New Archives Digital Exhibition: Art in the Archives of Oberlin College
The Oberlin College Archives announces a new virtual exhibition, Art in the Archives of Oberlin College. The exhibit showcases artworks and textiles with deep stories showcasing Oberlin’s rich history: early post-secondary coeducation and the admission of Black students, antislavery, education in Asia, leadership in world affairs after World War I, an eclectic and notable built environment, and excellence in teaching and learning on campus. Art in the Archives presents selected visual works with historical context and links them to sources and related collections. Many of the works have not been presented online before, or are new acquisitions.
You can access the exhibition through the Archives website here.
