In 2022, Virginia Tech will celebrate its 150th anniversary. What started as a fledgling school to promote agricultural, mechanical, and military education grew into a comprehensive research university with a global land grant mission. As part of the upcoming celebrations, "Virginia Tech: 150 Years in 150 Images" will provide a unique look at the history of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University from its late nineteenth century origins up to the present day. The book includes 150 unique or rare photographs and other items from the Special Collections and University Archives at Virginia Tech. These iconic and less familiar historic photographs celebrate the milestones and lesser-known achievements of the past 150 years and point to the bright future of Virginia Tech.
