College of Western Idaho

The College of Western Idaho Archives preserves materials that document the history of CWI and its community. Some historical materials may contain language, images, or perspectives that are harmful, offensive, discriminatory, or outdated. Their inclusion in the Archives does not reflect the values or views of the College of Western Idaho or the CWI Library.

The Archives provides access to historical materials as they were created to support research, education, and an accurate understanding of the past. We strive to describe materials respectfully and transparently while preserving their historical context. When appropriate, descriptions may provide additional context or identify potentially harmful content.

The CWI Archives is committed to equitable access and to continually improving how archival materials are described and presented. We welcome questions or concerns about materials or descriptions in the Archives and will review concerns in accordance with applicable College policies and archival practices.
