Stephens College Archives
The Stephens College Archives is the repository for materials that document the history of the college and its academic programs, many of which were notable educational innovations. Those persons interested in arranging for, or pursuing research in the archives, or contributing to the collections, may make arrangements with the archivist, Dr. Alan Havig, by e-mail at [email protected]. Please contact the Archivist for current semester hours. The Archives are located on the North Terrace Level of Tower Hall on the Stephens campus.
Of Special Note
The college dates its founding to the 1833 Columbia Female
Academy and its first preceptress, Lucy Ann Wales.
The archives contains the papers of James Madison Wood,
the president from 1912 to 1947 who brought the college to the national
prominence it continues to enjoy today. The Maude Adams
Collection documents the work of this legendary American
actress when she came to Stephens College to lead the drama program.
An unusual feature of the archives is the Alumnae Memorabilia
Collection, which documents both the academic and social
experiences of students.
