HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION The material in this collection
incorporates items previously scattered throughout the College in
departments such as Physical Plant, the President's Office, and the
Office of Public Affairs, as well as miscellaneous files in the
Archives and Special Collections. The Collection was assembled
between 1984 and 1987. During 1995-1997, additional material was
added to the collection and the listing was updated and revised.
The Buildings and Grounds Collection is constantly expanding. New
material has been added yearly and it will continue to grow as the
physical campus changes. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The
Buildings and Grounds Collection is arranged in ## series: 1.
BUILDINGS 2. GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES 3. ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPERS
4. DUPLICATE IMAGES AND PUBLICATIONS 5. STEREOGRAPH IMAGES 6.
FRAMED IMAGES 7. PHYSICAL PLANT RECORDS (RESTRICTED) Series
Descriptions (partial) SERIES 1: BUILDINGS, 1823 to date. This
section is arranged alphabetically by building name or by type and
use of structure. Material in this series includes the financial
documents (fund raising, gifts), architects' drawings, and accounts
of dedications, ground breaking, construction, and remodeling. For
many of the buildings, blueprints, drawings, and both exterior and
interior photographs dating as far back as the 1860s provide a
remarkably complete account. Buildings that have the same use have
been combined under one heading; for example, the Fraternity Houses
are grouped together and listed under the name of the national
fraternities that originally built the houses. Dormitories are
listed under “Student Housing,” and the list includes those
buildings that no longer exist but once formed part of the campus.
Faculty Houses are most often listed under the name of the person
from whom the house was purchased. The general heading Physical
Plant includes the College Garage, the Heating Plants and Tunnels,
the Service Building, and the Storage Barns. The BUILDINGS series
also includes several buildings which are not located on the
Amherst campus but which have had, or still have, a close
connection with Amherst College (e.g., Doshisha University). These
are listed separately at the end of Series 1.

Items of particular interest are listed separately; for example,
the Packardville Bell (see Box 11, Folder 47) and the granite
(gneiss) stone used so frequently (Box 10, Folder 13) in College
buildings. Structures that were once part of the campus, but which
no longer exist, are included in the collection, listed according
to their names. SERIES 2: GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES, 1827 to date.
Contains a range of information about the College's physical plant
and holdings that do not relate to a specific building. Series 2 is
arranged topically. GROUNDS AND PROPERTIES includes deeds of land,
surveys; information about off-campus holdings and properties;
campus views, including drawings and photographs; documentation of
the 1938 hurricane and its effects; records of memorials and
sculptures located on the campus; information regarding the
athletic grounds and playing fields; the Wildlife Sanctuary; and
other information regarding the general administration of campus
properties and functions such as campus utilities. This series
contains some drawings and paintings from the earlier years of the
College, including, in photocopy form, the work of Orra White
Hitchcock, wife of President Edward Hitchcock. (The originals of
Orra Hitchcock's works are located in the Edward and Orra White
Hitchcock Papers.) These representations date from the early 1820s
(see Box 18). Of special interest are various schemes for
developing the College Campus by Frederick Law Olmsted for the late
1890s and early 1900s and Arthur A. Shurcliff, in the 1920s (see
Grounds and Planting, Box 20). Several of the boxes and folders in
the BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Collection are supplemented by materials
that have been added over the years. This material has been
integrated into the Collection; cross-references to relevant
locations have been added to the listing.
