Series Description:

From the Series:

Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin Colleges (CBB) collaborate in a number of projects. Most of the files in this series concern an Off-Campus Study project, and a Library and Information Technology project (CBB2), both implemented with Mellon Grants. The bulk of the material is about the CBB Off-Campus Study programs in London, Quito, and Cape Town. Academic year 1999-2000 was the first year for London (managed by Colby) and Quito (managed by Bates); 2000-2001 was the first year for Cape Town (managed by Bowdoin). The CBB Quito center closed its doors at the end of fall semester 2003, and the London and Cape Town centers closed at the end of spring semester 2005. The closure of the CBB Off-Campus Study programs was mainly due to unpredictable student enrollments and high (shared) administrative costs.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

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.
