Method of Acquisition

Previous to February 2010, student publications were held in three locations at Oberlin College: Archives, Special Collections, and library open stacks. With the incorporation of the Archives as a department within the Library in 2008, projects to eliminate duplication were initiated. Student assistant Daniella Polyak inventoried student publications throughout the library and assembled two nearly complete sets of print issues for arrangement and administration by Archives. (The Library will continue to provide current issues of continuing student publications on the main level in Azariah’s Café.) Materials pertaining to student publications in Series 3 were previously interfiled with print issues in Archives. In July 2010, these were pulled and arranged by title in a separate series. In 2015 the Archival Assistant solicited additional, new publications: Abomination, and those by the Oberlin Comics Collective.
