As of today, 6 years after the Boston University merger, the where-a-bouts and status of our historic archives and those of Lucy Wheelock, are unknown, 130 years of preservation has been said to "Be disposed and or unknown location", this includes our historic time capsule and many other items. BU has made it clear "they do not do archives, they collect art collections" - so they had "no need" to protect or preserve our archives, which sat rotting in the library of the old campus for 6 years. The library has been emptied, where did the books and collections go? Not to BU? Disposed?
The location of our yearbooks has been made known, in a broom closet of the alumni castle at BU, they have 3-4 copies of each and each book is filled with memorabilia, we are trying to work with BU to document the 50 yearbooks we do not have copies of, for the website. WE have asked for a set of the yearbooks to document and have proof of our history, faculty and alumni, however, this was declined by BU. What you see here has been saved from various websites and pages
(including the 20 year old FB page of Wheelock College recently deleted by BU, collected by Christopher King, 2003)
