This guide is meant to introduce you to visiting the Carleton College Archives.  The primary purpose of the Carleton College Archives is to gather, preserve, and make available documentation related to the work, history, and development of Carleton College. 
 
We want students to feel comfortable seeking help for archival research and using the archives.  You'll find information about hours, finding aids, and guidelines for using the Archives.
