Wesleyan College Archives Collection Development
The Archives collects materials of historical value that directly relate to Wesleyan College’s history. The Wesleyan College Archives will remain limited, selective, and focused in the area of collection due to physical space available to house and protect the collections. All donations are subject to review by the Archivist and may be declined. All donations must be submitted with a deed of gift to the Archives.
