College Composition,
Conserved and Composed

An Archive of Composition’s Past

Composition studies emerged in earnest, by one reckoning, with the formation of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) in 1950. This site preserves miscellaneous artifacts from then until 2026, when CCCC was “unchartered” by NCTE. I may include artifacts from other organizations and sites in composition studies over that period. Doug Hesse
