibit.
The audience for this museum varies. During my visit, I saw adult women and men touring the museum. This museum is also great for all ages and students.
The first floor of the museum features a circular layout. Because of the open and circular layout, visitors can start from different areas instead of one single flow of traffic. After viewing the video, the audience can enter the room next to it. On the right side of the wall, there is a bright red screen that asks the audience to touch the screen to begin. There are five different black and white photos of Annie Oakley, two Native Americans, a cowgirl march, Buffalo Bill, and an image of a cowgirl on a horse. After a photo is selected, the visitor steps into the brightly lit photo booth. After the photo is taken, a copy of the 3×5 photo is printed for free. There is also an option to send a digital photo via email or text. This activity is fun and interactive because it encourages visitors to learn more about the people and settings in the photos. If people were taking up too much time with the photo booth, the layout of the exhibit encourages the visitors to move to other locations in the exhibit that are also equally or more engaging such as the double-sided video screens hanging from the ceiling. Each side of the screen features videos taken during the time cowgirls were part of the Buffalo Bill Show.
The primary items that are used to communicate the interpretation of the museum are the collections of artifacts from well-known cowgirls such as Annie Oakley and Tad Lucas. These artifacts are displayed beautifully in separate glass cases for full 360 viewing. The circular navigation of the museum is very engaging and moves the visitors along. There are hologram videos that are built into the wall. It looks like a diorama that hangs on a wall, but in this case, it’s a digital diorama that speaks to the audience by looking directly at them during the speech. One of the dioramas features an image of Annie Oakley talking about teaching other females how to shoot rifles.
I did not see any docents or curators interacting with the public during my visit. However, the museum will provide a docent led tour for a group if scheduled ahead of time. The receptionist who was also the gift store representative was helpful. After I purchased my ticket, she handed a pink sticker and instructions.
The physical site of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is engaging and informative. This museum is a great treasure for the nation. I wish more people would visit the museum because I learned so much about the American West and history of cowgirls during my first visit. I hope to return soon with my friends and family. I would not change the physical exhibit because it is effective as is.
In addition to the physical site, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame also has a website. The “About” page includes a clear statement for the purpose of the museum: “The National National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame honors and celebrates women, past and present, whose lives exemplify the courage, resilience and independence that helped shape the American West, and fosters an appreciation of the ideals and spirit of self-reliance they inspire” (National Cowgirl Museum). From the featured images of cowgirls to the amazing logo, the design of the website clearly communicates its argument. The primary audience might be women because the website seems to show more images of women and their achievements. It also features a slideshow on its homepage of future events such as the artist Barabara Van Cleve’s “Pure Quill” exhibit, Cowgirl Spring Roundup, the luncheon for the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, and the Old Bags luncheon.
The website seems to target white/Caucasian women because most of the images in the homepage slideshow feature white women. It makes the assumption that the audience is mostly white women. However, if the audience takes a look at the honorees, there are also women of color who were inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame.
The layout of the website is easy to navigate and search. Each of the tabs has categories of interest. For example, the “Museum” tab has seven featured categories with sub-categories. There is an “Education” tab as well as the “Hall of Fame” tab. For the Hall of Fame, the audience can learn about each honoree and her achievements. There is also an image of the honoree. Similar to the physical site, the website allows the audience to begin their journey from different directions. There is no “Start Here” tab or page, which allows more freedom for the audience to navigate the website. Unfortunately, there is no Search area or button on the homepage to allow the audience to narrow their search.
The website offers brief information about the ongoing exhibits and featured exhibit. It also includes the “Hall of Fame” honorees information. The Education page features information for school tours, video conferencing, traveling trunk, and Girl Scout Patch Program. The Support page asks the audience to become members, to make donations, and to volunteer.
In contrast to the physical site, the website provides Education and Support opportunities that a physical site does not provide unless the audience request such information or reads the museum pamphlet. The featured artifacts in the digital space do not compare to the artifacts featured in the physical space. The images of the artifacts and photographs on the website do not have a title, description, or narrative.
For the audience interaction and engagement, the digital space allows the audience to search the list of honorees, view videos, and search the archives. However, the physical space allows more interaction and engagement with the audience. The website allows the audience to interact with the site’s creators and curators. By visiting the “Support” page and selecting “Volunteer, the audience may interact with different departments of the museum. This type of interaction is central to the sustainability of the museum because it engages the public and values their contributions.
For the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame website, there are a few things that can be changed to enhance the digital experience for the audience. They should add titles, descriptions, and narratives to the artifacts and photographs on the website. Instead of placing them all together on one web page like a collage, they should be categorized. Adding a search area on the home page would also be helpful. The social media platforms should not be placed at the bottom right-hand corner of the website. An interactive component to entice the audience to learn more about the museum and the history of cowgirls should be added to the home page. Adding another language such as Spanish would be great because the physical site acknowledges the cowgirls from the Hispanic culture. Adding a tab for cultural diversity in cowgirl history would be helpful to reach a wider audience. The physical site includes information and images of cowgirls from Native American and Hispanic American cultures. Despite these suggestions for changes to the digital space, the museum’s website presents the overall argument very well.
Overview:
The American Consumer Culture: Market Research & American Business, 1935-1965 database features many documents and ads related to well-known companies and brands during the specified time period. The interactive and visually appealing, digital collection is divided into “Documents” and “Ad Gallery.” The documents include market research reports, memorandums, proposals, and letters by Ernest Dichter, founder of The Institute for Motivational Research. The Ad Gallery includes images of printed advertisements from the iconic American companies that were related to Dichter’s works.
In addition to the general search browser, there are advanced search and popular searches. Also, there are tabs for certain categories for quicker access: Introduction, Documents, Industries, Chronology, Ad Gallery, Further Resources, and Help. If the user needs guidance to maneuver the database, in the lower, left corner of the home page, there is a “Not sure where to start?” button.
Facts:
The date range for the documents and images is 1935-1965. When searching the documents, the user can view the digitization of the original document. There is a tab for “original” view, and there is a tab for “Thumbnail” to magnify the view. After it is downloaded, the user can make notes on the document. However, a keyword search is not allowed on the document. The entire document can be downloaded as a pdf document. The user can also download the image by range or page by page.
For each selected document, the title, report number, date of publication, location of material, copyright, type of industry (e.g. automotive, broadcasting, food and drink, retail, etc.), company, brand, method of research, keywords, and language are listed. By simply clicking on the “Find out more about this year” hyperlink, an interactive timeline displays what was happening when each proposal, report, letter, or memorandum was made. The hyperlink for the business or company information is available by clicking on “Go to Business Biography.” Also, there is a hyperlink for “Go To Glossary” next to a list of keywords that is linked to the database’s Glossary.
For the “Ad Gallery,” the images can be downloaded. The title of the advertisement, date, image type (e.g. magazine), source, industry, company, brand, keywords, publication, and image details (e.g. color or black and white) are listed. Hyperlinks to the Glossary and Chronology/Timeline are not provided for the advertisement images.
Another useful and interesting feature is “My Archive.” The user can create a folder and save the searched items for further research. The “My Archive” option is located directly above the general search browser.
History:
Three “Participating Libraries” have contributed to the digital collection of the American Consumer Culture: Market Research & American Business, 1935-1965 database. “After closing his offices in the Croton-on-Hudson “Castle” in 1982, Dichter placed his library of research studies, publications and other writings with Mercy College, where he taught marketing. However, when Mercy College sought permission in 1990 to microfilm them and destroy the originals to save space, Dichter repossessed them. He was working with a dealer to sell them to another library but was unable to make satisfactory arrangements before his final illness. These materials, plus Dr. Dichter’s remaining business correspondence and notes, were removed to Hagley from Dichter’s last residence and office in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., in 2007” (Adam Matthew). Eventually, the Dichter family donated the documents to the Hagley Museum and Library. The American Consumer Culture database features the digital collection that was donated by the Hagley Museum and Library.
The advertisements for the “Ad Gallery” were donated by John W. Hartmen Center and The Advertising Archives. The John W. Hartmen Center is part of the Rubenstein Rare Books and Manuscript Library at Duke University. It “has provided a selection of valuable advertisements for our Ad Gallery feature, dating from the mid-1930s to 1950s” (Adam Matthew). The Advertising Archives is one of the largest advertising archives in Europe and founded by Larry Suzanne Viner in 1990. They donated advertisements from 1930s to 1960s.
Review:
According to Cheryl LaGuardia, Research Librarian for the Widener University at Harvard University, “This file delivers amply on the vendor’s claim that it “provides a unique insight into the world of buying, selling, and advertising in pre- and post-war America.” It does more than that, with sometimes chilling psychosocial analysis that will successfully serve researchers in the areas of psychology, history, business, marketing, advertising, consumerism, gender studies, ethnic and minority studies, communications, sociology, American studies, philosophy, terrorism, and politics. ”
Access:
Access is through the George Mason University database which requires an account. In the “Help” tab, there are five different categories. For example, there is a “Terms of Use” icon that can be viewed. Detailed information is found in Access and Terms of Use.
Publisher:
Adam Matthew Digital is known for publishing “unique primary source collections from archives around the world.” There are three participating libraries that have donated the resources for the digital collection.
Citing:
For each source, there is a Citation button in black and white. However, it can be exported only by RefWorks and EndNote. The user has the option to select three different citation styles. The MLA citation is not entirely correct, but it is good enough. Consult the updated MLA guidelines for proper citation by visiting the MLA or OWL Purdue MLA.
Other Information:
The database includes a great resource for educators and scholars. The “Teaching” category appears when the user selects the “Further Resources” button. There are images and exercises for the classroom. Also, there is a “Case Studies” category. The author, Stefan Schwarzkopf, explores key themes in the reports.

