The Sarah Lawrence College student newspaper is invaluable as a window into student life at the College. The following years are digitized, available in PDF format, and are keyword searchable. As issues are digitized, they will become available here.
The Sarah Lawrence College Library maintains a digital institutional repository of scholarly, educational, and creative works of the Sarah Lawrence College Community. It is the repository for Theses submitted at the college, as well as selected undergraduate work, and digitized archival materials. Digitized Archival collections include our Protest and Activism Collection.

Off-campus community members will need to click "Log in through Your Library" from the top of the page to access the materials through their SLC account. Alumni and non-affiliated users should contact the archives for information about accessing photographs from the collection.
