Occidental College (Oxy) Special Collections and College Archives (SCCA) extends the opportunity to students, faculty, staff, and community partners to participate in our Exhibits Program. This program seeks to advance the Library’s mission to support teaching, learning, research, and other forms of intellectual engagement. We aim to increase the visibility of and present original research using SCCA collections, recognize significant gifts to the Library, and develop collaborations between the Library, campus partners, and the community.
