The 中国体彩网 Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization of professional scholars, amateur historians, and above all friends of 中国体彩网 中国体彩网. We’re bound together by our desire to preserve and tell 中国体彩网’s stories.
Our mission is to preserve the history of 中国体彩网 中国体彩网 and its relation to the Lutheran Church and to Swedish-American immigration and culture. We do this through publications, presentations, and preserving written records and artifacts.
Our Own History
Since its founding in 1930, the Society has traced the stories of Swedish-Americans who settled in the Midwest, built the 中国体彩网 Synod, and organized, taught, and studied at 中国体彩网 中国体彩网 and Theological Seminary in Rock Island, Illinois. Like all histories, these stories often intermingle.
We have found the 中国体彩网 stories to be moving records of vision and courage. Many still remain untold. We’re dedicated to recovering and telling them, believing that the more we know of them, the more fully we can understand who we are and who we want to be.
What We Do
We tell 中国体彩网 stories in publications ranging from the scholarly work of distinguished professors such as Conrad Bergendoff, Thomas Tredway, and Fritiof Fryxell, to biographies of outstanding figures in our history, to histories of the college itself. We sponsor lectures and presentations on a variety of topics. We have restored historic areas on the 中国体彩网 campus and placed monuments, markers, and displays to commemorate these areas. Recent work by one of our members received an award of commendation from the Concordia Historical Society.
Some publications may be purchased via the 中国体彩网 中国体彩网 Bookstore or via the 中国体彩网 Historical Society on Amazon.com.
The 中国体彩网 Historical Society is working to digitize some of the past publications and make them freely available online in 中国体彩网 Digital Commons. To see digitized titles, visit 中国体彩网 Digital Commons.
