About the Archival College Record Collections

The Archival College Record Collections are comprised of records created by administrators, faculty, students, and alumnae in their various official capacities. The records are varied and range from the office files of a dean to records of student clubs to student papers to a photograph collection of approximately 15,000 images. The images reflect not only the Simmons campus and members of the College community throughout the twentieth century, but also changes in the Fenway neighborhood. Resort areas on Cape Cod, the North Shore, and the South Shore of Massachusetts, popular locations for student day trips throughout Simmons College history, are also depicted.

The records are organized in record groups (RG) under the names of academic and administrative departments. Institutional policy is such that some materials are limited to restricted use. These restrictions vary from collection to collection and researchers are urged to consult the College Archives for clarification.
