WCU Digital Collections

Both Undergraduate (beginning in 1871) and Graduate (beginning in 1959) Course Catalogs have been digitized and are available through internet archive.

Using the navigation on the left choose either undergraduate or graduate catalogs, then choose the box with the appropriate decade, finally choose the date or dates that interest you. 

You can "page" through or search the Course Catalog online or download a PDF of the Catalog.  Unfortunately, searching across ALL Course Catalogs is not available in Internet Archive.

FHG Library also holds physical copies of all course catalogs.  A selection is available at FHG Library's Reference Desk and the full set is available in Special Collections.

To access the Catalogs:

1. Click on the desired issue/year.  You will then be taken to the main page for the individual issue on the Internet Archive, which is hosting the digitized yearbooks. 
2. To read the course catalogs, click on one of the options in the "View the Book" box in the top left-hand corner.  The "Read Online" and "PDF" links are recommended.  

• The Read Online format opens fastest and is easiest to search.
• The PDF format is also searchable, and is ideal for downloading or saving the yearbook.
