Library, Old and New

25 01 2008

NHLAs the library moves toward a major renovation/expansion project, it is helpful to understand the history of the facility. To help toward that end, Maria Kessler McShane, College Archivist, has put together a Powerpoint slideshow that documents the evolution of the library at 392 Western Ave.

This slideshow shows the new building in 1950 and the process of adding an addition in the early 1980s. In between we see how the sixties and seventies had their impact on interior design. This slideshow is available on the library website (link to document).
