In July 1960, the College Council requested the formation of an Archives Committee to ensure that the College’s history and memories were preserved for future generations. The task was taken up by the Old Collegians’ Club with Edna Cornell (Pryor 1924) as Convener.
Through the efforts of this Archives Committee and later, the staff who have held the position of College Archivist, the MLC Archives are a comprehensive and vitally important resource for the College. The ongoing role of the College Archivist aims to continue the collection, preservation and promotion of items relating to MLC’s history in order to safeguard the integrity and significance of the collections, which document the progress of MLC and women’s education in Australia.
