Spelman College Archives

Repository

As one of two remaining historically, Black colleges founded to specifically educate women of the African Diaspora, Spelman College has a rich archival legacy going back to its founding. The Spelman College community has had an ongoing and strong interest in documenting the history of the College. This interest has manifested itself in a continuing commitment to the preservation of its administrative records as well as collecting letters, photographs, audio, documents, personal papers, monographs, and other material created by Spelman College graduates, faculty, staff and affiliates. The campus remains an integral part of Atlanta’s educational landscape, and the archives document the crucial history of one of the nation’s foremost educational institutions. The Spelman college archives and special collections serve as a microcosm of activities in Atlanta’s Black communities and facilitate a deeper understanding of the activities and issues affecting Black communities and internationally.
