The Newcomb Archives preserves historical printed and manuscript materials in relation to the lives of women in general, and to

the following subjects in particular:

  • history of women at Newcomb College and Tulane University,
  • women's education,
  • women in the Gulf South,
  • culinary history.

The Vorhoff Library was initially a conventional campus library which issued books and reading material to the campus students. It has now been recast as a non-circulating special collections library. This Library will work in conjunction with the Newcomb Archives and also house special collections on the subjects listed above.
