Robert C. Byrd
(1917-2010)
The staff of the Robert C. Byrd Center for Legislative Studies extend our condolences to the Senator’s staff, his family, and to all the citizens of West Virginia and the nation who share in the loss of this remarkable man.

About ten years ago Senator Byrd selected Shepherd University as the place that would hold his personal papers and the record of his service to West Virginia and the United States. In the coming months and years we will expand our holdings and continue to process these papers so that future historians, political scientists, journalists, and all serious students of the U. S. Senate and state and national politics can learn from the experiences of the longest-serving Senator in U. S. history.

Remembering Senator Byrd
