Articles in Beloit Weekly Free Press and Beloit Daily News, 1897, 1916, 1972

This artificial collection is arranged into series based on building name. Where name changes took place but the building itself was not changed (e.g. Carnegie Library becoming the World Affairs Center), or where named additions or changes were made to existing buildings (e.g. Field House and Sports Center) those names are collocated into one series. Replacement buildings (e.g. Chamberlin Hall of Science and Center for the Sciences) are listed separately.

Series 19 (Miscellaneous Buildings) contains materials related to buildings with too few records to merit their own series, along with materials relating to non-building structures or areas on campus such as the Senior Bench and Hales Plaza. Many of these folders contain only reference notes from Robert K. Richardson and Helen D. Richardson from their research for his unpublished Beloit College history book.

Series 20 (General Information) is comprised of records about campus buildings in general, such as reports and correspondence regarding facilities installation and maintenance.

Included in most series are dedication and cornerstone event materials, construction correspondence and planning documents (proposals, specifications, budget and financial reports, blueprints, etc.), remodeling and renovations planning documents where applicable, news articles, College promotional material, and information about the architects. For the most part, these materials are presented in alphabetical order.

Certain series have materials unique to them, such as Eaton Chapel's collection of Order of Daily Chapel Service cards, Middle College's historical landmark documents, and materials relating to a fundraising solicitation ad featuring D.K. Pearsons. Eaton Chapel and Scoville Hall both sustained damage from fires, and the collection holds many news articles written about the incidents and their aftermaths.
