Here are all of the Carroll College Archives finding aids consolidated for online viewing of information and inventory of all our archival materials and resources.
What is a finding aid? The Society of American Archivists describes it as a "description that typically consists of contextual and structural information about an archival resource" including "acquisition and processing; provenance, including administrative history or biographical note; scope of the collection, including size, subjects, media; organization and arrangement; and an inventory of the series and the folders." [1]
For more information on Carroll College Archives procedures and policies, please visit our Library Policies page. For more on the Carroll College Archives' collection, visit the Archives page on the library website. You can also visit the Carroll College Digital Archives at memory.carroll.edu. The Digital Archives does not and will not contain all materials in the Carroll College Archives. Some archival materials are restricted for the privacy of those mentioned in them and to comply with federal, and state law and therefore are not suitable for digitization.
While the Archives and the Corette Library History Room do include thesis papers in print (see our finding aid on Student Scholarship for a list of print theses), the majority of our thesis repository can be found on Carroll Scholars, our institutional repository. All Carroll College theses written after 2015 are only available digitally in Carroll Scholars.
