Dartmouth Preparing for 250th Anniversary

Dartmouth in Hanover, NH is preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding in 1769. The anniversary web page provides information on scheduled events, a short YouTube video, "Dartmouth 250: Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future," and other resources.

A new book, Dartmouth Undying: A Celebration of Place and Possibility, edited by David Shribman and Jim Collins is available now for pre-order.

There will also be a “Hindsight is 20/19,” 26-episode podcast series celebrating Dartmouth’s history. Library staffers and students identified 25 tangible pieces, one per decade, central to the institution's history and will begin offering podcast episodes on each item in January 2019. You can read more about the series in an article by Florida Huff, "New podcast series uses artifacts to highlight College history," from for The Dartmouth newspaper

or in a post written by Charlotte Albright, "Hindsight Is 20/19: Podcast Series Tells Story of Dartmouth’s 250 Years."

The Dartmouth Archives also offers a rich array of institutional resources including oral histories and photographs.
