With Chloe Raub, Head of Archives and Special Collections
The Newcomb Archives and Vorhoff Library Special Collections collect, preserve, and make available records that document the history of women and gender in the Gulf South. In addition, they maintain a non-circulating special collection library devoted to women's education, prescriptive literature, culinary history, Newcomb College authors, third wave feminist zines, and other topics. The Newcomb Art Museum builds on the Newcomb College legacy of education, social enterprise, and artistic experience. The Museum presents inspiring exhibitions and programs that engage communities both on and off campus, fostering the creative exchange of ideas and cross-disciplinary collaborations around innovative art.
Chloe Raub, Head of Archives and Special Collections, will offer a brief tour and will talk about the content and historical context of selected library and archival materials. Attendees will also be welcome to visit the Museum's current exhibition.
Tour participants should meet on the first level across from the bank of elevators, in front of the Spirits bar. Please be early, as tours will leave on time. Look for the tour leader’s purple Mardi Gras hat.