On Tuesday 30th January we’ll be holding a Discovery Day event in the Main Library where representatives from 3 publishers of digitised primary source collections and our very own Centre for Research Collections will be on hand to help you navigate through and find useful material in the huge range of primary sources you have access to at the Library. Adam Matthew are one of the publishers who will be attending and this blog post highlights the fantastic collections the Library has access to through them.
The Library has access to a large and broad range of digital primary source collections that can be accessed via the Primary Source database list (see also the separate lists for Newspapers & Magazines and Images & Moving Images).
Adam Matthew are a publisher who specialise in producing high-quality, digitised primary source collections online. They put together thematic collections sourced from libraries, archives, museums, etc., around the world and they have databases that cover the Medieval period onwards.
The Library is very lucky to have access to 11 of these collections (or databases) from Adam Matthew and all can be accessed via the Primary Source database list.
China: Culture and Society
If your interest is in China from the late 18th century to the early 20th century then this could be an incredibly useful resource for you. Most of the collection is made up of pamphlets from the Charles W. Wason Collection on East Asia housed at Cornell University Library. These rare pamphlets are mostly in English and often illustrated with fantastic cover art and amount to around 1,200 items in 220 bound volumes. In this resource you will find material such as addresses and speeches, annual reports, catalogues, guides and manuals, journals, lecture notes, letters, magazine articles, minutes of meetings and more.
Church Missionary Society Periodicals Module 1: Global Missions and Contemporary Encounters, 1804-2009
Now the Church Mission Society (and incorporating what were formerly the South American Missionary Society, the Mid-Africa Ministry and the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society), CMS was founded in 1799 with aims including social reform in England and world evangelisation. The first overseas mission was in Sierra Leone in 1804, but soon the societies were working in other African countries, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
Church Missionary Society Periodicals encompasses publications from the CMS, the CEZMS and the South American Missionary Society. Documenting missionary work from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, the periodicals include news, journals and reports offering a unique perspective on global history and cultural encounters. Forming a prominent feature of British religious philanthropy from the late eighteenth century onwards, missionary societies served as employer and community to missionaries far from home. Service came with considerable sacrifice and sometimes high risk, so society publications became crucial for keeping those at home in touch with the activities of the society and its individuals, as well as promoting and funding its work.
Eighteenth Century Journals
Eighteenth Century Journals is a fantastic resource for any students, researchers or academics focussing on the 18th century. Eighteenth Century Journals makes available digitally for the first time unique or extremely rare 18th century periodicals with the aim of promoting a truly broad representation of the culture of print journalism in the eighteenth century. While many of the titles were published in the UK there are some titles published in Europe, Canada, India and the Caribbean. The resource illuminates all aspects of eighteenth-century social, political and literary life. Topics covered are wide-ranging and include colonial life, provincial and rural affairs, the French and American revolutions, reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe, political debates, and London coffee house gossip and discussion.
The database is made up of 5 collections (or modules) and we have access to all 5. There are a huge number of titles available through Eighteenth Century Journals, too many to list individually, but a few examples are Cato’s Letters, The Female Tatler, Edinburgh Gazette, Dublin Chronicle, Bombay Courier, The Jamaica Mercury, The Nova Scotia Gazette; and the Weekly Chronicle, Manchester Herald, British Critic and the full run of The Lady’s Magazine.
Empire Online
Interested in the study of Empire, colonial history or global history? Empire Online spans 5 centuries worth of material including exploration journals and logs, correspondence, official government papers, missionary papers, travel writing, slave papers, memoirs, children’s adventure stories, marketing posters and much more. Empire Online charts the story of the rise and fall of empires; from the explorations of Columbus, Captain Cook, and others, right through to de-colonisation in the second half of the twentieth century and debates over American Imperialism. The focus is not solely on the British Empire it also includes resources which relate the story of the Empire from the French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German points of view, as well as that of indigenous peoples from Africa, India and North America.
Foreign Office Files for China 1938-1980
Foreign Office Files for China is available to us through Adam Matthew’s Archives Direct platform. You can currently access 4 of the collections from Foreign Office Files for China which cover the period 1938-1980. The collections are cross-searchable but individually cover:
1938-1948: Open Door, Japanese war and the seeds of communist victory
1949-1956: The Communist revolution
1957-1966: The Great Leap Forward
1967-1980: The Cultural Revolution
The collections consist of formerly restricted British government documents including domestic dispatches, correspondence, newspaper cuttings, maps, reports of court cases, biographies of leading personalities, summaries of events and more.
Mass Observation Online
Mass Observation Online is a fantastic resource if you are studying social history in the modern era. Particularly strong on the Second World War period the whole collection contains material from the late 1930s until the mid-1950s (with some material from the 1960s as well).
Mass Observation Online is the archive of the Mass Observation group which was formed in 1937 and were arguably quite ground-breaking in their research on ordinary people in their every day lives. As well as having a team of paid observers who went into a variety of public situations and recorded people’s behaviour and conversation in as much detail as possible, they also had a national panel of volunteer writers who were recruited to reply to regular questionnaires and tasks, including writing diaries. The database gives you access to these original manuscript and typescript papers, as well as printed publications, photographs and interactive features.
Medieval Family Life
Medieval Family Life contains the Paston, Stonor, Cely, Plumpton and Armburgh family papers, available digitally for the first time. These are the only major letter collections that exist from fifteenth century England and take you into the world of medieval family, business, relationships, trade, politics and community.
The Pastons were a gentry family and are probably the most well known, their collections of letters and associated manuscripts being the largest and most studied. The Celys were a merchant family, the Stonors were a well-established gentry family in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and the Plumptons were a dominant northern family. The Armburgh papers are the smallest collection but are a fascinating insight into a quarrel over a family inheritance.
A huge range of topics are covered in these letters from arranging advantageous marriages and inheritance, to estate management and financial dealings to women and their role within the family. As well as digital images of the original manuscripts you are also able to view transcriptions drawn from already published sources.
Migration to New Worlds, Module 1: The Century of Immigration
Migration to New Worlds explores the movement of peoples from Great Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe and Asia to the New World and Australasia. The Century of Immigration concentrates on the period 1800 to 1924, though there is material from pre-1800 available as well, and covers all aspects of the migration experience, from motives and departures to arrival and permanent settlement.
The collection presents a unique insight into the personal stories of migrants during this period. Letter collections, travel journals, diaries and oral histories provide a wealth of first-hand accounts for research into emigration experiences and the hardship of settlement. These are supplemented by scrapbooks, government papers, hand-drawn maps, watercolours, objects, emigration pamphlets, shipping papers and rare printed material which provide significant context to government legislation, commercial interests and living conditions for migrants during this period. The database now also includes the Convict Database that allows you to search and browse a transcribed list of convicts and former convicts sent to New South Wales between 1780-1819.
The Nixon Years, 1969-1974
The Nixon Years is available to us through Adam Matthew’s Archives Direct platform. This database provides complete FCO 7 and FCO 82 files from The National Archives, Kew, for the entire period of Richard Nixon’s presidency. It offers a different perspective and context from across the Atlantic allowing you to assess, from a British, European and Commonwealth perspective, Nixon’s handling of numerous Cold War crises, his administration’s notable achievements, and his increasingly controversial activities and unorthodox use of executive powers, which culminated in Watergate and resignation.
Perdita Manuscripts
The manuscripts available in this resource were written or compiled by women in the British Isles during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and they have been sourced from archives and libraries across the United Kingdom and the USA. Produced in association with the Perdita Project, “Perdita” means “lost women” and the quest of the Perdita Project was to find early modern women authors who were “lost” because their writing exists only in manuscript form. Adam Matthew selected over 230 of the entries from the Perdita Project to digitise for this resource.
Victorian Popular Culture
Victorian Popular Culture invites you into the darkened halls, small backrooms, big tops and travelling venues that hosted everything from spectacular shows and bawdy burlesque, to the world of magic, spiritualist séances, optical entertainments and the first moving pictures. Split into 4 modules, we have access to all 4, it covers Spiritualism, Sensation and Magic, Circuses, Sideshows and Freaks, Music Hall, Theatre and Popular Entertainment and Moving Pictures, Optical Entertainments (the Optical Toys in Action videos are fascinating) and the Advent of Cinema.
You can access all of these databases via the Primary Sources database list.
Access is only available to current students and members of staff at the University.
The other 2 publishers taking part in our Discovery Day on 30th January are Gale Cengage and ProQuest. Find out more about them at Spotlight on Gale digital primary sources and Spotlight on ProQuest digital primary sources. Look out in the future for similar post on our Centre for Research Collections.

