Holland College Digital Archives

An amazing collection of material from the School of Visual Arts at Holland College which existed from the mid 1970's to the early 1990's is now available from the Holland College Digital Archives.

There are over 200 items related just to the School - and can be located by doing a search with the words Visual Arts as search terms.

A grant from the President's Innovation Fund allowed Library Services to pilot and test software for building a digital archive. We have digitized content and have started the process of transferring our digitized materials to the online archive. Please send your questions or comments to library@hollandc.pe.ca.

We'd like to thank the members of the Association of Holland College Retirees for their support of the project and Natalie Hunt, our summer intern, who digitized much of the material in the archive.
