Artifacts Register
Smith College.
Scope and Contents of the Collection The College Archives is home to over six hundred artifacts which supplement the documentary and photographic history of Smith College. They range in date from 1879 to the present; some cannot be precisely dated. The Artifacts Collection includes Smith College, class, and club pins and jewelry, Reunion paraphernalia, house banners and t-shirts, samples of the Smith Wedgwood china, Smith College Relief Unit mementos, souvenirs from special events, and countless other objects-many of which resist easy categorization.
