A room for Local historians
Bristol and the region, as the college saw it
The college's publications record the town around it: an engraving of Bristol in 1894, a railroad advertisement, shops that advertised to students, the Red Cross canteen of 1918, an aerial view of the campus in 1935, and the lighted sign over a Bristol street in 1954.