Project
AM (formally Adam Matthew) create digitised primary sources for education – historical artefacts, documents or photos, in carefully curated collections. Using original primary sources gives students the freedom to think critically about history, rather than relying on existing interpretations. Their brand had never been seriously considered in their 30-year history, until now.
We started by interviewing across the business, not just senior management, to define the key goals of a rebrand. Their name Adam Matthew unhelpfully sounded like a person (there is no Adam Matthew) and multiple names were in use with little logic. Rapid company growth and increasing digital sophistication wasn’t coming across through an analogue-era brand.
We proposed changing the company name from Adam Matthew to AM. It removed the problem of ‘who’s Adam?’. It was extendable for sub-brands, which we also re-named with an AM prefix. And there were no negative associations, or famous brands called AM.
AM present amazing historical collections, expertly curated and in very high resolution. They go deeper and much more hands-on than their competitors.
The new AM logo reveals this content in the space between the A and M. The images are shown up close and focusing on a key area – like peeking into an archive box. The logo uses the strong triangular rhythm of the two letters and has a sense of interior space with two shades of yellow.
The brand uses a custom version of the font Klarheit by Extraset for headlines. It contains vertical cuts or shadows in certain letters that mirror the reveal effect used in imagery – so the brand comes through at every level.
Five sub-branded offerings had grown organically with no coherence. Each sub-brand offering now puts the emphasis on the master brand but adapts the colourway, to create one clear family. They are all combined into one website for the first time, organised in sections based on the customer’s needs – Discover, Learn and Create.

