The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum
The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum is located in the Mineral Resources Building on the Evansdale campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia, and is “dedicated to preserving and promoting the social, cultural, and technological history of West Virginia’s coal and petroleum industries through the collection, preservation, research, and exhibition of historical objects and archival materials.”〔“Home,” The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum, accessed December 7, 2013 ()〕 Originally named the COMER Museum for WVU's College of Mineral and Energy Resources (COMER, 1930–1995), the Watts Museum was renamed in 2005 at the request of the West Virginia Coal Mining Institute (WVCMI).〔WVEnginnering Magazine, Spring 2006〕
== History ==
The collections of what is now the Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum, began prior to the establishment of the School of Mines, later named COMER, at West Virginia University in 1930 with the collection of flame safety lamps. Before the construction of the Mineral Resources Building (MRB) in 1991 these lamps were displayed in cases located in White Hall on the downtown campus of West Virginia University. When plans were made for the construction of the MRB in 1986, space for a museum and storage were included in the design plans and the COMER Museum was officially established.〔The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum Dedication, Summer 2005〕
In 2005, the museum was endowed by gifts from the WVCMI, the Watts family, and alumni and friends of WVU Mineral Resources. WVCMI requested that the name of the COMER Museum be changed to the Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum to recognize “two individuals who have tirelessly supported its mission through both financial support and other resources.”〔“About,” The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum, accessed December 7, 2013, ()〕 Royce J. Watts, a faculty member at WVU for over fifty years, and his wife helped develop and establish the COMER Museum.
In 2012, the Museum was awarded a grant from The West Virginia Humanities Council to support a coal mining educational outreach program for senior citizens in the area.
