Ever wonder what Colby looked like before the move to Mayflower Hill?  Our new digital exhibit invites you to explore the College’s original, now-vanished Historic Downtown Campus through an immersive, interactive map and timeline. Browse historical photographs and learn more about the rich history of Colby’s early footprint in downtown Waterville.

This is just the first exhibit in our “Colby As Place” series, part of an initiative led by Colby Libraries that seeks to transform our archival materials into a dynamic, living history. Stay tuned this coming spring for the next exhibit in our series, where we’ll take a deep dive into the evolution of our current home on Mayflower Hill.
