The Kenyon College Archive contains many examples of scrapbooks and photo albums created by students and community members through the years. We have digitized a majority of this collection and you can see how much things have changed, and how much they've stayed the same, through the years at Kenyon.
The Kenyon College Archives Scrapbooks and Photo Albums collection consists of many albums from the 19th Century and early 20th Century which may contain language or images that we recognize today as harmful and offensive. You may encounter harmful content such as inappropriate descriptions or appropriation of Native American cultures, blackface, or racial slurs. For more information, see our policy page.
