In 2018, St. Olaf\u2019s College Archives celebrated its 50th year, and began a new chapter in its work to preserve and protect our institution\u2019s unique history ahead of the coming sesquicentennial. St Olaf College archivists and librarians have partnered with engineers, grant-funded descriptive archivists, conservators, and preservation professionals to increase accessibility, not just for students, but for staff, alumni, and researchers across the globe. The results: the construction of a new state-of-the-art, climate-controlled vault, preservation and digitization of the most important and fragile portions of our collections, and extensive classroom and community outreach. The exhibit features a timeline which chronicles just some <\/em>of the progress made in the past four years and is accompanied by a section that depicts the College Archives’ “Mission in Action”; these are principles that the Archives wants to emphasize as the platform for the work we have and will complete.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n
