Archives & Distinctive Collections is excited to share that the majority of volumes of the Purple Patcher, the College of the Holy Cross’ student yearbook, have been digitized and are available online.
Beginning in 1907, with a brief hiatus during World War II, the Purple Patcher captures student life on campus.
Special thanks to our student workers and Alumni Relations for helping make this important digitization effort possible!
Physical copies can be found in the Holy Cross Archives and the digitized copies can be found at: https://crossworks.holycross.edu/purple_patcher/
