The Archives of Hinds Community College

The Hinds Community College Archives was established to preserve and make accessible records which are deemed to be of continuing value to Hinds Community College. The collection is intended to be used by students, faculty and alumni of the institution and interested researchers.

The collection includes items from or about the former Hinds County Agriculture High School, Hinds Junior College, and the current Hinds Community College and all of its locations. Items in the collection include yearbooks, student newspapers, college catalogs, student handbooks, operational documents of the college, photographs, memorabilia, architectural records, and minutes of meetings. The Archives also includes the John Bell Williams Collection. This collection of memorabilia was presented to the college by the family of the former Mississippi Governor and U. S. Representative.
