The majority of the Library Archives is devoted to documenting the history of Kingsborough Community College since its founding in 1964. Sorting the many years of archival materials into detailed and indexed categories is an ongoing project still in its early stages.
Below you can find a table with information on exactly what materials on the history of Kingsborough can be found in the Archives. Popular archival materials (such as Kingsborough's yearbook, the Odyssey) can also be found in the dropdown menu on the KBCC History tab. If you want further information on any of these items, please contact the Archives Librarian at extension 5971.
