Institutional archives have been described as "those records and other evidences, written or pictorial, no matter what their physical form (or condition), associated with the history of a particular organization."

 

The SCC archival collections are a small, but representative, body of historical materials that illuminate the development of the college. The arrangement of the archives attempts to follow the organizational plan of the college so that materials may be accessed in a logical fashion according to their origins. Correspondence, minutes, records, and official reports from administrative offices, departments, committees, and student groups are added as they become available. Publications in the archives include yearbooks, college catalogs, newspapers, literary magazines, handbooks, directories, newsletters, and brochures published by the college since its establishment.

 

Faculty papers are limited at present to collections of the professional and personal papers of Charles Schumacher, E. Lewis B. Curtis, Anne E. Scott, Evelyn Hodgdon, and Jessica Alden. A more complete listing of materials is available by clicking here.

 

Photographs are alphabetically arranged in a personality file, a geographic file, and a subject file. Modern slides are grouped by subject and arranged in a chronological order. Thirteen thousand lantern slides, once used in the campus school, are shelved numerically and retrieved through a subject index.

 

Posters, advertisements, oversized items, and mementos are housed in case drawers in the Alden Room. For a complete listing click here.
