CARD
CATALOG
When
it was a smaller collection, archivists provided item-level subject access
to the College Archives. The card catalog that was produced is available
for use in the Reading Room. The card catalog ceased to be added to in
the mid-1970s. This catalog is arranged by subject and points to specific
items, photographs or files found in the Archives collections.
