Football Videos Digitization Project

The Harper College Archives has a unique collection of historical material relating to the college's own football program and community college football within the Midwest. This collection underscores that football was long an integral part of Harper College's history and that of the surrounding region.

The significant assortment of films, videotapes, and DVDs of the football program from 1973 to 2011 are from the Harper College Athletic Department Special Collection and other Special Collections. The audiovisual portion of the collection has 92 films, 371 videotapes, 12 DVDS, and 10 microcassettes. The fragile nature of this material makes their conversion to a digital format a priority.
