The College Archives holds material that documents governance and administration, student life and cultural contributions, and the development of College buildings and grounds.

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.
