Lyle E. Patton Archives

The Lyle E. Patton Archives contains two main collections, the Cogswell Polytechnical College and the Cogswell Family archives.

The Cogswell College collection identifies, collects, preserves, and makes available records, photographs, memorabilia of special events, and other items of enduring value that document and provide context for the history and functioning of the college from 1887 to the present. The Cogswell Family collection documents the history of the Cogswell family through monographs and other documents.

Patrons may be supervised and/or restricted in their handling and use of materials. The archivist may deny access to materials if the use of such materials is considered detrimental to their continued existence.

Access to the Archives collections is by request to the Librarian, Bruce Dahms, during regular business hours.
