The primary purpose of the Carleton College Archives is to gather, preserve, and make available for institutional reference and public research use documentation and information pertaining to the work, history, and development of Carleton College, or about programs, policies, activities, events, persons, or groups associated with the College.

The Archives is located on the Carleton College Campus in the Laurence McKinley Gould Library, Level 1, (entrance: Room 164). We are open when staff is present, which is generally Monday - Friday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment, except college holidays. Researchers are best advised to make an appointment in advance of a visit.

For more information on our holdings and using the archives feel free to contact us at archives@carleton.edu or 507-222-4270.
