LMC Archives

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Lake Michigan College Archives is to collect, organize and maintain historical and administrative records that document the growth and development of the College since its 1946 founding. This documentation includes catalogs, handbooks, reports, yearbooks, videos, photographs, brochures, student publications, accreditation materials, advertising, news articles, and minutes of meetings of the Board of Trustees and other committees. See also the William Hessel Library Selection Policy.

BORROWING MATERIALS
The LMC Archives are available to students, staff, alumni, and the community. Materials are generally used within the Archives under the supervision of the Archivist or a Librarian. To ensure the preservation of materials for future use, Archives requires the following of all patrons:

  • All archive material leaving the Archives must be signed out on the Archive Check-Out Log located in the Archivist's office (L101).
  • Materials must be returned by the date specified on the Archive Check-Out Log.
  • Copies and photographs should not be mounted on paper, cardboard, etc. or use glue, rubber cement, tape, metal paper clips or adhesives of any kind.
  • Do not write on any materials; do not put self-adhesive notes on originals.
  • Use care in handling materials: do not put fingerprints on the surface; do not bend or fold.
  • In all cases, publication or display of Archive materials must carry the credit line: "from the collection of The Lake Michigan College Archives."
  • Provision of copies does not constitute permission to publish.

Materials required for research may be temporarily held at the Circulation Desk for easier access; they must be signed out for each use. LMC employees may borrow most materials; each item must be listed on the Archive Check-Out Log. The Archivist reserves the right to determine whether or not materials may leave the Archives. The Archivist also reserves the right to provide photocopies, electronic files, or CD-ROMs of the requested information. Due to its confidential nature, some material requires permission from the appropriate office before viewing (i.e. Presidential Notes). See the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This has an impact on the use of Archives material.

DONATIONS
See the William Hessel Library Gifts Policy. The Archivist reserves the right to determine usefulness of donated materials. Please call or email before sending materials to the Archives unless prior arrangements have been made.
