The College of Health and Human Development Collection consists of the records of the college and its previous iterations throughout CSUN's history. Records include annual reports, program brochures, event fliers, course information, commencement programs, directories, and information on departments and centers.

The College of Health and Human Development first began as the School of Communication and Professional Studies (CAPS), which was established in 1973, shortly after San Fernando Valley State College became California State University, Northridge. CAPS department included Communicative Disorders, Health Science, Home Economics, Journalism, Physical Education, Radio-Television-Film, Recreation and Leisure Studies, Speech Communication, and Child Development. The school was renamed the School of Communication, Health and Human Services in the early 1990s. In 1996, the school was reorganized and renamed the College of Health and Human Development, consisting of six departments: Child Development, Communicative Disorders, Family Environmental Sciences, Health Science, Kinesiology, and Leisure Studies and Recreation. The departments of Journalism, Speech Communication and Radio-TV-Film were moved to the new College of Arts, Media, and Communication.
