(With scanning, printing, faxing capabilities)

As a photocopier

• Copy historical information that is on unstable materials such as thermofax, newspaper, scrapbook paper, mimeograph, etc.
• Reproduce materials for researchers
• Copy entire set of newspaper clippings that are from the Office of Public Information
• Copy forms used in the Archives by staff

As a scanner

• Scan photographs and other archival materials for faculty and staff research requests, external researchers and internal and external publications
• Scan photographs and select significant items as a means of preserving materials in the collection

As a printer

• Print information that comes to the Archivist via Internet, such as faculty meeting minutes
• These are printed on acid-free paper and added to the collection
• Print indexes and other finding aids to all the collections in the Archives
• Print progress reports for the Director of the Library, correspondence to JCCC Trustees, faculty, staff and students relating to donations to the Archives from all office and organizations on campus

As a fax machine

• Fax materials requested by internal and external researchers (JCCC affiliated faculty and staff as well as researchers in general)

Examples:

• We are losing the written word. In their present form, the early Board of Trustees papers, including minutes of their meetings, are often printed on paper that is deteriorating or printed with ink that is fading away. Typical processes used for reproduction in the mid-1960s, such as mimeograph and thermofax, are the problem. All of these papers need to be copied onto high quality cotton rag (archival) paper.
• We have some of the early papers of JCCC's presidents (all three). The same or similar problems as mentioned above occur in these papers and need to be addressed soon.
• Photographs in the collection are requested for campus publications. These need to be scanned. They also need to be scanned for preservation purposes. Some have glue stains which will only worsen with age.
