Crowdsourcing the Archives at the Grinnell College Libraries
Annually at Grinnell College Reunion, College Archives staff looks forward to the crowdsourcing table where alumni can share stories and help to identify pictures in the archive that are missing key information. With the help of Grinnell alumni and the campus community, the archive gains insight into life at Grinnell in years past and can preserve the important history of life on campus.
The Scarlet & Black is the student newspaper for Grinnell College. Better known as The S&B, the newspaper was first published in 1894. The S&B is currently digitized from 1894 up until 2018. The Alumni Scarlet & Black was an alumni newsletter published 1942 until 1965. All issues have been digitized.
This is a virtual space for Grinnell alumni to share photos and stories of their time at Grinnell. Navigate to the Yearbook to page through some memories and leave a comment to start a conversation.
The collection contains versions of The Ladies' Education Society's constitution and articles of incorporation, membership, minutes, reports, and accounting from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Incunabula at Grinnell Project is an ongoing project focused on research, interpretation, and digitization of early printing examples at home in Grinnell College Special Collections. This digital platform is a showcase of this work and a resource for scholars at Grinnell and afar. This project has been made possible through collaboration and support from the Grinnell Digital Liberal Arts Collaborative (DLAC), Vivero Digital Fellows Program, and facilitation by Special Collections & Archives, including our invaluable Grinnell College student staff and researchers.
