Collection Scope and Content Summary

From the Collection:

Boxes 1-3 contain various documents, brochures, and maps related to Barnard Camp. This includes (but is not limited to) annual camp reports, board minutes, fund raising records, correspondence, inventories, policies, precedence reports, and schedules. Folders are arranged alphabetically.

Boxes 4-6 contain scrapbooks of photos from Barnard Camp weekends. The earliest photos were taken in 1928, before Barnard acquired a permanent camp. The photos continue through to the late 1940s/early 1950s.

Boxes 7-10 contain logs of Barnard Camp’s June Leadership Courses from 1934-1940, 1943, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, and 1953. These annual logs served as journals of the June Course experiences, providing camper names, lighthearted (and often illustrated) daily diaries, songs, photographs, meal lists, and humorous anecdotes about the campers.

Box 10 also contains license plates used by the Barnard Athletics Department van.

Box 11 contains guest books from 1934-1980. In these books, Barnard Camp visitors would record their names, addresses, dates stayed at camp, graduating classes, and remarks on their stays. This box also contains a blank leather booklet with a picture of a bear on the cover.

Box 12 contains photographs and architectural renderings of the camp.

Box 13 contains miscellaneous negatives and Holly House slides.

Box 14 contains DAB [Dorothy A Braumeck?] '36, "Roads and Trails in the Vicinity of Barnard Camp of Barnard College Westchester Caunty, New York" c. 1936
