The SEEK History Project (Circa late 1960s – 2025)

JSTOR: Queens College Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) Program Collection on JSTOR

Queens College Archives and Special Collections partnered with the Queens College SEEK Program in 2019 in order to initiate The SEEK History Project. The project consists of The Queens College SEEK Records, a digital collection available on JSTOR, and over 20 oral histories conducted by the Queens Memory Project, a local history initiative jointly sponsored by the Queens Public Library and Queens College.

The Queens College SEEK Records showcase the SEEK program at Queens College from its beginnings in the 1960s through the early 21st century. The collection contains various administrative materials such as agendas, meeting minutes, reports, guidelines, and other historical documents. The collection also includes curriculum materials, advocacy documents, publications, photographs, audiovisual material, biographical files, and ephemera.
