The Archives of Barker contain the official records and memorabilia of the school, its associations (eg. the OBA, BCMA, Foundation) and of individuals which have been selected by the School Archivist for preservation because of their inherent administrative and historical significance.

Thanks to the donations made by ex-students, members of staff and the wider Barker community, the Archives is fortunate to have a rich and diverse collection of material that comprehensively documents the history of the school and which also predates its foundation.

Examples of records and museum items held in the collection include trophies, blazers, boaters, war medals, minute books, official correspondence, drama programs, school photos, architectural plans, oral histories, prize books, master plans, school magazines and publications, student enrolment registers and prize lists.

The Archives is located on Level 1 of the Barker College Library and is operated by the School Archivist, Rachel Byrne, on a full-time basis (including school holidays). Visitors intending to use the Archives are required to make an appointment.
