The Library is dedicated to preserving Catawba's heritage by maintaining the College's archival records. This collection contains documents and artifacts chronicling the school's founding, growth, and relocation.

The library provides public access to government information in all available formats during our daytime operating hours. Online versions of Federal Documents are accessible via specific government websites and the library catalog. The library provides public access to those documents by request; please ask a staff member for assistance. Physical documents are located in the basement of the library and are cataloged using the SUDOC (Superintendent of Documents) classification system. Documents may be available for check-out to Catawba-affiliated patrons; visitors should speak to a library staff member about photocopying or scanning documents if needed. For more information, see the library’s Government Document research guide:
