| The Chronicles Reading Room consists
of a collection of letters, documents, books, and other printed items that
have been digitized and made available online. The materials presented
in the Reading Room have been selected by the Chronicles editors because
of their unique value in sharing the history of Dickinson College with
a wide audience. The contents of the Reading Room have been arranged
by format: Books, Articles, Speeches, Documents, and Letters. A brief
explanation of the types of items found in each category appears below.
As the Chronicles continues to
expand, so too will the Reading Room; new items will be added as they continue
to be published online. For this reason, more than one visit to the
Reading Room is recommended. |
