In 2016, the Georgetown University Archives marks the 200th anniversary of its founding. This is the last in the series of four celebratory online exhibits from the Archives, which have looked at Georgetown at 50-year intervals, starting with 1816. It examines aspects of Georgetown in 1966, including academic life; campus development; and attitudes towards women, who at that time could enroll in every school except the College of Arts and Sciences.
Drawing upon records which the Archives preserves and makes available for use, the four exhibits as a whole trace the growth of Georgetown as a school and as a place between 1816 and 1966. You can visit the three previous exhibits on the Library’s “past exhibitions” page.
