Digital Collections
The TriCollege Libraries Digital Collections include unique and rare archival collections, manuscripts, publications, ephemera, maps, photographs, and audio visual content, including oral histories, from Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges. The TriCollege Libraries Digital Collections provides an access point for searching the digitized and born-digital collections of three colleges founded on the Quaker traditions of social conscience and thoughtful citizenship.
Members of the Swarthmore community may have particular interest in digital access to The Halcyon and other student publications. For now, the College Bulletin and the Phoenix may be access using the links, below
The collections continue to grow, with new items added on a regular basis.
