The Vassar Encyclopedia is an online resource for information relating to the history of the college.  It presents articles of varying length and on diverse topics, written by a wide array of authors.  Information about the encyclopedia is available in the Preface and in the Guide to the Encyclopedia.

Please note: until January 2023, the encyclopedia was under the direction of Vassar’s College Historian, but it is no longer an active project. No editing is being done, nor are additional articles being added.
