Series II: Newspapers, 1887-2010

The materials in this collection were salvaged immediately following RBI’s closure, then known as the Everest Institute. The school’s history during the 20th century is well documented by all the forms of materials in this collection, particularly after 1933 when it celebrated its 70th anniversary. Courses and course content are exhibited in the course catalogs which range from 1900 to 2005 as well as the textbooks which cover a wide range of subjects. The photographs depict classrooms, sports teams, public events, and faculty members going as far back as 1887. The scrapbooks largely contain news clippings of alumni in the mid-1900s as well as some faculty correspondence. Notable topics include the 70th, 75th, 100th, and 150th anniversaries of the Institute, the Alumni Association, school sports teams, and service members in World War Two, including participants in Civilian Pilot Training.
