Below, you can find PDF lists of the catalogs, yearbooks, and VSU Gazettes held in special collections and university archives.
Catalogs: Catalogs contain a wide array of information. They include courses offered, descriptions of degree programs, rules and regulations of the school, and the earlier catalogs also include lists of current (at the time) students and staff, as well as alumni.
Gazettes: An early school newspaper.
Yearbooks: VSU began publishing yearbooks in 1946. If we do not have a specific year, it is because there was no yearbook published that year to our knowledge.
