The Flat Hat is a rich source of information, announcing events taking place on campus as well as reflecting student opinion. The student newspaper began publication in October 1911 and, except during the fall of 1918, has been continuously published ever since.
The most recent issues of The Flat Hat are available online at http://www.flathatnews.com/. Most issues of The Flat Hat from 1911-September 2010 are available here in the W&M Digital Archive with the notable exceptions of the most recent issues of the newspaper. All issues are available in their original paper form in the Special Collections Research Center in Swem Library.
All issues of The Flat Hat are available in paper form in the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) and issues through the 1990s are also available on microform in Swem Library.
Until a few years ago, library staff indexed the The Flat Hat (as well as the Alumni Gazette and the William and Mary News) by subject and personal name. This index is still available as a card file in the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) in Swem Library for public use.
