History
Santa Clara University, founded in 1851 by the Society of Jesus as Santa Clara College, is
California's oldest institution of higher learning. It was established on the site of the
Mission Santa Clara de Asis, the eighth of the original 21 California missions.
Scope and Content
The Santa Clara University Map Collection consists of 41 maps, drawings, surveys, and site
plans of Santa Clara University, ranging in date from 1854-1982. They include color landscape
drawings, University master plans, area maps of campus buildings, and early plot maps of Santa
Clara College. The maps in the collection were prepared by public works officers, engineering
students for class assignments, professional architects and surveyors for University planning
purposes, and historians for historical research. This collection of maps visually represents the
changing spaces of the University campus over time, from its founding in 1851 as Santa Clara
College, to the present day, as Santa Clara University.
The Santa Clara University Map Collection is an artificial collection created by the
University Archives. The items in the collection were acquired from various sources, including
faculty, alumni, University departments, and private donors.
