About the Archives
The O'Connor Archives collects and makes available records that document the history of the Saint Joseph College community.
College Records
College records include Saint Joseph College's charter and by-laws; documents related to academic programs; faculty and staff biographical information; administrative reports and minutes; financial reports and audits; alumnae/i, faculty and student publications; architectural drawings, specifications and building inventories; and scrapbooks and newspaper clippings.
Special Collections
Materials that have research value and an associative relation with the College are organized and retained in special collections. For example, the Rev. Andrew J. Kelly Art Collection contains art notes and correspondence between Fr. Kelly and prominent artists. The Susan Tracy Collection contains letters to Tracy, a missionary teacher to the Choctaw Nation, 1844-46. The Treasure Room Collection includes letters and manuscripts from noted individuals such as Lionel Barrymore, Bernard Baruch, Warren G. Harding and Arnold Lunn.
Artifacts
The Archives also holds three-dimensional objects produced by or for the College as well as objets d'art donated by alumnae/i and friends.
