The C. Elizabeth Boyd '33 Archives at Wilson College houses the history
of the College from its founding in 1869 to the present by collecting
materials created by students, faculty, administrative and departmental
staff. It serves as the official repository for the College's records,
including those that pertain to academic programs and courses of
instruction, academic departments and committees, and administrators and
administrative offices. Further, the Archives collects a wide range of
historical and biographical materials relating to alumni and other
individuals connected with the College, and those documenting the
history of the institution.
Interns in the C. Elizabeth Boyd '33 Archives will have the opportunity
for hands-on work with a variety of materials including correspondence,
newspapers, photographs, scrapbooks, textiles, and artifacts. Students
