Archives Center

The Archives Center preserves historical resources that document the origin, development, growth, history and achievements of the College, including its students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni, and local community citizens. It is an intrinsic part of library services at the Benjamin F. Payton Learning Resources Center. The Archives Center is located in room 106, on the court (ground) level of the library

The Archives Center serves as the corporate memory for the history of Benedict College. The Center seeks donations of any materials related to the College’s history and will accept such donations from alumni, students, faculty, staff, and others. The Library encourages faculty members to donate their research papers and manuscripts for inclusion in the archives special collections.
