Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The 2011 accession contains additional materials related to the Augustana Concert Band Tour and information about newspapers Borg collected. The Newspapers subseries contains a list of newspaper issues and a bibliography of articles of interest from three bound volumes that were returned to the donor. These articles include references to himself and his family, wedding announcements, class reunions, Augustana College, and the Lutheran church. There are also reproductions of articles from the Augustana Observer and a photograph of the returned bound volumes. The Augustana Concert Band Tour of 1928 subseries contains two band uniforms presumably from the Tour as well as several belts and photos of the suitcase that was returned to the donor. While there is no evidence that women went along on the tour, a uniform with a skirt was gifted along with the man's uniform. Although it is listed as a female uniform, it was actually formerly a man's. Borg's wife used the pants to make a skirt for her daughter Junita.
