College Archives Program
Discover the rich history of Harford Community College.
The College Archives holds material that documents governance and administration, student life and cultural contributions, and the development of College buildings and grounds. You can find records of Harford’s reorganizations; student newspapers; Board of Trustees minutes; programs from theatrical productions; records of shared governance; the work of the curriculum committee; yearbooks and literary magazines; and much more.
The archives are located on the first floor of the Library. Visit the Research Help Desk on the second floor for more information.
The College Archives are the center of our College’s institutional memory and a guide to its past. The role of the College Archives is to select, arrange, preserve, and provide access to materials of historical value concerning the development and growth of Harford Community College. This includes, but is not limited to, administrative publications and papers; student materials and publications; photograph collections; and official publications such as handbooks, course catalogs, and yearbooks. Archivists carefully follow rigorous standards to select materials appropriate to the mission of the Archives.
