Digital Repository at St. Francis University

The Margaret M. Tobin Center for Archives and Special Collections of the Saint Francis University Library announced that it now offers the Saint Francis University digital repository.  Historic photographs, campus publications, and student research papers are included in the digital collection. Users can choose to browse by title or use the search box to enter search words.   Three images from the collection documenting a tragic October 30, 1942 fire on the campus that destroyed the historic Old Main are inserted below in the Google Slides presentation.

The institution is located in Loretto, PA and was founded as St. Francis Academy in 1847.  The name changed to St. Francis College in 1920 and to St. Francis University in 2001.  Visit the university web site for more information about the history and traditions.

You can also find a digital version of The Stewards of the Vision Saint Francis College 1947-1997, an institutional history of the college published for the Sesquicentennial celebration in 1997.
