From Stacks to Stories: The Covenant Archives at 90

2025 marks the 90th anniversary of the Covenant Archives. Celebrate this milestone this academic year through a lunch and learn series, sponsored by the Commission on Covenant History. Join us to learn more about the Covenant Archives and how archival research supports the current mission and ministries of the ECC through a series of virtual lunchtime discussions.

In our December 10 session, Marit Johnson Awes and Janis Rueping will share their experience creating an exhibit telling the history of Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago, which was installed earlier this year in the second-floor lobby of Swedish Hospital’s Galter Medical Pavilion. Marit and Janis will share how their project came into being and how they used Covenant archival sources to tell the story of the hospital.
