About
The Simmons University Archives collects, preserves, and makes accessible materials which document the history and development of Simmons University. The Simmons University Archives was established in 1974 and was dedicated in memory of Colonel Miriam E. Perry Goll ('30) in 1980. The Archives welcomes Simmons students, faculty, alumni, and administrators, as well as other interested researchers to visit the archives and explore the history of Simmons University.
Previous digital collections have highlighted the University's traditions, student life, activism, and more. Digital initiatives are supported by the Simmons University Archives and Beatley Library, and future digital exhibitions will continue to focus on the unique histories and traditions of Simmons University.

The Buildings@Simmons digital exhibit was curated and written by Hannah Gershone, Simmons University Archives & Digital Initiatives Fellow, and edited by Kelsey Kolbet, University Archivist, in 2026. Research on Simmons University's built environment was conducted by Hannah Gershone, Abby Huntley, and Zoe Johnson.
