The College Archives are comprised of various materials dealing with the college from its start as a normal school to the present. The materials can be divided into two categories: historical and organizational.  Historical items include photographs, year books, school newspapers, scrapbooks, educational games, ephemera and blueprints. Organizational materials, both past and present, include records of various academic and non-academic departments, organizations and groups associated with the college, as well as correspondence, faculty publications, course schedules and descriptions, policies, event programs and catalogs. The archives do not include personal student or personnel information. The archives are not open for browsing and any individual interested in viewing archival materials or needing information contained in the archives should consult Susan Denault or Linda Kaufmann at 662-5325.

The Hoosac Valley Collection for Local History was established 35 years ago at MCLA. Gradually, additional materials have been added, largely through donations.  The collection is not open for browsing, but individuals interested in the collection should contact Linda Kaufmann or Susan Denault at 662-5325. Materials in the collection cannot be borrowed in person or through interlibrary loan.  Local history books in the collection can be searched through our online catalog here.
