Salt Lake Community College’s Archives houses many physical collections
ranging from Administrative Records, Photographs of Student Life, to
SLCC Publications such as the Globe. Amongst these collections we have
interesting materials that document the History of the College as well
as special Events.
The
materials currently being held in this display case represent a
sampling of the various objects from our Memorabilia Collection. From
Alumni Association commemorative items such as stadium seats with a
Bruin Logo, decorative Bruin license plate frames and sunglasses to more
historical items such as President Nelson’s Gavel, these physical
objects provide vignettes of transformation. One mug, with a road sign
logo is part of a marketing campaign from when the College switched from
a Quarter System to a Semester System.
Other
Presidential realia such as President Carnahan’s commemorative mug and
President Budd’s Medal are juxtaposed with a large UTT Logo Plaque (from
when SLCC was known as Utah Trade Tech) and the brightly colored SLTT
logo featuring the main vocational skills taught at the College when it
was known as Salt Lake Trade Technical Institute. Other items include
postcards of SLCC Buildings, photographs of SLCC Students, and a T-shirt
with the logo from CQ Dream Team 2010.
Ranging
from the traditional such as Frisbees and printed mugs to the nearly
bizarre, such as a commemorative toilet seat, these materials represent
the colorful past of the College.
