Introduction to Collections & Documents

The Dickinson Archives & Special Collections includes the official records of Dickinson College, as well as collections from various other organizations and individuals.

Collections of college and personal papers, as well as a select number of individual documents, have been briefly described in entries available for browsing and searching on this site. All collection and document descriptions contain a representative image and a summary of the contents. Collection descriptions also include links to an inventory detailing the contents of the collection.

A select number of collections and documents have been digitized. Look for links to digitized resources under “Related Entries” in collection descriptions and for a link to the “View Item” in document descriptions.
