Is digital content from the college archives available online?
Answer
Yes, over 4300 documents from the college archives are available online: http://memory.defiance.edu.
Nearly all of the Oraculum yearbooks have been digitized, as well as all known copies of student newspapers from 1902 through spring of 1972, and then from fall 1979 through spring of 1991. The 1970s gap in coverage is because those issues were published in a very large format which is too big for our scanner. The 1970s print copies can be viewed in the archives.
Also available online: all known commencement programs and course catalogs, selected photographs, all known theater, band and choir programs, a selection of college history documents, etc. We are adding new material to this website as time permits, including documents from Schauffler College.
