Repository description (extant): An archive is a repository of institutional records and historic materials. At the Williams College Archives, these include:

Personal letters from Ephraim Williams, Jr.
Minutes of the meetings of the Board of Trustees
Blueprints of campus buildings
Historic photographs
Student theses
... and much more!

Unlike a library, most of the material in an archive is unique and irreplaceable. For this reason, there are special policies governing access to the materials.

Repository type: University Special Collection
