Viewbooks, 1918 - 2009
Collection Scope and Content Summary
These records detail the benefits of a Barnard education to both prospective students and current matriculates by exploring the College’s rich history and presenting the resources available within the school, in New York City, and abroad. The collection includes admissions cards, viewbooks from 1901-2009, department brochures, program brochures, fact sheets, maps of both the Barnard College campus and Morningside Heights, essays written by students and faculty, brochures for disabled students, brochures for minority students, pamphlets for transferring students, and guides for parents. One essay cites New York as Barnard’s laboratory, and another discusses the possibilities extended to a Barnard graduate. These materials focus on the individual, the community, the school, the city, and future achievements to show their interconnections.
