document the history of this college.

If so, please let Debbie or Clark know if you would like to donate
these items to the Archive collection.
If any faculty and staff would like to be involved in this project,
so do not hesitate to contact Debbie or Clark. We need your knowledge
of RCC history, as well as past faculty, staff, and students.
We also need your technical knowledge in areas such as computer
scanning, preservation, and software. This is a large project,
so there are many ways in which you could contribute.
Be sure to mark your calendars for July 13, at 11:00am for our
first interest meeting. There will be discussion of the work to
be done. |
