Special Collections

The Graphic Communication Department at Cal Poly is highly revered by many. A rich history of dedicated alumni and supporters from all facets of an ever-evolving industry, GrC has received many in-kind donations that have:

1) assisted in the preservation of historical printing equipment and type-metal for the Shakespeare Printing Museum;

2) contributed towards the relocation and preservation of a vast archive of materials and resources dedicated to graphics arts (formerly known as the Wadewitz Library—now known as—the Raymond. J. Prince Graphic Arts Collection);

3) exposed faculty, students and staff to the beautiful and esteemed artwork by the distinguished artist couple Duane and Annie Armstrong.

Please feel free to learn more about the Graphic Communication Special Collections and how you can view, access, participate and contribute.
