Search the Collections

The Davis Museum and Cultural Center is committed to making information about its collections widely accessible. The Museum has created a searchable online collections database for students, faculty, and staff on-campus. This database will be accessible to off-campus constituents in the fall of 2007.

The creation of a comprehensive database, reflecting the whole range of the collections, will require significant resources over a few years. As of the Fall 2006 semester, we have digitized about half the collection and will continue the process until images of the entire collection are online. New images and data will be updated daily. Please keep in mind that we are still in the process of cleaning up our data, therefore, please contact Bo Mompho (bmompho@wellesley.edu or ext. 2052) if you find errors or missing information.
