Oberlin College Historic Portraits
Additional Resources
Additional biographical information on many of the subjects of the portraits can be found in a two-volume work titled A History of Oberlin College: From its Foundation through the Civil War authored by Robert Samuel Fletcher in 1943. Of some value too is John Barnard’s From Evangelicalism to Progressivism at Oberlin College, 1866-1917 (Columbus, 1969) and Donald M. Love’s Henry Churchill King of Oberlin (New Haven, 1956). These titles are available at the Main Library of Oberlin College or for use on site at the Archives. Additionally, reference is made to an entry in the 23-volume set of the American National Biography (ANB), John A Garraty and Mark C. Carnes, general editors, published in 1999. When an entry exists, the citation appears in the Biographical Notes field.
