Huron University College students visit on October 20


Huron University College students visit the College Archives


On October 20 we will again host Dr. Nina Reid-Maroney’s students from Huron University College in London, Ontario for a session on Hiram Wilson, Oberlin, and the Underground Railroad. They will also have sessions with Ed Vermue, Special Collections Librarian and Julie Weir, Reference and Academic Commons Assistant, on relevant 19th Century anti-slavery materials in the Library.  

The Oberlin College Archives has been partnering with the History Department at Huron College for many years, and in 2013 that partnership resulted in a Huron College website in honor of Hiram Wilson and his letters at the Oberlin College Archives and the Amistad Research Center.
