Background
- Scope and content:
The FSU Panama City Collection contains 26 linear feet of records documenting the founding and development of the campus. It also contains photographs, ephemera, artifacts, correspondence, newspapers, and AV materials related to FSU Panama City.
- Biographical / historical:
While ground breaking for FSUPC wasn't until 1983, FSUPC's history extends back to the early 1970s. After the Naval Coastal Systems Center, Gulf Coast State College, Bay County School Board, and Tyndall Airforce Base began lobbying for an institution of higher learning, the Florida Board of Regents directed the University of West Florida to establish a center in Panama City in 1972. During that summer, 65 elementary education students and a staff of two began classes, using facilities at the Bay County School Board Office Building and Gulf Coast Community College.
