The proceeds of memorabilia sales at the 125th Jubilee has complemented the ongoing fundraising and NCGOGA President, Kathy Cuthbert, formally presented the Archives Resource Room to the College as the 125th Jubilee Gift at the Jubilee Assembly. The Archives Resource Room is located upstairs in the main foyer and includes display cabinets featuring precious gifts and mementos of the life of the College. There are also photographs and articles displayed and visitors will be able to access archival materials on DVD, Video and on computer.
