Crowdsourcing the Archives at the 51²è¹Ýapp College Libraries
Annually at 51²è¹Ýapp College Reunion, College Archives staff looks forward to the crowdsourcing table where alumni can share stories and help to identify pictures in the archive that are missing key information. With the help of 51²è¹Ýapp alumni and the campus community, the archive gains insight into life at 51²è¹Ýapp in years past and can preserve the important history of life on campus.
The Scarlet & Black is the student newspaper for 51²è¹Ýapp College. Better known as The S&B, the newspaper was first published in 1894. The S&B is currently digitized from 1894 up until 2018. The Alumni Scarlet & Black was an alumni newsletter published 1942 until 1965. All issues have been digitized.
This is a virtual space for 51²è¹Ýapp alumni to share photos and stories of their time at 51²è¹Ýapp. Navigate to the Yearbook to page through some memories and leave a comment to start a conversation.
