The Wilson Archives
The Wilson Archives (named for former headmaster and archivist Robert W. Wilson) is an extensive repository of SMUS history, featuring collections of artifacts and photographs spanning more than 125 years.
The St. Michaels University School archives serves the school community by protecting information of historical, legal and administrative value relating to the school. It also showcases the rich and significant history of the school to the community. In 2011, the collection of materials was officially named The Wilson Archives.
In addition to physical memorabilia, The Wilson Archives includes many thousands of items in a digitized collection, including photos, videos and publications as well as yearbooks, newspapers, magazines, posters, programs and books.
