Manuscripts & Special Collections
Wheaton students, date unknown
The Gebbie Archives & Special Collections houses a number of manuscript collections. The majority relate in some way to Wheaton, its graduates, faculty, staff, or Board of Trustee members. However, an increasing number are not related to Wheaton, but provide contemporary glimpses into family and gender issues, as well as many other topics, enriching the research experience for students and other scholars.
These documents are non-circulating and must be viewed in the Gebbie Reading Room. Below is an alphabetical listing of every manuscript housed in the Archives and Special collections.
