A Word About the Images Used on the Site As you browse the pages of this site, you will notice that the images at the top change randomly. We have used almost fifty images in the site, but they represent only a tiny sampling of art and Americana belonging to two of Vassar's major collections, the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and the Special Collections Department. The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center contains over 12,500 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and photographs. The art center, designed by Cesar Pelli, is home to one of the finest teaching collections in the nation. Students in the American Culture program as well as in departments and programs across the curriculum take advantage of this unique academic resource. The Archives and Special Collections Department of the Vassar College Libraries is the principal repository of the College's noteworthy collections of rare books, manuscripts, archival records of Vassar College, and other special materials. The collections are available to students and are an important resource for those researching American culture and history. |
