Archives

Welcome to the Archives of The Mabee-Simpson Library. We strives to preserve and present the history of Lyon College.

Special collections include the John Quincy Wolf Folklore Collection, the Stroud Collection of historic papers, the Craig Genealogy Collection, the Folklore and Oral History Collections, the Presbyterian Collection, the Kennard Collection, and collections of rare books and historic photographs. The Regional Studies Center also serves as caretaker for the Grigsby House, a nineteenth-century cabin on the Lyon College campus.

Additional Folk Songs
Since the Wolf Collection was first made available to the public, more folk songs have been contributed by people who saw the web page and wanted to add more songs or verses that they knew from relatives and friends. Here are their contributions, with our sincere appreciation for the effort they made to write them down and send them to us.
