Archives News - Research Guides at Caldwell University

Christmas traditions have always been an important part of Caldwell's history. Although the activities may have changed, students and staff have always gathered together to celebrate the Christmas festivities. The Caldwell University Archives' new digital exhibit, "Christmas at Caldwell," highlights these various traditions over the years, such as tree-trimming contests and plays, candlelight ceremonies, caroling, and the annual Christmas banquet. The photographs in the exhibit are from the 1940s through the 1970s.

The exhibit can be viewed here. Stay tuned for more digital exhibits in the future!

Share your CRaCAD research with the Caldwell University Archives!

Did you participate in the Caldwell Research and Creative Arts Day this year?Please consider contributing your research to the Caldwell University Archives digital collections on JSTOR! Why? By sharing your work, you are contributing to Caldwell's rich history as well as the broader research community on JSTOR. Plus, it looks great on a resume! We accept posters and abstracts / research papers in electronic format. The number of students who have previously shared their work with the Archives compared to how many actually presented at CRaCAD has unfortunately been very low, so we'd like to try to change that and encourage more students to submit their projects so we can continue to highlight their incredible work.You can view the growing collection of CRaCAD projects here.If you would like to share your research with the Archives, please submit your work using this form in the following formats:Abstracts / papers: Microsoft Word or PDF formatPosters: PDF or JPEG formatQuestions?

New Digital Collection: "The Kettle" Student Newspaper

“The Kettle” is the student newspaper of Caldwell College (formerly Caldwell College for Women). Its first issue was published on October 31, 1941 (although that issue has unfortunately been lost). The student newspaper provides an exciting glimpse into the lives of Caldwell students over the years, and allows us to understand what their college days and society were like at the time. The issues in this collection span 70 years of Caldwell history, from 1941 to 2011. This collection also allows us to make use of a new digital collections platform. In addition to being available through Artstor, as our collections have been for some time, we now have the ability to make them available through a new interface on JSTOR. We hope that this will improve the quality of our digital collections, and make them more accessible to the Caldwell community and beyond! The collection is publicly available and can be viewed here.