Each year, the Royal Historical Society aims to support around 200 UK-based early career researchers (of any nationality) with grant awards totalling just over £60,000. COVID-19 is having a major impact on the scholars we would normally fund. Here, RHS President Professor Margot Finn outlines the first of two new RHS schemes, launched today in response to COVID-19: a partnership with Adam Matthew Digital offering free and full access for 12 months to the publisher’s digital collections of primary sources for 200 early career historians.
Early Career Historians and COVID-19
Four times each year, members of the Royal Historical Society’s Research Support Committee receive applications from early career researchers (ECRs) for funding to undertake research in UK or international archives, libraries and museums. As a veteran of the Research Support Committee – which I served on when first elected as a Council member over a decade ago and more recently chaired as a Vice President of the Society – I can attest to the high quality of these applications. The ability to travel to collections in person plays a vital role in developing not only ECR historians’ research but also their language skills, intellectual and social networks and inter-cultural understanding. In addition, the RHS Research Support Committee also funds conference organisation and attendance within and beyond the UK for the next generation of historians.
Of course, we spend our funds supporting History ECRs in other ways as well: our article and book prizes, our New Historical Perspectives open access book series and our Marshall and Centenary Fellowships represent a substantial investment of time, labour and money. These schemes can, and will, continue largely unchanged, coronavirus notwithstanding.
But although the RHS has kept our existing Research Grant funding schemes open during the pandemic, it’s obvious that travel and public health restrictions will be preventing a substantial volume of essential research in the ECR History community. In this context, we’ve mobilised to identify alternative means of supporting historians during the lockdown and in the uncertain period that is sure to follow its eventual relaxation. The last thing we would want to do would be to encourage ECRs to undertake research in archives and collections while it is unsafe to do so. At the same time, as historians and both PhD and postdoctoral supervisors ourselves, we all understand how frustrating and anxiety-producing it is to be denied access to one’s sources.
A Partnership with Adam Matthew Digital
In this context, in partnership with Adam Matthew Digital (AM), I’m delighted to be able to offer free-of-charge access for 200 ECRs to the online manuscript, printed and visual primary source collections from the publisher. Staff at Adam Matthew responded both very speedily and very generously to my initial query in April 2020 as to whether the RHS might re-channel some of the Research Support Committee’s labour toward identifying ECRs whose research would benefit from full access to the AM collections. The 200 twelve-month subscriptions Adam Matthew has kindly allocated to the RHS include not only the 8 million+ pages of primary source material in the Research Source Platform, but also over 70 thematic collections made available through 2019.
These subscriptions (unlike AM’s 3-month trial subscriptions) will include the ability to download materials for your own research use. We’re confident that access to these resources will allow many History ECRs to make significant progress on their PhDs and early postdoctoral research, within the obvious limitations of life under COVID-19.
You’ll find full information about eligibility for this new RHS emergency scheme and detailed instructions on how to apply as well as selection criteria and processes on the RHS website. A key part of the information you will need to provide in any application is a description of how the available Adam Matthew collections will advance your research. Highest priority will be given to researchers who lack access to the AM materials but for whom one or more of the collections offer(s) a significant enhancement to research potential in the next year, regardless of the travel and social distancing restrictions we may all be living under.
Virtual Archives
Many of the materials AM offer in digital form come from archives and libraries to which ECRs we fund with Research Grants would routinely travel. If you are eligible to apply and decide to investigate the Adam Matthew collections, you’ll find that local, national and international archives and libraries are well represented. In the UK, these include—to name just a few—the Birmingham University Library, the Bodleian, the British Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Edinburgh University Library, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies (London), the John Rylands Library, the National Library of Scotland, the National Library of Wales, the SOAS Library and The National Archives (Kew). Outside the UK, materials come from (for example) the National Library of New Zealand, the State Archives of New South Wales and the State Library of New South Wales. US collections feature prominently as well, including the Folger Shakespeare Library and university libraries at Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Indiana, Princeton, Rutgers and Yale.
Topics included in the Adam Matthew collections range from medieval to twentieth-century history, with areas of strength including—but not limited to—Britain and the empire, China and East Asia, diplomacy and warfare, industry and trade (including global commerce and exploration), medical histories (including women and medicine), missionary histories (including Africa, India and the West Indies) and material on histories of race, slavery and abolition.
Latin America, East Africa, colonial America, Japan and Europe during the Black Death were all topics that surfaced when I surfed the collections. So too did Spanish history writing about the New World, women’s suffrage in Britain and medieval travel writing. The last mentioned of these modules draws its sources from over 25 archives and libraries, including the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (Yale University), the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Bibliothèques/Mediathèques de Metz, Durham University Library, Glasgow University Library, the Herzog August Bibliothek (Wolfenbüttel), Lambeth Palace Library and Trinity College (Dublin).
We know that not all UK-based ECRs in History are in a financial, institutional or psychological position at the moment to concentrate on research. The Royal Historical Society is also launching a new Hardship Fund for early career historians, designed to help mitigate that very challenging COVID-19 context. The Council and Officers of the RHS do hope, however, that access to these new, free subscriptions to the Adam Matthew collections will assist a cohort of 200 History ECRs to advance their work from home during these unprecedented times of pandemic.

