Napa Valley College has a long history of providing staff with newsletters and newspapers in print. For some publications, we have several issues, but for others, we have only one or two issues. Because we do not often have all issues of a publication, the start dates and end dates for many publications are not known. The items in this part of the collection, however, give a nice glimpse into what was considered "newsworthy" during the time periods within which they were published.
Napa Valley College News started out as a newsletter, but then it was changed into a newspaper format, and then it was converted back into a newsletter. It is difficult to tell how long the publication lasted or if there were gaps in the publication history based on the limited number of issues preserved in the archive.

"Building Community" was a newsletter written by and published by the president's office. At least three different university presidents kept this publication active, although it is unclear when this publication stopped being published and under which president based on the issues that we have.
