Digital Collections
Welcome to the Digital Collection! It is our goal to make as many archival resources available to you as we can. Priority collections we plan to digitize include serial publications generated by the college, such as academic catalogues, yearbooks, and various student publications. We are pleased to introduce our first of many digital collections, the Albion College Pleiad.
Take a walk down memory lane with our student newspaper, the Albion College Pleiad! This digital collection of high resolution, fully searchable PDFs spans December 1883 to April 1999. Simply browse items chronologically or search for a particular year or keyword.
See below for complete instructions on how to search the Albion College Pleiad Digital Collection.
For more recent issues, check out the current Albion Pleiad website with coverage from April 2009 - Present. Please note this gap in the documentation (2000-2009). Please contact us for assistance if you do not find the date of publication you need.
