About the Project

The Vassar Encyclopedia Project was concieved by Vassar Historian Elizabeth A. Daniels '41. Work began on the Encyclopedia in the summer of 2004. Articles are written by Daniels herself, her student assistants, summer Ford Scholars, and alumnae/i, faculty, students, and staff with a special knowledge of a particular area of Vassar history. Many people have generously donated their time to this project.
