Series Description:

The first institute to be conducted at Bowdoin College was the Institute of Modern History, April 16-28, 1923, which consisted of a series of lectures and conferences by authorities in the field of international relations. The lectures were open to the public, and were followed by conferences the day after the lecture that were open only to undergraduates. No attendance was taken at the conference, and faculty were not present. The first institute was so successful that every two years it was followed by other institutes on subjects of broad, general interest. The Biennial Institutes continued through 1968, but at times after 1941, more than two years passed between institutes. This series includes invitations, programs, correspondence, abstracts and text of some addresses, and newspaper clippings.

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.
