The Archives is open weekdays to the Deerfield Academy community and other interested researchers. Collections are housed in closed stacks and do not circulate. Material in the Archives is unique and irreplaceable, any use that may jeopardize its preservation is prohibited. There is no eating or drinking while using archival material and only pencils or personal computers are approved for taking notes. Paper markers are available for indicating material to be photocopied.
The Academy Archives welcomes material from alumni, faculty and staff relating to their years at the school. We rely heavily on such donations to help document the long and rich history of Deerfield Academy. Of special value are scrapbooks, letters, records of student organizations, faculty organizations and committees, ephemera, audiovisual material, and photographs. If you have materials that you wish to donate, please contact the Archives.
Academy offices are required to review the contents of their files with the Archives staff before transfer to the Archives. Please see the records transmittal form and faculty donation guidelines for more information.
