Â鶹ӰÊÓ Archives staff are available to assist with research questions and with photoduplication requests. We have a number of collections which document the history of the College including official publications.
Research Services: We are here to help!
The Archives will provide research assistance for faculty, students, and staff of Â鶹ӰÊÓ and The Claremont Colleges community as well as visiting researchers. This service will be provided for free for the first hour. Thereafter, visiting patrons are charged $20/hour. We have a range of collections including faculty and President's papers, printed books and ephemera about Pomona, and official publications such as The Student Life and The Metate, Pomona's yearbook.
Copies, Scans, & Digital Photography
Â鶹ӰÊÓ Archives staff will reproduce unrestricted materials for research purposes by request for Â鶹ӰÊÓ faculty, students, staff, and visitors. There is no self-service photocopying or scanning in the Archives. The use of personal digital cameras is permitted at the discretion of the archivists. When taking photographs of archival materials, please disable the flash on your camera.
- To request copies or high res scans, please email archives@pomona.edu. Scans will be emailed to you and photocopies can be mailed. There will be an additional mailing charge. For large or complex orders, please contact the Archives well in advance of your deadline.
