Inside the Learning Resource Center, tucked away on the third floor far in the back, there is a room full of the past.

Gold letters hang above two dark oak doors with six glass windows that draw the eye. Inside lies a chamber of history for the school — Sacramento City College’s Special Collections Room — also known as the archives.

Caroline Harker, Special Collections librarian, has been the City College archivist for the past four years and says she has learned a great deal about the college’s history. It’s the past the college is about to celebrate as it celebrates its centennial beginning in fall 2016.

“In the words of former City College President Art Tyler,” she says, “‘We honor the history, the founders of SCC, and all the people who helped make this a great college over 100 years.’”

Harker says she is also fond of the college’s first administrator, Belle Cooledge, who wrote in the 1931 yearbook, The Pioneer, “My wish for you all is that you may take the spirit of endeavor and desire to succeed which we have watched grow in you, to your future undertakings, and that happiness and success may be your reward.”

Some students don’t even know this special room exists. Althea Bolden, a returning student majoring in Human Services, says she has very little knowledge about the school’s history, and is excited to learn that there is this resource on campus.

“There’s an archives here?” says Bolden, spinning in a full circle and surveying her surroundings in the LRC. “Wow, I didn’t know that. Where? I’m going to have to look into that.”

The Special Collections Room holds not only some of the school’s most precious treasures, but also tells some of the history of the city around it. In addition, it houses past issues of the Express newspaper, the Pioneer yearbook and college catalogs, all dating as far back as the early 1920s.

Most of the items in Special Collections have been donated by former students, faculty and staff as well as Sacramento residents.

Although there are some students who don’t know about the tucked-away, moderately sized room, other students are well aware of its existence.

Nedra VanHorn, a third-year student at City College, says she loves history and learned about the archives’ existence when her English class took a field trip to the library.

“It’s sort of strange that a good portion of the students don’t [know about it],” says VanHorn. “They don’t know what they’re missing out on.”

In the Special Collections Room, students can learn that City College was originally named Sacramento Junior College when it opened in 1916 on the upper floor of Sacramento High School. Forty-six students attended that first semester, and in 1918, six women became the first students to graduate from Sacramento Junior College.

The school relocated to its current location on the corner of Sutterville Road and Freeport Boulevard in 1926. It was renamed Sacramento City College in 1959. The Special Collections Room was created in the 1990s, when the new LRC replaced the college’s original library, as a place to keep record of the school’s important memories and mementos.

The Special Collections Room is more than just a room on the third floor of the LRC building, however, according to Harker. It’s a place that house’s the history, accomplishments and legacy of what the school has been in the past, and suggests what it will be in the future.

“This room holds the 100-year history and hopefully a hundred more years of it,” says Harker
