Tarsus Collection, 1934 – 1963 (inclusive)

Extent:: 60 boxes
Abstract:: The Tarsus Archaeological Collection contains documents from an excavation sponsored by Bryn Mawr College and directed by Hetty Goldman, a pioneering archaeologist. The Tarsus excavation began in 1934 and continued until early 1939, when World War II interrupted it; it resumed after the war in 1947 and 1948. The results of the excavation were published in yearly articles and in three volumes of text and plates on the major periods found in the excavation: the Hellenistic and Roman periods, the Iron Age, and the Neolithic through Bronze Age. The particular strength of the collection is the series of handwritten excavation notebooks, photographic negatives, and other documents from the excavation. There are also glass lantern slides that were used for teaching and public talks.

Helen Griffith papers, 1901-1956 (inclusive) 1901-1905 (bulk)

Extent:: 2 manuscripts (1 diary and 1 scrapbook)
Abstract:: Helen Griffith was a member of Bryn Mawr's class of 1905. After graduation, she taught English at Mount Holyoke, Bennett, and Tougaloo Colleges. In 1966, she published a biography of Sarah Dickey titled "Dauntless in Mississippi: The Life of Sarah A. Dickey." Griffith died in 1976. The Helen Griffith papers houses Griffith's college diary and scrapbook. The diary spans 1903-1910, but the bulk of the entries describe either her junior and senior years at Bryn Mawr (1903-1905) or her first year at Columbia University (1909). The diary offers a near-daily record of Bryn Mawr student life during the early twentieth century. The scrapbook depicts a broad overview of life on campus in the early twentieth century. Griffith collects a range of materials relating to administration, academics, and extracurricular activities. The scrapbook focuses on Griffith's college years (1901-1905) but also includes material through 1956, mostly documenting alumnae engagement and reunion events.
