Director of the Moulton Union: Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The office of the director of the Moulton Union was created when the building was constructed. The director is responsible for dining services, bookstore, and other building operations. The original position was held by Donovan Lancaster who oversaw the 1964 expansion of the building before retiring in 1969.
Records contain general files on the daily operation of the Moulton Union Building as well as subject files on special and summer programs. Included is correspondence regarding the organization of events and programs from 1940-1973. The bulk of the material is from the mid 1960's.
