Other Campus Collections
There are a number of collections on the Mount Holyoke College campus. Some of them are well known and easily accessible to faculty and students; others are fascinating but much less visible. All of them help document the unique history of Mount Holyoke College. The Art Museum has undertaken a project to gather information about these various collections. This is meant to be a first step in understanding what exists at Mount Holyoke College and how faculty and students might draw upon these collections in teaching and learning. Please contact Curator Wendy Watson at 413.538.2585 for more information about the campus collections project.
