Examining the content of the Oxford College archives, along with placing it in context as material collected by a small number of predominantly white staff, is critical to understanding the gaps in these collections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px;\">These absences in Oxford College records are indicative of both a historic lack of representation of people of color across campus, and the lack of a concerted effort to preserve their stories. There are very few images, manuscripts, or other records of people of color on the Oxford College campus prior to the integration of its student body, and those that do exist are often described in such a way that a researcher would not immediately identify them as containing content relating to or created by people of color.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1707322443101{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-top-width: 8px !important;border-right-width: 8px !important;border-bottom-width: 8px !important;border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #f2f1f0 !important;border-left-color: #0c2340 !important;border-left-style: ridge !important;border-right-color: #0c2340 !important;border-right-style: ridge !important;border-top-color: #0c2340 !important;border-top-style: ridge !important;border-bottom-color: #0c2340 !important;border-bottom-style: ridge !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 25px; text-align: center;\">As you explore the items below, think about the following questions:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-style: color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">What do you think the make-up of the student body of &#8220;Emory at Oxford&#8221; was like?
