A New Digital Archive Showing Life at Mount Holyoke College in the Early Twentieth Century

Mount Holyoke College, the highly rated liberal arts educational institution for women in South Hadley, Massachusetts, has debuted a new online digital archive of about 2,000 rare photographs documenting life at the college from 1899 to 1939. The photographs include pictures of the campus and community and women in a wide variety of academic and extracurricular activities. The images were taken by Asa Kinney, a professor of botany at the college during the period.

The digital archive may be accessed here.
