Biographical / historical:

Penfield Library's Archives & Special Collections unit focuses on collecting, preserving, and providing access to materials about the culture and history of SUNY Oswego, Oswego County, and New York State.

Opened in 1968, Tyler Hall functions as the main academic building on campus for the Art, Music, and Theatre Programs. It also serves as the home to the Tyler Art Gallery and Waterman Theater, both of which are used by the Oswego community and the academic departments for exhibitions and performances. Tyler Hall also serves as host to the Lab Theatre.

Hewitt Union, renamed Hewitt Hall in 2006, is located to the north of Culkin Hall and south of the Academic Quad. Hewitt housed most of the student organizations until the campus center opened in 2006.

The Ballroom in Sheldon Hall hosts public events and performances.

Custodial history:

One oversize cardboard box containing all the posters was stored in Room 10 for an undetermined period of time. Tyler Art Gallery was written on the box. Some or all of the collection was sent by Karen Dixon in the Alumni Office with no date.
