Colby Sawyer is a private college that is steadily growing, doubling its student size from 700 to 1400 in the last 6 years. Founded in 1837, it has a deep historical collection of college photos, student newspapers and precious letters, including the Pillsbury family letters dating back to the 1850s.

In 1996, it established the college archives and, in 2007, began to digitize parts of the collection primarily to widen access to the digitized records of student life past and present. In this video Kelli Bogan, College Archivist, Colby-Sawyer College explains more.
