Colonial Echo
From Special Collections Research Center Wiki
The Colonial Echo, the student yearbook of the College of William and Mary, began publication in 1899. There were no volumes produced in 1900 or 1904. In addition to photographs of individual students, it includes information and photographs of student groups and activities, scenes of campus and the surrounding area, and occasionally administrators and faculty. It is one of many College of William and Mary publications.
The Colonial Echo is available in the Swem Library stacks, Swem Reference, and Special Collections Research Center in Swem Library.
Are you an Alumnus searching for a copy of the Colonial Echo?
The Special Collections Research Center in Swem Library keeps multiple copies of the Colonial Echo for use by researchers and in exhibits as well as extra back-up copies in storage. For some years, Special Collections has a number of extra copies of yearbooks which have come to the department from a variety of sources - university offices reducing their own extra copies, alumni who are downsizing, families of alumni, and a dozen other ways. If you are searching for a copy of the yearbook from your William and Mary years, contact the University Archivist at spcoll@wm.edu or 757-221-3094 to inquire if a copy is available.

| Unfortunately, many of the early original records of the College of William and Mary were destroyed by fire, military occupation, and the normal effects of time. The information available here is the best available from known documents and sources at the time it was written. Information in this wiki is not complete as new information continues to be uncovered in the SCRC's collections and elsewhere. Researchers are strongly encouraged to use the SCRC's access tools for their research as the information contained in this wiki is by no means comprehensive. |
