Source of Acquisition

2014/057 from Maria Morales, OC 1991.

Method of Acquisition

Records of the Third World House dormitory were received in 1997 (1997/77) and 2006 (2006/57). A member of the Class of 1991 gifted the non-textual materials from the International Women’s Day event held in Third World House featuring Native American women activists on March 1, 1988 (2014/57). Negatives in that accession were scanned by Archives staff and printed by a vendor in 2019. Historical materials on the establishment of Third World House were received in 2017 from the Oberlin Heritage Center.
