THE ARCHIVES
The
archival program at the William and Anita Newman Library began on October 27,
1988. The library
mission statement identifies the archives as "the official repository
of the College's institutional history." In order to fulfill this mission
the Baruch College Archives collects, describes and preserves records generated
by administrative, faculty and staff offices of Baruch College, excluding records
produced by the registrar, personnel office and business offices.
The materials that the archives makes available for access include the Chancellor's Reports, University Reports, Minutes of the Board of Trustees, reports and minutes of the general faculty and faculty bodies such as faculty councils, policy statements, reports, and memoranda from the president, deans and other college administrators, college catalogs, publicity releases, in-house publications, ephemera, alumni materials, Baruch College Working Papers, videos and films of key Baruch College events, and CUNY reports and documents containing Baruch information.
The archives depend on the transfer of materials from the academic and administrative offices of the college and the gifts of alumni, faculty and friends.
BARUCHIANA
The Archives maintains a Baruchiana collection. Bernard Baruch, an 1889 graduate of City College, was a generous benefactor to the college which now bears his name. We collect photographs, memorabilia, books, artifacts, etc., which we can add to the sizable collection we have already amassed.
VIRTUAL ARCHIVES AND ONLINE EXHIBITS
A number of collections from the Archives are now available online through the Online Exhibits of the the library's Digital Collections page.
