This academic year, Mandeville Gallery & Schaffer Library will display art requested by Union College professors for use in teaching. Many are recent additions to the College’s Permanent Collection, a term used to describe the art amassed over Union's 200-year-plus history.

A look behind the scenes: This summer we transferred alumni files for the years 1930-1959 from College Relations to Special Collections & Archives. The files contain a wealth of information on Union College alumni and are some of our most requested items. archives.union.edu/repositories/3….

One of Union’s most consequential, yet least recognized, alumni comes alive through correspondences, images, scrapbooks, journals and other materials in a new exhibit at Schaffer Library. Visit info, the digital exhibit, and more: union.edu/news/stories/2… @BigelowPapers

Here's another colorized shot from Special Collections and Archives, this from the Ed Schultz Photographs. Ed was a photographer at Union for decades. Also... check out the less manicured 1960 version of the Nott! 🔥 #TBT #SchafferLibrary #UnionCollege @UnionAthletics
