A-Z Databases

The Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Archive identifies, collects, and preserves materials that document the history, organization, policies, operations, mission, and goals of the college. The Archive ensures that materials with historical or enduring value are available for research and reference.

This database provides access to archival collection guides. An archival collection guide, sometimes called a finding aid, is guide to a group of archival records, personal papers, or manuscripts. It may be a brief summary, or a detailed description and inventory. The collection guide describes the origin, extent, dates, contents, topics, and organization of the records.


To access the collections found on the Rowan-Cabarrus Archive Finding Aid Database, please contact the College Archivist or visit the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Archive.
