Library Site

Our photography collection includes both print and digitized images. Many of them are official photographs (taken by college or district photographers for specific publications), but others were taken by faculty or staff at informal gatherings. All of them document the life of Contra Costa College and its community.

The photographs used in this web site came from the Archive’s collection of “loose” photographs, as well as from yearbooks, college catalogs, course schedules and other publications.  A chronological list of these pictures follows:
