About the UVA Library: When the University of Virginia was founded in 1819, a library – instead of a chapel – was placed at its center. By today’s standards, this seems common practice. But at a time when universities were structured around the church, this was radical. Today, the University of Virginia’s 12 libraries remain central in its mission to advance human knowledge, educate leaders and cultivate an informed citizenry. Inspired by the collecting policies of the Library of Congress – which emphasizes all subjects are important to leadership of the country – the UVA Library collects, preserves, organizes, and shares materials of all varieties, providing unfettered access to an accumulation of knowledge, two centuries in the making. The Library is the host institution for Social Networks and Archival Context Cooperative, as well as Virginia Heritage, the union catalog of archival resources held by repositories throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
