Five College Archives Digital Access Project

http://clio.fivecolleges.edu/

The Five College Archives Digital Access Project web site provides access to a selection of material held at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The material included on the site relates to nineteenth and early twentieth century women, in particular the education of women. The type of material on the site includes letters, photographs, articles, diaries and official college publications. Details of the archives which have been included from each of the colleges can be found on the site. It is possible to search the collection. The search engine will, in the majority of cases, search the text of the description of documents as most of the documents have been put on the site as Images. The collections of the colleges can be searched individually or together. The site also maintains a set of links relating to the digitization of archival collections.
