Mary Baldwin College Archives
The College Archives contain materials pertaining to the history of Mary Baldwin College, from its founding in 1842 as the Augusta Female Seminary to the present. The collection includes documents and letters of its founders, Rufus William Bailey and Mary Julia Baldwin; nineteenth century diplomas, programs, photographs and student records. Because many the documents are unique and fragile they are not available to the public.
The College Archivist is William C. Pollard. His regularly scheduled hours are Tuesday and Thursday mornings and at other times by appointment. He can be reached at 540-887-7239 or wpollard@mbc.edu . Questions may be sent through the Archives Information Request Form. Please allow approximately two weeks for a response.
The Library accepts donations of Mary Baldwin College memorabilia on behalf of the College, in accordance with current tax laws, through the office of Institutional Advancement.