Members of the University of Notre Dame Community have access to millions of pages of primary source materials through the Adam Matthew Digital Collection (AM Explorer).
AM Explorer has published primary sources for teaching and research since 1990. The database spans the 15th - 21st Centuries, covering the sciences and humanities. It allows users to access millions of pages of primary source materials and collections gathered and developed in collaboration with archives and libraries worldwide.
The digital collections broach diverse themes such as borders and migrations, gender and sexuality, global history and war and conflict. The content includes photos, video, handwritten text recognition, data visualization and oral histories.
âGaining access to these Adam Matthew databases greatly expands our researchers' access to primary source materials,â said Mark Robison, interim program leader of Collection Strategy and Acquisitions and political science and peace studies librarian at the Hesburgh Libraries. âThe AM Explorer databases are organized into neat, thematic collections, which helps researchers quickly identify materials that might be useful to their projects.â
While the Hesburgh Libraries previously owned a small portion of the collections within the database, AM Explorer features plenty of new resources that Robison thinks will help ND students or faculty members conducting historical research. Through AM Explorer, users can find a range of historical documents, including firsthand accounts of US soldiers who served in World War II, records from the British Foreign Office, the archives of Amnesty International, scripts from the early days of American radio broadcasts and more.
âAdam Matthew's primary source collections are exceptionally user-friendly because of how clearly they are organized,â said Robison. âFor example, the Colonial Caribbean collection includes thousands of records documenting the first two centuries of British colonial rule in the Caribbean. Users can easily filter the results by document type (e.g., Diaries, Maps, Public Notices), subject (e.g., Religion, Law & Governance), or specific colony. Each of the AM collections is similarly well organized and cataloged to maximize discoverability.â
Full access to AM Explorer is a pilot. The librarians at the Hesburgh Libraries need faculty, student and staff usage statistics to inform acquisition decisions.
Unlike a typical database acquisition, access to the entirety of the AM Explorer collection is only temporary. At the end of this year, the collections strategy librarians will study how researchers use the database to determine which collections have been accessed, downloaded, and searched most frequently and then permanently purchase two or three of the most used collections.
âThese digitized collections include sources that can't be found anywhere else online and would otherwise require a special trip to a faraway archive to view,â he said. âAnyone conducting a project related to social, political, religious, economic, colonial, military, or literary history should take a look at what AM Explorer offers!â
Members of the Notre Dame community looking to use AM Explorer can do so from anywhere worldwide by visiting the Hesburgh Libraries databases and searching AM Explorer. Visitors to campus and members of the public may also access it and other library e-resources using the libraryâs guest computers located on the first floor of the Hesburgh Library.

The SLNC Government & Heritage Library is pleased to announce the addition of two new digital collections to its subscription offerings: the Adam Matthew Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean primary source collections. These collections are available on site at the Government & Heritage Library or online from anywhere to users with an SLNC Government & Heritage Library card.
Adam Matthew is a SAGE Publishing Company that has worked with The National Archives, UK to make materials from the Colonial Office (CO) Files available online for education and scholarship. The SLNC Government & Heritage Library purchased the Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean collections, particularly for their relevance to the rich history of North Carolina. With the addition of these collections, we can provide access to more online materials that help to represent the diverse populations of North Carolina. In addition to providing access to thousands of historical records, both collections include introductory materials, essays, and videos created by experts to help provide users with invaluable context relevant for interpreting and making sense of historical records.
The Colonial America collection includes the complete Colonial Office (CO 5) files located at The National Archives, UK. This series covers the time frame between 1606 and 1822 with all 1,450 volumes digitized and made available online in the Colonial America database. The Colonial Caribbean collection includes records from the Colonial Office files related to British governance in the Caribbean spanning from 1624 to 1870 and offers researchers and users access to primary resources that demonstrate the impact of slavery in the region as well as on enslaved peoples. Search across both the Colonial America and Colonial Caribbean databases via the AMexplorer search box on the Adam Matthew Primary Sources for Teaching and Research landing page.
This purchase was made possible by funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (IMLS grant number LS-246155-OLS-20).
Have questions about the Adam Matthew resources or anything else? Contact library staff through online chat or give them a call, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, except for state holidays. Find SLNC Government & Heritage contact information at the link, slnc.info/GHL-Contact.

Remote access to primary source content continues to be a vital component for research at the University of Kentucky and at other institutions across the globe. To meet researchers’ needs, UK Libraries is offering access to 65 additional primary source collections from the award-winning publisher Adam Matthew Digital.
Library users with a linkblue ID now have perpetual access to all Adam Matthew digital content published through 2016, including collections such as Colonial America, American West, American Indian Histories and Cultures, Slavery, Abolition and Social Justice, Jewish Life in America and Popular Culture in Great Britain and America. This acquisition was made possible through a partnership between the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL), of which UK Libraries is a member, and Adam Matthew Digital.
“UK Libraries has a long history of partnering with other institutions to preserve and enhance access to scholarly collections,” said Doug Way, dean of UK Libraries. “This partnership with ASERL and Adam Matthew Digital demonstrates the value of these relationships, allowing us to make scores of primary source collections available to our campus for teaching, learning and research.”
Working with other ASERL libraries to reach a collective spend goal, UK Libraries was able to purchase access to an estimated $2 million in additional primary content for a fraction of the cost.
“ASERL is thrilled our member libraries were able to make these investments that unlocked a wonderful trove of content,” said Jan Lewis, director of Academic Library Services at East Carolina University and president of ASERL’s Board of Directors for 2020-2021. “The past year has been so challenging for so many libraries in so many ways — it’s really wonderful ASERL libraries are able to receive this membership benefit to boost their collections.”
“We’re very pleased to engage in progressive partnerships that widen access to our products, and enable a much larger community to access important teaching and research content during these challenging times,” added Adam Matthew Digital managing director Khal Rudin.
Users can access all 65 collections through UK Libraries’ new A-Z Database list by either searching for a specific topic or browsing through new and popular databases on the righthand side of the page. To see a list of titles of all the new acquisitions, visit the UK Libraries website at: https://libraries.uky.edu/newsitem.php?lnote_id=1069.
An independent subsidiary within the SAGE group, Adam Matthew is a digital publisher of unique primary source collections from libraries and archives around the world. The company offers award-winning digital products enhanced through innovations in technology, creativity and collaborative partnerships.
The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) is comprised of 37 research libraries in the southeastern region of the United States. ASERL’s mission is to provide and maintain “top quality resources and services to students, faculty and citizens of their respective communities.”

Syracuse University Libraries recently selected Quartex as its new platform for in-house digital collections. Quartex, designed by Adam Matthew Digital, is a flexible and responsive hosted digital asset management platform with extensive front-end capabilities that enables organizations to showcase, share and celebrate their archival materials with a global community of users. Déirdre Joyce, head of the Libraries’ Digital Library Program, led a comprehensive review of digital collection platforms before the Libraries chose Quartex. With Quartex, the Libraries will provide a more user-friendly system for students and scholars to use their’ unique digital materials. The first collections published will likely include materials from the Special Collections Research Center’s (SCRC) Plastics Collection Area, Glass Plate Negatives from the University Archives, and selections from various holdings related to Central New York social reformer and abolitionist, Gerrit Smith. Users may expect to see digital collections on the new platform by fall 2021, with a projected completion date by 2023.
Syracuse University Libraries has an established relationship with Adam Matthew Digital and, along with utilizing the Quartex digital collections platform, acquired most Adam Matthew published primary resource collections in 2020, adding a significant amount of interdisciplinary content for the Syracuse community.
“Adoption of this new platform will make it easier for Syracuse students and faculty to use our important collections in their courses and research,” said Déirdre Joyce. “In addition, we are working with the Quartex team to take advantage of innovative enhancements to their product, including greater platform accessibility, integration with third-party media players, expanding capabilities in the creation and use of transcript files for handwritten and audio-visual assets, and other practices that will enhance our digital stewardship work.”
The Libraries needed a system with an intuitive user interface, powerful tools to build and publish collection sites, and a platform that could host their diverse and complex multi-format digital objects. Using Quartex, their Digital Collections will become more discoverable and searchable thanks to improved metadata, Handwritten Text Recognition technology, and full-text searching of audio-video transcription files. The Handwritten Text Recognition functionality improves searchability of content using algorithms and artificial intelligence, marking a significant upgrade in user experience. Finally, Quartex will offer additional, multiple entry points into the world-class special collections and archival content held by SCRC – along with other locally-curated digital materials – that enhance teaching and learning.

