McKeen Center for the Common Good: 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 McKeen Center for the Common Good, located in Banister Hall in the Chapel, was dedicated September 26, 2008. "Peculiar Obligations": Historical Perspectives on Bowdoin College's Commitment to the Common Good is a collection of student papers commemorating the dedication of the McKeen Center for the Common Good. The Center provides financial endowment and connections for students, faculty, staff, and the Bowdoin community, to serve the public good. All former Community Service Resource Center Programs (CSRC) are housed in the McKeen Center.
This collection contains announcements, articles, brochures, and clippings regarding the McKeen Center for the Common Good as well as the College's previous community service institution, the Community Service Resource Center.
