Library Services FAQ: Special Collections FAQs

The space where the Reuel B. Pritchett Museum was housed for many years was converted into the Bridgewater College Campus Store.  There is no longer a permanent museum gallery.  Museum artifacts central to the educational mission are in preservation storage and are experiencing a revival as material culture teaching artifacts.  Artifacts visit classes. Museum artifacts are also shown in rotating exhibits and serve as a hands-on learning tool for Bridgewater College student assistants, interns, and volunteers. Museum artifacts are available to view by appointment.