What is happening to the URL linking syntax of Adam Matthew Digital databases?
The provider Adam Matthew Digital updated their linking to HTTP secure (HTTPS) for all of their databases.
We will be gradually changing the database and title-level linking for databases under provider Adam Matthew Digital (provider code: PRVDHG) from HTTP to HTTPS in the Knowledgebase starting on September 21, 2022. Aside from regular updates based on Adam Matthew Digital title lists, the content of the Adam Matthew Digital databases will remain the same.
The 360 KB URL changes for databases under provider Adam Matthew Digital (provider code: PRVDHG) are estimated to be completed by the end of 2022, but please keep in mind that, for consortia-specific databases, we rely on consortia to send updated title lists on various schedules, so these updates may take longer.

The Deal Also Includes Free Access for K-12 Schools in the School District of Philadelphia
Adam Matthew Digital (AM Digital) is pleased to announce a new access deal with the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium Inc. (PALCI), providing all 70 member institutions with access to the publisher’s range of primary source collections published through the end of 2018. From American History, 1493-1945 to Gender: Identity and Social Change, and Age of Exploration to Victorian Popular Culture, all 70 participating institutions will now gain full access to nearly 100 individual products and millions of pages of primary source content.
With this new agreement, all members of the PALCI consortium will receive unlimited ongoing access to the portfolio of collections, as well as access to training tools and additional user support. Alison Bradley, Director, Strategic Initiatives at PALCI, said of the deal: “At PALCI, we highly value the role our consortium plays in sharing resources across our diverse community of libraries. This partnership offered us a unique opportunity to leverage our individual members’ previous investments in AM Digital collections, and bring in new participation from others, opening up access to this distinctive collection of valuable primary source resources for faculty and students at every one of our 70 member libraries.”
An additional feature of the deal, championed by the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, one of PALCI’s members, sees the deal extended to all K-12 schools in the School District of Philadelphia, providing access to digital primary sources at no cost to the K-12 schools themselves. The deal allows teachers across all age ranges and subject areas to integrate primary sources into their students’ course of study. In an age of social media and fake news, primary source analysis has become a vital skill, and the availability of this collection will positively impact these schools for years to come.
The University of Pennsylvania Libraries’ Associate Vice Provost for Collections & Scholarly Communications Brigitte Weinsteiger, a member of PALCI’s Collections Advisory Council, had previously invested in purchasing the AM Digital collections for the University of Pennsylvania faculty, staff and students, and served as a strong advocate in bringing these valuable materials to all other PALCI members and the School District of Philadelphia. "I'm delighted that PALCI and AM Digital were able to reach an agreement that brings rich primary source collections, in a convenient, searchable digital format, to enhance student learning and fuel faculty research at the many diverse institutions across the consortium."
Ben Cartwright, Executive Director, North American Sales at AM Digital: “We’re proud to share the news of this landmark deal with the PALCI consortium which covers nearly 100 individual AM Digital products. Recent events have shown us all the value of providing high-quality digital content and the real impact it can have in supporting both in-person and e-learning across all ages and levels. We are especially excited about the positive impact this deal will have on students across Philadelphia-area K-12 schools. The study of history and the social sciences provides so many important life skills – particularly around critical thinking which is ever-more important in the social media age. Skills we hope many will continue to build throughout their college careers and beyond.”
Over the coming months, the Sales and Outreach teams at AM Digital will work with PALCI member institutions and k-12 educators to help them make the most of their access and effectively integrate into their teaching.

In order to provide access to resources that use https, your EZproxy server must be configured with an SSL certificate.
You may remove HJ lines for the URLs of resources to which you do not subscribe; however, leaving them in the stanza will do no harm.
Access to any collection must begin at the collection URL, so you must construct starting point URLs to the individual resources. For example, to send users to Empire Online, use a starting point URL similar to the following:
http://ezproxy.abclib.org/login?url=http://www.empire.amdigital.co.uk

APRIL 8, 2021 — The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) and Adam Matthew Digital are pleased to announce a successful partnership that has resulted in ASERL libraries gaining perpetual access to all Adam Matthew Digital content published through 2016. The cache of content now available to ASERL institutions includes 77 collections from the award-winning publisher such as Colonial America, American History, American Indian Histories and Cultures, Global Commodities, Slavery, Abolition and Social Justice, and Popular Culture in Britain and America.
Working as a group to reach a collective spend goal, ASERL libraries are celebrating the additional, unprecedented level of access to essential primary source content from Adam Matthew Digital. Access to primary source content is particularly vital in the current moment when physical archives are restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This partnership supports ASERL’s mission of “providing and maintaining top quality resources and services to students, faculty, and citizens of their respective communities.”
“ASERL is thrilled our member libraries were able to make these investments that unlocked a wonderful trove of content,” commented Jan Lewis, Director of Academic Library Services at East Carolina University and President of ASERL’s Board of Directors for 2020-2021. “The past year has been so challenging for so many libraries in so many ways – it’s really wonderful ASERL libraries are able to receive this membership benefit to boost their collections.”
“We’re very pleased to engage in progressive partnerships that widen access to our products, and enable a much larger community to access important teaching and research content during these challenging times,” commented Khal Rudin, Managing Director at Adam Matthew Digital. “Our teams are now looking forward to working with ASERL institutions to celebrate this agreement and to share information about the vast range of material available, and to offer support and guidance to ensure good visibility and engagement across their community.”

