Section A. General Humanities.

In addition to the sets listed in the section on general
periodicals and society publications,[1] the University of Virginia
Library contains the Altnordische Sagabibliothek, the Handbuch
der Literaturwissenschaft, Notes and Queries, and the speech
atlases of Germany and Italy and Southern Switzerland; Arkiv für
Nordisk Filologi, Acta Philologica Scandinavica, American Journal
of Philology, American Philological Association Transactions and
Proceedings, Archiv für das Studium der Neueren Sprachen und
Literaturen, Indogermanische Forschungen, Journal of English and
Germanic Philology, Language, Le Maître Phonetique, Modern Language
Review, Modern Philology, Palaestra, Philologische Wochenschrift,
Publications of the Modern Language Association, Revue
de Littérature Comparée, and Studies in Philology. Several of
these are duplicated in other university or college libraries,
notably at the College of William and Mary, Hollins, Randolph-Macon,
Randolph-Macon Woman's College, the State Teachers
Colleges at East Radford and Farmville, Sweet Briar, University of
Richmond, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
and Washington and Lee.

The student in paleography would find some material at the
libraries of the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Alexandria and
of the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. Attention has been
given to this subject at two of the women's colleges also: Randolph-Macon
Woman's College and Sweet Briar. At the University of
Virginia there is moderate opportunity for work in classics on
epigraphy and in English on facsimiles of Chaucer manuscripts and
on Elizabethan handwriting.
