Special Collections purchased the Richmond Club of VPI Poster in October 2010.
The processing, arrangement, and description of the Richmond Club of VPI Poster was completed in October 2011.
The collection consists of one poster from the Richmond Club of VPI which was advertising a "cabaret style, informal" dance. It was hosted in the Virginia Room of the John Marshall Hotel. "Jimmy Hamner & Orchestra" provided the music. Admission cost $2.50, with or without reservations. While the poster lists Dec. 28 as the date of the dance, the exact year is unknown; however, December 28th occurred on a Wednesday in 1949 and 1955, making either a likely candidate.
The collection is arranged by material type.