Reviewed by: Erin Gallagher, Director of Collection Services, Reed College Library, gallaghere@reed.edu
Name of the Database: Age of Exploration
Name of the Vendor: Adam Matthew Digital
URL: http://www.exploration.amdigital.co.uk/
Purchase Model: One-time purchase plus annual or bundled one-time hosting fees
Cost/FTE: Pricing is a one-time purchase along with annual or one-time bundled hosting fees. They offer several different price tiers based on Carnegie classification and FTE, and they offer a liberal arts pricing model.
Type of Database: Aggregator, Primary Source
Audience: Undergraduate, Graduate, Specialized
Library Type: Academic
What is included? Images, Audio, Video, Books, Manuscripts, early printed material, maps, journals, biographies, diaries, ship’s logs, letters, essays, and other primary source documents.
Comments: What a treat it is to explore the wealth of rare content in this collection! Students and faculty in higher education with an interest in the history of exploration spanning five decades between 1420 and 1920 will undoubtedly find value in this collection.
Pros: Brilliant image quality. Content can be found through a variety of portals: basic and advanced searching, thematic collections, image/video/audio galleries, etc. Collection contains rare primary source documentation not digitally accessible elsewhere. VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) report provided. Users can create personal accounts through “My Archive” where they can save searches and documents to refer to later. Excellent post-sales support, such as free MARC records for all Adam Matthew collections and curricular alignment services.
Cons: The collection is very targeted, and though it contains content that holds interdisciplinary value, the primary audience will be narrow. Will be of most use if intentionally paired with undergraduate courses on the history of exploration. The site’s landing page displays a large amount of “white space” on the perimeter and could use an update. Users are unable to download pdfs during trial periods.

In order to provide access to resources that use https, your EZproxy server must be configured with an SSL certificate.
You may remove HJ lines for the URLs of resources to which you do not subscribe; however, leaving them in the stanza will do no harm.
Access to any collection must begin at the collection URL, so you must construct starting point URLs to the individual resources. For example, to send users to Empire Online, use a starting point URL similar to the following:
http://ezproxy.abclib.org/login?url=http://www.empire.amdigital.co.uk

Featured post from 2022 DLF Forum sponsor, Quartex by Adam Matthew Digital. Learn more about this year’s sponsors on the Forum website.
At this year’s DLF Forum, learn how you can deliver multiple initiatives with just one digital collections platform – Quartex, from primary source publisher Adam Matthew Digital.
We know return on investment often determines budget and resource allocation. One of the ways in which our flexible and scalable solution achieves this is by accommodating multiple projects, whether delivered in-house or through external collaborations.
Syracuse University (SU) Libraries adopted Quartex with its core digital collections in mind but quickly realised it could achieve much more. In collaboration with its long term partner, the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), the libraries created a separate digital collections site as a repository for the IVMF’s content. Hear from SU visiting librarian Grace Swinnerton at session M3: Developing Students’ Digital Scholarship Skills at this year’s DLF Forum.
And SU isn’t stopping there. Neither are the Peabody Essex Museum, MA, or Harris County Public Library, TX. Both have built multiple collections sites using Quartex, for internal purposes or to showcase discrete collections of digitised content.
In doing so, these institutions have created efficiencies and engaged new audiences. More crucially, they’re delivering greater return on investment than they originally expected.
Visit our team in-person at the DLF Forum to talk through your digital initiatives – you’ll find us at the Quartex booth in the Maryland Foyer. We look forward to sharing Quartex with you and answering your questions.

Explore five centuries of journeys across the globe, scientific discoveries, the expansion of European colonialism, conflict over territories and trade routes and decades-long search and rescue attempts in this multi-archive collection dedicated to the history of exploration.
The stories of American military personnel and civilians during the Second World War through their oral histories, correspondence, diaries, photographs, artefacts and military records. This digital resource offers an insight into the personal experiences of those involved in the conflict, both on the United States home front and on deployment overseas in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, China, Burma and India.
Comprised of original manuscripts, rare printed books, maps and ephemeral material from the Everett D Graff Collection of Western Americana at the Newberry Library in Chicago, American West is a source for the study of westward US expansion from the 18th to the 20th century. Including documents from 1718-1968, it has tales of frontier life, Native Americans, vigilantes and outlaws, as well as evidence of the growth of urban centres, the environmental impact of westward expansion and life in the borderlands.
Explore the rise of the global human rights movement during the second half of the twentieth century through the International Secretariat records of Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Amnesty International.
A range of important sources from Britain and America, covering key subjects within this field including a complete run of The Stock Exchange Official Year-Book for 1875-1945.
Official British government records relating to the region, from the decline of the Silk Road, through the diplomatic confrontation between the British and Russian Empires known as the “Great Game”, to the influence of the emergent Soviet Union in the 20th century.
A collection of rare books, games, ephemera and artwork from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that reveals the socio-cultural history of these times. Showcasing innovative new publishing methods characteristic of the golden age of children’s literature, from mass-produced chapbooks to richly illustrated ‘book-beautifuls’, this resource examines the way in which new concepts were introduced to young readers, encouraging an engagement with the imagination which went on to fundamentally shape established notions of childhood.
Covering the 18th and 19th centuries, China, America and the Pacific provides primary source materials for the study of the history of North American trade and cultural exchange with China. This collection also provides coverage of China’s and the United States' economic dealings with the whole of East Asia and the Pacific.

Researchers may request text mining access to content from most Gale Primary Sources. These are delivered to the Library as XML and PDF files. The Library has acquired the collections listed below. Contact us about others.
Note: the Financial Times will not license their historical archive for text mining at this time
Readex has introduced a new tool called Readex Text Explorer, which allows online text analysis using Voyant within selected Readex databases. This is currently only available in our Foreign Broadcast Information Service database (FBIS). Connect to FBIS and select Text Explorer in the menu bar to use this tool.
The Text Creation Partnership is a joint effort to transcribe historical texts from three major databases
Early English Books Online (published by ProQuest)
Eighteenth Century Collections Online (published by Gale Cengage)
Evans Early American Imprints (published by the Readex division of Newsbank
The Library subscribes to the full versions of these databases which provide page images but not easy access to machine readable text. The TCP has made that available for researchers to download for selected titles from two of these databases.

