The WNCC Scottsbluff campus library houses
27 “treasure albums”. These scrapbooks are full of
newspaper clippings about alumni and events that
have happened at our college. The collection spans
41 years of institutional history from 1951 to 1992.
Our plan is to digitize the articles and preserve the
original articles and albums.
The alumni & friends committee along with
library staff will organize the project and are
looking for volunteers. Volunteers will be trained
in correct archival procedures and are an essential
component needed to complete this project.
If you would like to volunteer, call the
Alumni Office, 308.630.6571
