College-Related Research

Our department documents the history of the campus and houses materials related to academic and social life. Our files include information on student activities, student groups, the curriculum, campus traditions, and buildings and grounds.

While the department does collect materials related to college presidents, faculty, employees, trustees, and departments, as a rule, we do not house files on individual students or alumni. If you are doing geneaological research on a College of Wooster student, you may want to contact the Office of Alumni Relations or try the options listed below for former Wayne County residents.
