The Scarlet Archive (Student Newspaper) (1939-2011) (In Progress)

Established in 1939, The Scarlet is Clark University's student-run newspaper. It is intellectually and editorially independent of the University. Our long-term goal for Clark's institutional repository is to digitally preserve and present the entirety of The Scarlet Archive for public access. We began this long-term project September 2025, starting with the 2010-2011 academic year and working backwards. This page will be updated continuously as new issues are digitized and prepared.

Every issue of The Scarlet dating from 2011-2012 academic year to the present can be found here, in our Student Works section.
