Archive Collections
The Archives are a special place in the Scheele Memorial Library. Here you will not only find information on Concordia and those who have guided its growth, but also the actual documents pertaining to these exciting chapters in the our history. These materials illustrate and highlight the Concordia story, a story of continuous growth from a small Lutheran school in Manhattan to its present position as one of the nation's leading liberal arts colleges which nurtures body, mind, and spirit in a distinctly Christian environment. Letters, photographs, posters, videotapes, and other materials are housed in the Archives, which is quite literally the collected memory of Concordia College itself.
