Project Details
Architecture of Oberlin College provides historical and current information on the College's structures and monuments from its founding in 1833 to the present day. Images of structures in photographs, drawings and engravings that illustrate the entries were drawn from the Archives' holdings, the College's Office of Communications, or were the result of new photography for this project. Older structures are indicated on historical campus maps reproduced for this exhibit. Tags enable collocation and additional searching. Structures and monuments can appear as lists alphabetically or chronologically.

The customized design for Architecture of Oberlin College in Omeka was created by Eva Fineberg, computer science major and 2015 graduate, as a Winter Term project for college credit in January 2015. Images, descriptions and other metadata were compiled/written by Associate Archivist Anne Cuyler Salsich, with assistance from Haley Antell, Archives and Special Collections Intern. John T. Seyfried, an Oberlin College freelance photographer, contributed new photography pro bono for eight structures not already well represented. Serena Creary (Class of 2017), Archives Student Assistant, took photographs for two entries. Other images not in the Archives were supplied by the College's Office of Communications.
