Archives Access

New 2008 ISSUE

Why is this particular edition titled the Red Letter Issue? Some of our most interesting archival letters are featured and much like a Red Letter Day is a meaningful day, we feel that this is a very important issue. It focuses on who we are and what we’re all about. It features article such as, “Your Guide to Donating”, explaining what we do in the Archives, as well as stories directly from our collection like “From the Stacks.”

A Love Letter  -  A Love Like No Other: The Tom and Mary Hargrave Story

A Letter  from a WWII Airman -  Crash Landing on the Prairies

A Letter from our Stacks -  The Rambling Recollections of Francis F. Fatt

 . . . And plenty of other articles and information from the Archives
