There are ways that the wider community of Villa Maria
College may like to help build the College archives. Perhaps
you have memorabilia in the form of old uniforms, badges,
magazines or formal photos (with names if possible) that
you would be prepared to donate to the College. We can scan
photos and return them if you’d prefer.
