Abstract

The Augustana College academic papers and theses, 1877-2024 and undated, was assembled by Special Collections staff for the purpose of keeping academic and scholarly works by Augustana faculty and students together. The collection contains academic papers, master's theses, sermons, speeches, undergraduate papers submitted for academic credit, prize winning papers, independent projects, and proceedings of the annual Celebration of Learning.

Arrangement

Most series and subseries are arranged chronologically and then alphabetically by author's name. In general, the order amongst the series is chronological. One exception is the papers from the Master of Arts degree in Regional Studies (Series II, subseries 2); these papers are arranged alphabetically.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Most papers received from their authors.

Accruals

Special Collections continues to add materials to Series VI: Celebration of Learning on a regular basis. Special Collections stopped adding student and faculty work to this collection in 2014, minus some creative works (zines) and resources. Current student and faculty work can be found in Augustana's digital repository, Augustana Digital Commons, at digitalcommons.augustana.edu.