Academic publisher based in the United Kingdom and the United States
Adam Matthew Digital is an academic publisher based in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has been an independent subsidiary of SAGE Publications since 2012.[1]
The company specializes in online primary source databases and curated collections for the humanities and social sciences.[2] Its corporate offices are in Marlborough, Wiltshire.[3]
History
[edit]
Adam Matthew Publications was founded in 1990 by David Tyler and William Pidduck.[4] The company focused on publishing microfilm collections with a back list of over 600 titles until publishing their first ‘digital’ collections in the late 1990s on CD-ROM, and releasing its first truly online resources in the early 2000s.[5] By the mid-2000s, the company directors – now including Khal Rudin – founded Adam Matthew Digital to focus solely on the development and production of digital collections, and began trading as a separate entity from 1 January 2007.[6] On 5 October 2012, the company was acquired by SAGE Publications.[7]
Collections
[edit]
The company publishes collections of digitized primary source materials from different historical eras.[8] For example, Empire Online covers the histories of colonial era United States, Canada, India, Australia, South Africa, and Britain.[9] Other collection topics include gender studies, American history and consumer culture, Victorian England, Asian history, the First World War, and others.[10]
Collaborations
[edit]
Adam Matthew have collaborated with various source archives and institutions including the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, Newberry Library and The National Archives (United Kingdom). An explanation of their relationship with The National Archives (United Kingdom) has been recorded in a short video [11] which covers the process of selection, preservation and digitisation of materials required to produce resources on topics such as Apartheid South Africa, Confidential Print: Middle East and The Nixon Years.[12]
In January 2016, Adam Matthew partnered with Jisc to provide all UK Higher and Further Education institutions with access to their nineteenth century collection on global immigration, Migration to New Worlds. To gain permanent access without payment, UK institutions can register with Jisc to receive access details for their entire staff and students.[13]
In 2013, the company entered into an agreement with the Texas State Libraries and Archives Commission (TSLAC) to provide permanent access to two Adam Matthew digital collections via the TexShare consortium.[14] The agreement was terminated in 2018.[citation needed]

Each year, the Royal Historical Society aims to support around 200 UK-based early career researchers (of any nationality) with grant awards totalling just over £60,000. COVID-19 is having a major impact on the scholars we would normally fund. Here, RHS President Professor Margot Finn outlines the first of two new RHS schemes, launched today in response to COVID-19: a partnership with Adam Matthew Digital offering free and full access for 12 months to the publisher’s digital collections of primary sources for 200 early career historians.
Early Career Historians and COVID-19
Four times each year, members of the Royal Historical Society’s Research Support Committee receive applications from early career researchers (ECRs) for funding to undertake research in UK or international archives, libraries and museums. As a veteran of the Research Support Committee – which I served on when first elected as a Council member over a decade ago and more recently chaired as a Vice President of the Society – I can attest to the high quality of these applications. The ability to travel to collections in person plays a vital role in developing not only ECR historians’ research but also their language skills, intellectual and social networks and inter-cultural understanding. In addition, the RHS Research Support Committee also funds conference organisation and attendance within and beyond the UK for the next generation of historians.
Of course, we spend our funds supporting History ECRs in other ways as well: our article and book prizes, our New Historical Perspectives open access book series and our Marshall and Centenary Fellowships represent a substantial investment of time, labour and money. These schemes can, and will, continue largely unchanged, coronavirus notwithstanding.
But although the RHS has kept our existing Research Grant funding schemes open during the pandemic, it’s obvious that travel and public health restrictions will be preventing a substantial volume of essential research in the ECR History community. In this context, we’ve mobilised to identify alternative means of supporting historians during the lockdown and in the uncertain period that is sure to follow its eventual relaxation. The last thing we would want to do would be to encourage ECRs to undertake research in archives and collections while it is unsafe to do so. At the same time, as historians and both PhD and postdoctoral supervisors ourselves, we all understand how frustrating and anxiety-producing it is to be denied access to one’s sources.
A Partnership with Adam Matthew Digital
In this context, in partnership with Adam Matthew Digital (AM), I’m delighted to be able to offer free-of-charge access for 200 ECRs to the online manuscript, printed and visual primary source collections from the publisher. Staff at Adam Matthew responded both very speedily and very generously to my initial query in April 2020 as to whether the RHS might re-channel some of the Research Support Committee’s labour toward identifying ECRs whose research would benefit from full access to the AM collections. The 200 twelve-month subscriptions Adam Matthew has kindly allocated to the RHS include not only the 8 million+ pages of primary source material in the Research Source Platform, but also over 70 thematic collections made available through 2019.
These subscriptions (unlike AM’s 3-month trial subscriptions) will include the ability to download materials for your own research use. We’re confident that access to these resources will allow many History ECRs to make significant progress on their PhDs and early postdoctoral research, within the obvious limitations of life under COVID-19.
You’ll find full information about eligibility for this new RHS emergency scheme and detailed instructions on how to apply as well as selection criteria and processes on the RHS website. A key part of the information you will need to provide in any application is a description of how the available Adam Matthew collections will advance your research. Highest priority will be given to researchers who lack access to the AM materials but for whom one or more of the collections offer(s) a significant enhancement to research potential in the next year, regardless of the travel and social distancing restrictions we may all be living under.
Virtual Archives
Many of the materials AM offer in digital form come from archives and libraries to which ECRs we fund with Research Grants would routinely travel. If you are eligible to apply and decide to investigate the Adam Matthew collections, you’ll find that local, national and international archives and libraries are well represented. In the UK, these include—to name just a few—the Birmingham University Library, the Bodleian, the British Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Edinburgh University Library, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies (London), the John Rylands Library, the National Library of Scotland, the National Library of Wales, the SOAS Library and The National Archives (Kew). Outside the UK, materials come from (for example) the National Library of New Zealand, the State Archives of New South Wales and the State Library of New South Wales. US collections feature prominently as well, including the Folger Shakespeare Library and university libraries at Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Indiana, Princeton, Rutgers and Yale.
Topics included in the Adam Matthew collections range from medieval to twentieth-century history, with areas of strength including—but not limited to—Britain and the empire, China and East Asia, diplomacy and warfare, industry and trade (including global commerce and exploration), medical histories (including women and medicine), missionary histories (including Africa, India and the West Indies) and material on histories of race, slavery and abolition.
Latin America, East Africa, colonial America, Japan and Europe during the Black Death were all topics that surfaced when I surfed the collections. So too did Spanish history writing about the New World, women’s suffrage in Britain and medieval travel writing. The last mentioned of these modules draws its sources from over 25 archives and libraries, including the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (Yale University), the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Bibliothèques/Mediathèques de Metz, Durham University Library, Glasgow University Library, the Herzog August Bibliothek (Wolfenbüttel), Lambeth Palace Library and Trinity College (Dublin).
We know that not all UK-based ECRs in History are in a financial, institutional or psychological position at the moment to concentrate on research. The Royal Historical Society is also launching a new Hardship Fund for early career historians, designed to help mitigate that very challenging COVID-19 context. The Council and Officers of the RHS do hope, however, that access to these new, free subscriptions to the Adam Matthew collections will assist a cohort of 200 History ECRs to advance their work from home during these unprecedented times of pandemic.
