V-Text
V-text is an open access digital repository maintained by the Odum Library to collect, preserve, and distribute Valdosta State University's intellectual capital in ways not currently supported by traditional library and publication models. Repositories are important tools for preserving an organization's legacy; they facilitate digital preservation and scholarly communication.

The Campus Canopy was the student newspaper at Georgia State Women's College/ Valdosta State College from 1935-1969. In 1970, the paper was renamed The Spectator, which is the name it has been published under to the present day. This index contains articles from 1935-1942, and more articles are added regularly.
The publicity department of Georgia State Womens College (and later Valdosta State College) kept annual publicity scrapbooks. All articles that they found, which included information about the school, its faculty, staff or students, were cut out and mounted in these scrapbooks. Newspapers represented include the large, for example, the Atlanta Constitution, to the very small, the Quitman Free Press.
The indexing project lists titles, paper name, names found in articles,
subjects, and summaries of all the newspaper articles in each
scrapbook. This is a wonderful source for people researching Valdosta
State University. Our indexing project is ongoing: we currently have
[date to date] indexed and searchable here. We will add new records
at the end of each semester. These records were created by the
volunteer VSU history student workers who were working in Archives for
their history classes. We are very grateful to these workers. Please
contact us if you have any questions.
