Librarians and environmental conditions might not seem to go together, but the environment greatly impacts our most fragile and important historical materials. Swarthmore College’s Special Collections include internationally recognized archival collections used by hundreds of Swarthmore students, faculty, alumni, and global researchers.

Come learn from our archival staff about how these treasures are impacted by environmental conditions and the most sustainable ways of safeguarding our history for future generations of scholars.
