Genesee College Collection
Genesee College was founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church to train men and women for service in the Methodist Church. It was chartered in 1849 and operated in Lima, Livingston County, New York until 1875 when it closed due to lack of students, faculty and funds. The collection contains materials relating to the administrative and financial aspects of the college including endowments, records and account books as well as student and faculty records and materials printed for the college.
In February of 1873, Alexander Winchell was inaugurated as Syracuse University's first chancellor.

This site is dedicated to the 270 men, women and children whose lives were lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988.
Wendy Solomon Morton '89 lost a dear friend, Sandy Phillips, in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. After she visited the SU Archives she wrote and illustrated a children's book about the visit, Flipper and Dipper and the Treasures of 6 Bird.
This 40-page look at the history and traditions of SU is a wonderful way for alumni to remember their years on "The Hill", and a way to share those years with their children and grandchildren. It contains stories and images of SU traditions as told by SU Archivist Ed Galvin. Accompanying this soft cover book is Flipper and Dipper's plush, new friend Toni. Proceeds from the book, which is being distributed through the SU Bookstore, go to the Pan Am Flight 103 Archives to help preserve the legacies of those friends and loved ones who were lost.
