Wellesley Library To Go Service
Starting in Clapp, Art, and Music Libraries on February 8th, we will be offering Wellesley Library To Go!
This "curbside" pick-up service lets faculty, staff, and on-campus students who want to check out physical items request those items and arrange to collect them from outside the libraries. This will help protect everyone's health and safety by decreasing the number of people in the libraries.
Requests can be submitted using this form. When the items have been located, the requestor is notified via email and sent another form to arrange the pick-up. The items are checked out and bagged (bags courtesy of the Friends of the Library) and left outside the library at a prearranged time. The pick-up location for Clapp is outside the Knapp entrance. The locations for Art and Music are outside the libraries (but inside the building). For additional help, watch this how to video.

Documenting the Wellesley College COVID-19 Experience
The Wellesley College archives is excited to announce the launch of "Documenting the Wellesley College COVID-19 Experience." This project aims to crowdsource born digital materials related to the Wellesley College community's experience with life during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The archives is seeking donations from members of the Wellesley College community, including staff, faculty, students, and alumnae. Donations can include anything from artistic endeavors such as poetry, to assignments that had to be transitioned amidst switching to virtual teaching, to photographs - anything that speaks to this unprecedented time and how it has affected life for the Wellesley community. Donations will become a part of the official college record of this time we are living through and will be preserved as a part of our emerging COVID-19 collection.
The archives needs your help! Please submit donations here: https://sites.google.com/wellesley.edu/documentingcovid-19/home
We hope to collect material from the most diverse pool of community members as possible. If you have technology questions about submitting, or general questions about the process, please feel free to contact us at archives@wellesley.edu or 781-283-3745. Donations will be accepted on an ongoing basis.
