Welcome to the Digital Collections of Amherst College. This website hosts a blog and project pages where we share the work we do to digitize, organize and share materials from the archives and special collections.

Amherst College History
In 2021 Amherst College will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of college. In the Amherst College Library, we are working on a series of projects to select, digitize, describe, and make available online materials from the college archives and special collections to help capture some of the history of the institution. Here are a selection of images from the vast digital collection added over the past few years. Read more.
