Yes, the HC likely plays a role in working memory for associative, declarative and spatial information. Most of the working memory is believed to reside in the (prefrontal) cortex, though; in patterns of synaptic depletion (less than 15-30 seconds) and based on the 'hot potato' principle in which processes in different modules mutually re-activate previous states to manipulate them.
