Welcome to the VMI Archives historical rosters database.  This resource provides researchers with an online gateway to one of our most popular and valuable genealogical resources -- early cadet rosters and biographical files.  The database currently includes the names of all enrolled students (both graduates and non-graduates) from VMI's opening in 1839 through the Class of 1935.  Some records also include detailed biographical and genealogical information.  New records are added regularly.

For further information about an individual listed in the database, or to have us confirm the attendance of individuals not yet included, contact the VMI Archives.  We can check the complete record, let you know if other information is in our files, and provide photocopies of original documents.

Reminder: This database provides historical information only.  It does not include, and we do not provide, information about living VMI alumni or current students.
