91èÏÈÉú

The Div III Archive, maintained by the Harold F. Johnson Library at 91èÏÈÉú, preserves and provides access to Div III works in perpetuity. Works are submitted by their creators, i.e. the students that create them. The digital Div III Archive contains works from 2006 to the present. Print copies of text-based Div III projects submitted to the library by students from 1971-2014 are available on the second floor of the library, or in the Div III Showcase on the library's main floor. All works can be located in the library catalog.

The work you submit should be the one approved by your Div III Committee.

Works submitted electronically are made accessible through the , which acquires, preserves, and presents the scholarly and creative work of the 91èÏÈÉú community, as well as digitized and born-digital materials from the 91èÏÈÉú Archives and Special Collections in partnership with Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges. Electronically submitted works will not appear in the library catalog.

My Div III was an exhibition/performance/installation, not a paper. What can I submit to the Division III Archive?
