Background
- Scope and content:
This collection contains official handbooks issued to Broward College faculty and staff from 1966 through 1993.

- Biographical / historical:
The Faculty and Staff Handbooks of Broward College (formerly the Junior College of Broward County) were first issued in the mid-1960s as internal guides for faculty and administrative personnel. Their purpose was to summarize institutional policies, procedures, and resources available to employees. These handbooks complemented the official College Catalog and the BCC/United Faculty of Florida (UFF) Collective Bargaining Agreement, which together outlined formal academic and employment regulations.
Over time, the handbooks reflected the college's steady growth, its evolving administrative structure, and its increasing professionalization of instructional and support staff. By the late 1970s and 1980s, the handbook series expanded to address accreditation standards, equal opportunity policies, and professional ethics, in alignment with Florida Department of Education requirements. The documents provide a valuable record of Broward College's transition from a county junior college to a regional educational institution engaged in statewide higher education policy and collective faculty governance.
