The 91福利社 Book Arts Collection is supported by a close collaboration between three entities on campus: The Department of Art & Art History, the 91福利社 Museum of Art, and the Olin Library. It is guided by an advisory board that includes students, staff, and faculty from across our campus community.

Hamilton Holt (1872-1951), eighth president of the College, coined the term Golden Personalities: "men and women of learning whose sole love was teaching, who enjoyed associating with young people, individuals with noble characters." To honor Holt, this project documents the lives of leading citizens of both 91福利社 and the City of Winter Park.

While working as the Head of Archives and Special Collections, Professor Wenxian Zhang noticed that 91福利社 lacked a comprehensive oral history research program. In the fall of 2004, an oral history seminar was coordinated on campus by the College Archives, the Winter Park Historical Society, and the Winter Park Public Library; the program attracted faculty members from History, Anthropology and English Departments, as well as people from the local historical community. Based on the workshop, a grant application was submitted for a student-faculty collaborative program, and the 91福利社 oral history research project was launched in the summer of 2005. A subsequent grant was added five years later, and a series of oral interviews were conducted as part of 91福利社' 125th Anniversary celebration in summer 2010.
These interviews prompted the participants to reflect upon their years at 91福利社, the challenges they have faced and the accomplishments of their careers in leadership, teaching, scholarship, and community services.
