Have you ever wished that there was a directory - a book, perhaps, or a website - where you could search for your classmates by name in order to find out what they look like? A book of faces, maybe? Well, if you were a student between 1949 and 2008, Middlebury had your back.
Special Collections is located on the lower level of Davis Family Library. View the Middlebury College campus map for more information.
We are open by appointment only. Holiday and summer hours vary. See the Davis Family Library hours for details.
