Historical Sketch

Beginning with articles in 1962 pertaining to the Virginia Associated Research Center (or VARC) the newspaper articles cover the evolution of Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) from funding and development, to scientists and community outreach, as well as associated universities, organizations, and staff.


Scope and Content

This collection is made up of news clippings from newspapers from all over the world. Copies of original articles and articles provided and published digitally are held within the digital collection; only originals are available in the analog collection. All articles have been dated wherever possible. There is a section in the digital collection for articles that have not been dated.


Arrangement

This collection is arranged in chronological order by year and also by location, with source volume separating most of the analog collection: Local (Virginian-Pilot, Daily Press, etc.); Statewide, National, International (as international materials are added to the collection). As of the making of this Collection Guide, and unless otherwise noted, please assume and notice years and articles are missing. Internal researchers are seeking this missing information it will be interfiled and this Guide updated as articles are located.

A master database indexes the physical articles within the collection. This database is housed within the Jefferson Lab Document Management System. Within the digital collection is a subseries for obituaries to honor those lost to the Jefferson Lab community.
