...a place for the future
The definition of an archive is a “collection of historical documents or records providing information about a place, institution, or group of people.” You may think of an archive as a place for the past, but really it is a place for the future. Our archivist is trained in conserving our precious and sentimental items to be able to share the PLC Sydney story for centuries to come.
The PLC Sydney Archives was established in 1976.
The PLC Sydney Archives is available for research or study. Students, staff and members of the general public are welcome to visit the Archives to read and examine items of interest.
Today, the archives hold the following:
- Student records
- School publications
- College Council minutes and records
- Photographic library
- Memorabilia
- School uniforms, objects, and artefacts
- Architectural plans
- Oral histories and recollections
