Background

The Digital Repository project of the Jane Bancroft Cook Library was designed to create a digital library of locally produced materials for use by the broader scholarly community. The project goal is to build an electronic platform for depositing, accessing and archiving institutionally produced materials. These materials include archival materials, teaching objects, research papers and articles, and data in the form of digital text documents, images, sound recordings, and other digital assets created by members of the New College community through their research and teaching. These materials will represent the intellectual and cultural output of Florida's public honors college.

Theses

The first collection loaded into the NCF Digital Collections was the New College Student Theses Collection from a legacy system. From 1967 through 2008, students only turned in print theses, which the library has bound and houses in a dedicated area. From 2009 on, students are also required to submit an electronic thesis in PDF format in addition to the print version. These digital objects are loaded into the repository. From 1967-2008, the thesis database only contains citation information. From 2009 to present, it also includes the electronic PDF theses.

From 2021 to present, it also includes the Senior Projects Collection.

OPEN@NCF

OPEN@NCF is the College's repository, providing unfettered access to the research produced by New College faculty, staff, and students.

Additional Content

In addition to the thesis collection, the NCF Digital Collections also collects materials from the library's archives including:

Student Publications
Photographs
Commencement Programs and Addresses
Student Handbooks
Student Catalogs (i.e. Facebooks)
Alumnae/I Association Publications

New College Student Association Archives This collection contains digitized materials from the New College Student Alliance (NCSA) Archives, a physical collection in New College of Florida’s Hamilton Center. The Archives are student-organized and student-run; their maintenance is part of a tutorial every semester. The materials in the Archives pertain exclusively to New College student life, such as NCSA or SAC meeting minutes or student publications like New Collage. For example, our icon is an infamous artifact from the Archives: an old banana from a former archivist’s lunch, dubiously from the 1970s. This and many more artifacts demonstrate the unique and eccentric culture of New College that the Archives hope to preserve. The NCSA Archives Digital Repository is incomplete and in progress. If you would like to know what the physical archives contain, you may access the finding aid here. If you have any questions, or would like to make a physical or digital donation, you can email one of the current archivists: Jenna				Office of Public Affairs Collection Collection contains information from the Office of Public Affairs
