Artifact Catalog

A catalog of artifacts across various special collections has been developed as a resource for professors and students to assist in research and presentations or to serve as learning aides.

Currently, this catalog consists of select items from the James DeWeerd Collection of Rare Documents, the Donald Schramm Collection of Rare Coins and Bills, the Historical Newspapers Collection, the Wengatz Collections (African and Oriental), the Dale Heath Collection, the Mabel Michael Collection, the Angola Collection, and the Ancient Coin Collection.

These items can be viewed in the Taylor University Archives Lobby during open hours or by appointment. On a case-by-case basis, artifacts can be brought into the classroom by the request of a Taylor University faculty member. (Cases will be decided by condition of artifact, external weather conditions, staff availability, and lead time.)
