Description:

Founded in 1908 and named for the mother of our country’s founding father, the University of Mary Washington has built a rich history of traditions and academic excellence. The institution has evolved from its beginnings as Fredericksburg’s State Normal and Industrial School for Women to one of the nation’s premier, selective public liberal arts and sciences universities today. The University – located midway between Richmond, Va., and Washington, D.C. – attracts intellectually curious undergraduate and graduate students in search of rigorous academics. The University's Simpson Library has partnered with Archive-It to capture web content and social media created by UMW affiliates, thereby preserving the historical record of the University.
