We continue to welcome visitors to the Provincial Archives, and introduce ourselves to the local archival community. On Friday, February 15, we welcomed Fr. John C. Kemper, S.S., Director of St. Mary’s Spiritual Center and Historic Site in Baltimore (center), and Tricia Pyne, Director of the Associated Archives at St. Mary’s Seminary and University, also in Baltimore (right). Here, Provincial Archivist Dee Gallo (left) shows paintings of St. Vincent, St. Louise, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton as part of a tour of the new repository.

On Friday we were pleased to welcome Carolyn Sautter (left) and Lauren Roedner to the Provincial Archives. Carolyn is Director of Special Collections at Musselman Library, Gettysburg College. Lauren is a senior at Gettysburg College and a staff member at the Adams County Historical Society in Gettysburg. They toured the Archives, met the staff, and discussed possibilities for academic collaboration among the Provincial Archives, Gettysburg College and the historical society. Carolyn and Lauren are seen here examining some of our Civil War manuscripts in the Reading Room. We look forward to more collaboration with them in the future.
