MGCCC Archives
The mission of the MGCCC Archives, founded in June 1992, is to preserve the history of the institution by collecting photographs, movies, video tapes, artifacts, and documents pertaining to students, faculty, staff, and administration of MGCCC since its establishment in 1911. These resources are used in the making of exhibits and are made available to the Institutional Relations Department and to the Alumni Foundation for research and publication. The research is also available to the general public.
