The College Archives and Quaker Collection has a threefold purpose:
a) to house the archives of Wilmington College
b) to develop and maintain a research collection of printed materials on
all aspects of Quaker history, philosophy, thought, and practice
c) to serve as the depository for the official records of the Wilmington
Yearly Meeting and the Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting |
| Museums |
The Wilmington College Peace Resource Center has a long-standing commitment to peace and justice. Since 1975 it has taken an active role in providing peace education materials both locally and throughout the country.
This is accomplished through a book purchase service, audio-visual rentals, circulating libraries in both English and Japanese, and a research collection on the immediate and long-term effects of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. |
