It includes annual budgets, financial reports, college business periodicals, facilities surveys, student retreat programs, institutional self-study documentation, directories, personnel applications, and original correspondence between early administrators.

- Biographical / historical:
The Junior College of Broward County (JCBC) was established in 1960 under the sponsorship of the Board of Public Instruction of Broward County, Florida. JCBC operated as the county's first public institution of higher education, serving the needs of rapidly growing postwar communities. Its initial mission included general education for transfer, vocational and technical training, and providing affordable access to local students. This foundational era saw considerable growth in campus facilities, program offerings, and student enrollment, setting the stage for JCBC's later transition to Broward College and its expanded regional role.
