There are no restrictions on access to the faculty directories.
The University of Virginia owns the copyright to the items in this series.
The first faculty directory in this series dates from the 1974-1975 academic year. It contains the names and short biographies of University of Virginia School of Law faculty and it was produced for a small internal audience.
The subsequent directories, dating from 1983 to 2000, provide more substantial information about School of Law faculty, adjuncts, and administration. They include extended biographies, photographs, and letters from the School's Dean. Unlike the directory from 1974-1975, these later resources were designed for wide distribution among Law School faculty, students, alums, staff, and supporters. Every few years, the University of Virginia published complete directories and distributed supplemental printings to profile new faculty hired in the years between publications.
Staff members at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library collected the faculty directories. The Library transferred them to the archive in 2024.

The University of Virginia School of Law shared faculty, staff, and department directories on its public website. The online directories provide lists of names, titles, and contact information. Many versions of them also include photographs, biographies, and department affiliations.
The items in this series are representations of the online directories. Some versions are represented in printed resources, and others as digital objects.
There are no restrictions on access to the online directories.
The online directories originally existed as a series of web pages. Archivists strive to capture the directories in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when it was live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists made appraisal decisions that resulted in the creation of archived resources that might function and look different from the originals.
When using copies of the online directories, researchers should know that they are not identical to the originals. They are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
The University of Virginia produced the directories in this series. The copyright status of each of these items is unknown, either the University owns the copyright to them, or they are in the public domain.
At different dates, staff members at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library downloaded directory data from the Law School website, created the representations in this series, and transferred them to the Library's archive.
