Here at Cressman Library, we are proud to be the caretakers of Cedar Crest's Archive and are committed to the careful interpretation, contextualization, and preservation of our institutional memories. As we process our Archive, we are guided and informed by the work being done at other women's colleges across the country while we reflect on our own identity, what elements are essential to our history, and how we want this moment to be remembered in the future. Swipe through for a tour of the archives and to read our official mission statement, and subscribe to our Cressman Chronicle blog for more details!
