Welcome to the Montgomery Bell Academy Archives

The mission of the school archives is to collect, identify, preserve, and make available for research purposes the historical records of Montgomery Bell Academy. At the present time, archival materials are housed in the Patrick Wilson Library in the Archives Display Room as well as in a locked vault adjacent to the display room.

Collections: All items in the MBA Archives are catalogued in record groups . Included in these record groups are: historical documents, letters, scrapbooks, memorabilia, recordings, architectural plans of the campus, videotapes and DVD's, as well as old school yearbooks, newspapers and literary magazines.

Accessing Materials: Due to the historical value of MBA's archival collection, materials are held in closed storage areas. It is thus necessary to consult Ms. Tilley or Mrs. Bramwell for access to any items. MBA faculty interested in having students use materials from the school archives can arrange for class visits as well as individual research consultations.

Donations: The MBA Archives staff welcomes donations of letters, documents, photographs, scrapbooks, memorabilia, and other items that reflect Montgomery Bell Academy's rich history.

Hours: The archives are generally open Mon.-Fri., 8:00-3:30 during the school year and by appointment during the summer months. When preparing to use the archives, confirm the hours with the librarian.
