Audio-visual Collections
|
Audio-visual materials provide
a unique source of historical information. The categories of audio files
include Quaker voices, Haverford College oral histories and Haverford College
history. These three categories are represented by reel tapes, cassettes
and LPs. These have all been transferred to CDs – which are available
for loan – while retaining the originals. Included are lectures by
such notable Quakers as Henry Cadbury, Douglas Steere, Rufus Jones and Howard
Brinton; oral histories of college employees, from faculty to staff and
Board members; and college history, such as speeches at the centennial of
the college in 1933 and the speech of honorary degree recipient, Herbert
Hoover.
Among visual materials are videos of collections,
inaugurations and other celebrations, distinguished visitors on campus,
symposia, student club events, even a film shot on Haverford’s campus.
