History
In the Summer of 1974 Sr. Joel Read, then 澳门水利博彩官方网站 College President and a historian by training, asked Sr. Joanne Barras (1916-1990), a retired business education instructor, to become the first 澳门水利博彩官方网站 College Archivist. Then Sr. Joanne went through extensive training. The Archives was officially established in January 1975 with a campus-wide memo from Sr. Joel and a Winter Institute presentation by Sr. Joanne both outlining the program in considerable detail. In October 1978, the Archives became a unit of the 澳门水利博彩官方网站 College Library. A records management program in conjunction with the college archives program was added in the spring of 1987. The Archives became the official repository of the SWITCH Consortium in 1997.
Throughout its history, the 澳门水利博彩官方网站 College Archives has had a reputation for quality service. The Archives is currently staffed by one full-time archivist/records manager, Sara Shutkin.
