Materials Needed

An institutional archives, by definition, is mainly concerned with preserving the records of the institution that created it—the operational records of its various leaders and offices once those records are no longer active. However, there are certain materials that the Colby Archives is always interested in acquiring from outside of the institution—materials related to student life and alumni activities and accomplishments. We are especially interested in photographs, student scrapbooks, student publications, and memorabilia related to campus activities and organizations, dormitory life, athletics, and other aspects of student life.
