Wilson | Young Archives & Special Collections

The McDonogh School Archives was established in 1989 and is the official repository for McDonogh School’s institutional records. It collects, appraises, preserves, and makes accessible, non-current, inactive records of permanent value that document the history, mission, and organization of McDonogh School (1873-present).

The Archives is also home to hundreds of linear feet of special collections including manuscript, photograph, book, map, art, and artifact collections documenting the history and development of McDonogh School, as well as other unique primary source materials of national and international scope.

Collections range from student organizations, personal papers, and school military uniforms of early McDonogh students, to a collection of etchings by British artist and illustrator, Eileen Alice Soper (1905-1990).

October is American Archives Month
