Research Services
The Luther Seminary Archives is an
institutional collection whose materials tell the story of this school, now over 125 years
in operation as a center of theological study. We are happy to help with the variety
of questions that regularly come to us about past students, teachers and other church
leaders connected with Luther Seminary. Please
contact us if you have any
research inquiries.
 In 1994 the
seminary marked its 125th anniversary with celebrations
that included the publication of school history, entitled,
Thanksgiving
and Hope. If you would like to receive a complimentary copy of
Thanksgiving and Hope, please contact us and we will be happy to send you one. The
Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Region 3 Archives serves as the permanent
storage site for the valuable records of midwestern Lutheranism, beginning in the 1840's
and continuing to the present. In the structure of today's ELCA the Region 3
Archives also serves the 9 synod offices in the states of South
Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota.
The ELCA Region 3 Archives has created a research guide,
Memory Work: A Guide for ELCA Congregational Archives and
History, to advise congregations on recording their history, basic storage and preservation of
records, and microfilming. If your congregation is interested in receiving printed copies of
Memory Work please contact us. We hope that this material is helpful
to you and to your congregation. If you copy Memory Work material from this
web site, we ask only that
you acknowledge where you found it and the organization (the ELCA Region 3 Archives) that
made it available.
