Marygrove College Library

When Marygrove College closed in 2019, the Board of Trustees donated the library to the Internet Archive for digitization and preservation. With more than 70,000 books and nearly 3,000 journal volumes, the Geschke Library is a well-curated, world class collection with strengths in the humanities, education, and social justice.  Video about the reopening online.

The collection reflects the strong historical and cultural influences of the city of Detroit, bringing a uniquely Black American perspective into the light for access and preservation. Learn more about the donation.
