HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION
The material in this collection incorporates items previously scattered throughout the College in departments such as Physical Plant, the President's Office, and the Office of Public Affairs, as well as miscellaneous files in the Archives and Special Collections. The Collection was assembled between 1984 and 1987. During 1995-1997, additional material was added to the collection and the listing was updated and revised. The Buildings and Grounds Collection is constantly expanding. New material has been added yearly and it will continue to grow as the physical campus changes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
The Buildings and Grounds Collection is arranged in ## series:
1. BUILDINGS 2. GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES 3. ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPERS 4. DUPLICATE IMAGES AND PUBLICATIONS 5. STEREOGRAPH IMAGES 6. FRAMED IMAGES 7. PHYSICAL PLANT RECORDS (RESTRICTED)
Series Descriptions (partial)
SERIES 1: BUILDINGS, 1823 to date. This section is arranged alphabetically by building name or by type and use of structure. Material in this series includes the financial documents (fund raising, gifts), architects' drawings, and accounts of dedications, ground breaking, construction, and remodeling. For many of the buildings, blueprints, drawings, and both exterior and interior photographs dating as far back as the 1860s provide a remarkably complete account.
Buildings that have the same use have been combined under one heading; for example, the Fraternity Houses are grouped together and listed under the name of the national fraternities that originally built the houses. Dormitories are listed under “Student Housing,” and the list includes those buildings that no longer exist but once formed part of the campus.
Faculty Houses are most often listed under the name of the person from whom the house was purchased.
The general heading Physical Plant includes the College Garage, the Heating Plants and Tunnels, the Service Building, and the Storage Barns.
The BUILDINGS series also includes several buildings which are not located on the Amherst campus but which have had, or still have, a close connection with Amherst College (e.g., Doshisha University). These are listed separately at the end of Series 1.

Items of particular interest are listed separately; for example, the Packardville Bell (see Box 11, Folder 47) and the granite (gneiss) stone used so frequently (Box 10, Folder 13) in College buildings.
Structures that were once part of the campus, but which no longer exist, are included in the collection, listed according to their names.
SERIES 2: GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES, 1827 to date. Contains a range of information about the College's physical plant and holdings that do not relate to a specific building. Series 2 is arranged topically. GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES includes deeds of land, surveys; information about off-campus holdings and properties; campus views, including drawings and photographs; documentation of the 1938 hurricane and its effects; records of memorials and sculptures located on the campus; information regarding the athletic grounds and playing fields; the Wildlife Sanctuary; and other information regarding the general administration of campus properties and functions such as campus utilities.
This series contains some drawings and paintings from the earlier years of the College, including, in photocopy form, the work of Orra White Hitchcock, wife of President Edward Hitchcock. (The originals of Orra Hitchcock's works are located in the Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers.) These representations date from the early 1820s (see Box 18).
Of special interest are various schemes for developing the College Campus by Frederick Law Olmsted for the late 1890s and early 1900s and Arthur A. Shurcliff, in the 1920s (see Grounds and Planting, Box 20).
Several of the boxes and folders in the BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Collection are supplemented by materials that have been added over the years. This material has been integrated into the Collection; cross-references to relevant locations have been added to the listing.
