Newcomb Archives and Vorhoff Library

Newcomb Archives and Vorhoff Library, named after Harriot Sophie Newcomb and Nadine Vorhoff respectively, together form a GLAM institution which is part of Newcomb College Institute, at Tulane University, New Orleans, in the U.S. state of Louisiana.^[1]

The Newcomb Archives was founded in 1988 while the Nadine Vorhoff Library was established earlier in 1975.^[1]

The Newcomb Archives preserves historical printed and manuscript materials in relation to the lives of women in general, and to the following subjects in particular:^[1]

history of women at Newcomb College and Tulane University,
women's education,
women in the Gulf South,
culinary history.

The Vorhoff Library was initially a conventional campus library which issued books and reading material to the campus students. It has now been recast as a non-circulating special collections library. This Library will work in conjuction with the Newcomb Archives and also house special collections on the subjects listed above.^[1]
