Visiting the Campus VISITING THE CAMPUS ON WALK THROUGH DETAILS ON THE CAMPUS VISIT barnard.edu/admissions BARNARd’s GATES onto tree-lined brick pathways, and the sounds of the city fade away. Here, the buildings buzz with the energy of some 2,400 gifted, ambitious young women enjoying the challenges of a rigorous liberal arts education, the resources of a great university, and the lifelong friendships that come from living in a close-knit community. To experience a bit of Barnard’s world for yourself, come for a visit. PLAN YOUR VISIT Historic buildings in the Beaux Arts style with classic features, beautiful landscaping, and the brand new 70,000-square-foot Diana Center: you can see it all. Guided tours are available year-round, Monday through Friday at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. During the fall (late September to early December), tours are also available on select weekend days and are fully accessible (no steps) upon request. Tours depart from the Visitor Center in the Sulzberger Annex and last about one hour; an information session, led by a Barnard admissions counselor, immediately follows the tours at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. in Milbank Hall (11:30 a.m. only on select weekends). Information sessions are designed to complement campus tours and focus primarily on the admission and financial aid process. Appointments are not necessary, although we recommend checking our website or contacting the Office of Admissions before planning your visit. If you happen to be on campus and can’t come at our designated tour times, please visit our office or our website at www.barnard.edu/admissions for a self-guided walking tour brochure. 2 ON BARNARD VISIT CLASSES To help you plan your time on campus, consult the list of classes available at our reception desk or at www.barnard.edu/admissions.

    Barnard Archives and Special Collections 422 Milstein Center | 3009 Broadway | New York, NY |10027-6598 [email protected] Telephone: 212-854-4079 Fax: 212-854-7340 COLLECTIONS DEVELOPMENT POLICY Updated: June 2019 A. Introduction The Barnard Archives and Special Collections acts as a repository for the historical records of Barnard College, from its founding in 1889 to the present day. As such, the Archives collects materials that document campus and academic life at Barnard. In addition to documenting the history of the College, the mission of the Barnard Archives is pedagogical at its foundation. We seek to provide source material to students, staff, alums, faculty, and administrators, and other members of the Barnard College and Columbia University communities, as well as to local, national, and international researchers, activists, and artists. The Barnard Archives and Special Collections also seeks to grow Special Collections that relate to histories of Feminism; Women’s, Sexuality, and Gender Studies; and Dance. The Barnard Archives and Special Collections staff aspire to a praxis of collection development that is informed by reparative and redistributive frameworks to actively confront histories of exclusion and displacement of people with marginalized identities within our collections. We are grateful to the thinking and scholarship of archivists, librarians, memory workers, and archival scholars including but not limited to Vani Natarajan, Jen Brown, Miriam Neptune, Madiha Choski, Jenna Freedman, Holly Smith, Lae’l Hughes-Watkins, Elvia Arroyo-Ramirez, Linda M. Perkins, Jarrett Drake, Bergis Jules, Michelle Caswell, and the members of We Here and Archivistas en Espanglish for shaping our work. B.
