Noyes Collection

The Noyes Collection was donated by Henry H. Noyes in 1995. The Noyes family has long been connected to the college. Emily Noyes (Class of 1874) was the first female graduate of the college.

The collection includes the manuscript for Henry Noyes' China Born, a book that documents his life as part of a third-generation Presbyterian missionary family. Primary source material, such as family correspondence and photographs, accompany his working notes. This collection is unprocessed to date, with the exception of China Born, which has been catalogued and appears in the CONSORT and OhioLINK databases.
