Alumni in the Archives

Every summer, UMN Morris alumni come to the Archives and Special Collections for a week to help with designated Archives projects and spend time together in the Archives. The work done during the "summer camp" has included oral histories with retired faculty and staff, transcribing letters from the Indian Boarding School time period, creating biographies for faculty and staff, and a variety of other projects. Included in the week are dinners hosted by Library and Archives staff, as well as many opportunities for socializing. Alumni have the option to stay in the residence halls during the week. 

The Alumni in the Archives event typically takes place in June. If you are interested in joining us for a future camp, please fill out the Alumni in the Archives interest form.
