Quakers have a long history of activism on issues such as peacemaking, civil rights, racism and social justice. Visiting exhibits and speakers are just part of the experience.

Our exhibits, programs, and special events help our students, faculty, staff, and community members to better understand what we mean when we say Wilmington is a Quaker college.

Library Mission:

Wilmington College’s Watson Library serves the instructional, research, and general information needs of the campus community. The library fulfills its mission through (1) on-site provision of books, periodicals, microforms, sound recordings, electronic resources, and other library materials; (2) mediated access to off-campus information sources; and (3) active programs of information literacy: teaching the concepts needed to navigate the profusion of available sources and to critically evaluate the information, texts, and images discovered therein.

 

Watson Library serves as the archive for the official and unofficial records of Wilmington College, and we seek to collect, preserve, and make available for research, sources that document the history of Wilmington College and its cultural surroundings in Southwest Ohio. As a part of our cultural preservation efforts, Watson Library is also the home of the Quaker Rare Collection, including the archives of Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting and Wilmington Yearly Meeting.

 

Watson Library is a member of the OPAL and OhioLINK library consortia which provide valuable privileges such as online requesting and delivery of materials from other member libraries, walk-in borrowing at any OPAL or OhioLINK member library, an extensive array of online research databases, and online video and e-book collections. Materials not available via OPAL or OhioLINK are requested through Interlibrary Loan, a Loan Service that locates materials from libraries anywhere in the United States. Watson Library offers wireless internet throughout the building. The Library also provides access to photocopying machines, computers with campus network internet access, printers – both color and black and white, and digital scanning.

Special Collections (including College Archive and Quaker Collections)

The Library houses the College Archive and Quaker Collections.

The College Archive preserves materials that document the history and development of Wilmington College, such as student newspapers, yearbooks, committee minutes, photographs, and departmental files. Student organization donations of publications, documents, and media are encouraged. The Quaker Collections contain several thousand books, pamphlets, and selected periodical titles related to Quaker history, philosophy, thought, and practice. Items that circulate are housed in the Ellen C. Wright Quaker Reading Room. Original records of the Wilmington Yearly Meeting and the Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting are preserved in the Quaker Rare Collection, along with early published materials. Quaker family genealogies are on long-term loan to the Clinton County History Center.

Quaker Rare and College Archive Collections are available by appointment only. Contact the Public Services desk: 937 – 481 – 2345 or library@wilmington.edu to arrange an appointment with a Librarian.
