History of Haverford College
Haverford College

The collections digitized under the rubric of Haverford College History currently have two facets. These include a growing number of photographic images of all aspects of life at Haverford across time -- from classes and individuals representing a variety of constituent groups to campus life and from sports to buildings and grounds -- and texts of the four major published histories of the college, the first published in 1890, then 1917 and 1933 and the last in 1983.
