| Amherst College: |
Project staff digitized collections on site here in May, June, and
September 1999. The College's
Annual
Catalogues (1822-1900) and the Coeducation
Collection are now available online. We are currently completing
two more manuscript collections: the papers of Orra White Hitchcock (from
the Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers) and portions of the Snell Family
Papers. We expect that these collections will be available online
in October 1999.

Also ... an online exhibit, "'A
Perennial Blessing': Celebrating Sophia Smith," was mounted in February
1997 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Sophia Smith's birth. It documents
Sophia Smith's life and legacy by displaying a large selection of contemporary
sources and original materials from the Smith College Archives. The exhibit
was adapted from one that was on view in the Archives in 1996. The Web
version was prepared by Peter Nelson.
