Newington College has been documenting its history from the first day the College opened its doors on 16 July 1863.

The Archives collection at Newington College is as rich and colourful as the people and stories that populate it. Dating from the day the College opened on 16 July 1863 where 16 boys were enrolled, their Archives collection covers everything from written and photographic material to drawings, uniform items, sporting equipment and other paraphernalia that were all part of the everyday life of boys and staff at the College. Records such as those of College Council minutes from meetings starting from 1866, architectural drawings that depict the early construction of the Founders Building in the 1870s, and all editions of the school magazine (now yearbook) The Newingtonian can be found in the Newington College Archives collection.
