Archives!

The formal opening of the Loyola College Archives at Loyola/Notre Dame Library took place on February 1, 2006, complete with refreshments and a display of some of the treasures of the Archives -- a few of which are pictured here. Guests included administrative staff from the Library and College, as well as members of the faculty.

The Archives in their temporary home in the Rare Book Room and adjacent exhibition area have been made available to researchers since the arrival in mid-September of Archivist Nancy Perlman and her student assistant, Alexandria Van Sickle. After the Library renovation project is completed, the Archives and other special collections will occupy a custom-designed facility on Level 3. Now that the Archives are officially open to the public we anticipate that many more researchers from the College community and outside will use this rich source for information about Loyola's history and evolution.
