Historical Virginia Tech

Photograph of Barracks No. 1, the first dormitory on campus (now Lane Hall)

This exhibit was originally created in 1997 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Virginia Tech.

We are in the process of migrating the individual parts of this exhibit from the previous platform and not all materials are currently accessible here. In the interim, you can view the entirety of the exhibit through the Wayback Machine: https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20170907203930/https://spec.lib.vt.edu/archives/125th/.
