Wagner Archive - Mission
The Wagner Archive is dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of Wagner College by collecting, preserving, and making accessible materials documenting the development of the College from its 19th-century beginnings as a Lutheran proseminary in Rochester, N.Y., through its move to Staten Island in 1918, and its growth and development into the renowned institution it is today.
Wagner Archive - Guidelines and Policies
The Archive houses a unique body of materials containing information of administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical value to the institution. With this in mind, the Archive welcomes donations of materials that further the understanding and appreciation of this history.
The list below broadly identifies the material collected by the Wagner Archive. It is by no means exhaustive, but serves to guide the Wagner community in understanding the material housed and maintained in the Archive.
The Wagner Archive generally does not collect non-documentary material, such as clothing, artifacts, or other memorabilia unless it is of unique historical value.
Please be sure to give full credit to the Horrmann Library, Wagner College for all content accessed in the Wagner College or Markham Archives.
