The Williston Northampton School Archives actively collect and preserve source materials for the documentation and study of all aspects of Williston Northampton’s history, from the founding of our parent institutions, Williston Seminary (1841) and Northampton School for Girls (1924), to the present day. The Archives are valuable not only as a repository of documents and memorabilia, but as a teaching resource. They are a means through which our students and alumni can come to appreciate the values and traditions which have shaped the school we know today.<\/p>\n

Just as the school is central to the lives of today’s students, thousands of alumni and alumnae have been educated and inspired by Northampton School for Girls, Williston Academy, Williston Seminary, and The Williston Northampton School.\u00a0 Whatever the name of the institution you attended, you share a history — indeed, Williston Northampton history is, in part, your <\/em>history.<\/p>\n

The Archives’ mission, then, is not merely to preserve, or even to inform, but to share<\/em> the school’s long and rich history, one full of tradition, innovation, and many splendid characters.\u00a0 Sharing is essentially multidirectional: we hope that you will consider these pages your own, and share your stories.\u00a0 Within this blog we hope not only to inform, but to entertain, even occasionally to infuriate.<\/p>\n

We seek not only your memories, but school documents and memorabilia of all kinds.\u00a0 At present we are especially interested in student journals and letters, academic work, photographs, and would like to fill gaps in certain school publications, notably certain issues of Northampton School’s Annual Catalogue, Pegasus<\/em>, and The Willistonian<\/em>.\u00a0 Please don’t let these important pieces of our history be lost to future generations!\u00a0 If you have material you would like to share, or stories to tell, please email\u00a0archives@williston.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
