DONATIONS TO THE ARCHIVES
We're all in the process of "cleaning out stuff" so this is the perfect time to think about sending some of it to
The Mount Holyoke Archives!
Archives and Special Collections collects the papers and other records of individuals, institutions, and organizations connected with Mount Holyoke College. Archives and Special Collections also collects rare books related to a wide variety of areas, fields, and disciplines. All of these materials are maintained as primary resources for teaching and research conducted by students, faculty, and other users.
Archives and Special Collections has been shaped and strengthened through the generosity of thousands of individuals who have supported it through the decades. The rich and diverse collections are the result of the thought and effort of generations of loyal alumnae, faculty, librarians, archivists, and friends of Mount Holyoke.
We welcome donations of collections or of single items that directly support or complement the historic collections.
The first step in making a donation is to contact Deborah Richards, head of Archives and Special Collections. She looks forward to discussing what materials you have.
Donating archives
The manuscript collections document the academic, administrative, and social history of Mount Holyoke College through the letters, diaries, photographs, scrapbooks, and course materials of faculty, staff, and students.
Each year, these collections are consulted by thousands of researchers from around the world. With the donation of each new collection, we are able to increase the breadth and depth of our resources to better serve the educational needs of the College and of scholars who are drawn to our collections due to Mount Holyoke's prominent place in the history of women's education. Each donation helps to enlarge the documentation of not only the effect of Mount Holyoke on the world but the effect of individuals on the institution itself.
Below are lists of some types of materials that Archives and Special Collections collects. Please note that these lists are not definitive; there may be other types of documents or records that may have continuing research value. Printed and digital materials are welcome.

The Rare Books collection serves as a primary resource for teaching and research conducted by students, faculty and other researchers. Donations to this collection, or monetary donations for the purchase of rare books, help us to increase the breadth and depth of our collections and allow us to better support the curricular needs of the College.
The Archives and Special Collections main rare book collections include books written specifically for girl readers between 1830 and 1970; American history; illustrated editions of Dante Alighieri's Divina commedia; 19th-century books that are known to have been used in the courses of study at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary; rare children's books; published works related to the Collège de 'pataphysique; Renaissance science books; and fine press books. Because our collections cover more than these main areas, gifts of books will be considered on an individual basis.
DONATIONS
So as you are thinking about throwing...think about Mount Holyoke and if they would just love to have those pictures of Junior Show etc.
SOME FACTS...PLUS OR MINUS A FEW!
In September, 1951, when we entered Mount Holyoke, the Class of 1955 numbered 331. Their biggest class so far.
In 1955 271 of us graduated. Lots got married over the years and had to leave as I'm sure you all remember. Currently at the end of 2024, 98 of us remain.
Now, so far, 29 of us (that’s almost 30%!) plan to attend our 70th reunion, May 23-25, 2025. We're reaching out to contact everyone to hear their plans1
