Miami Dade College's Learning Resources Department offers a variety of resources, services, and activities to support our students and faculty. Librarians and tutors are available to assist you in-person or online.
The MDC Archives Department is located at the Wolfson Campus but supports undergraduate research at every campus. The Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives' mission is to collect, preserve and make accessible film and video materials made in or about Florida and which reflect the history and culture of this region. Visit the MDC Archives YouTube page to see a selection of videos from this extensive collection.
