Alumni Horae Digital Archive Launch

May 29th, 2009

Lisa Laughy – Archives Assistant

Ohrstrom Library is proud to announce a special Anniversary Weekend preview of the newly launched Alumni Horae Digital Archive.

Alumni Horae, the St. Paul’s School alumni magazine, is published four times a year by the Alumni Association in order to engage the alumni community of SPS, to connect alumni to each other, and to enrich the School community. The magazine contains alumni news, features, book reviews, Form notes, and obituaries as well as information about current School life and athletics.

The entire print run of the St. Paul’s School alumni magazine, has been scanned and is now accessible online. Every issue of the Alumni Horae from 1921 to the present has been professionally scanned using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to create a searchable online database.  The articles are also available in PDF format, which reproduces every page of the Alumni Horae as it was originally published, including all diagrams, tables, and photographs.  The PDF files are available for downloading and printing.

New Archives Online Exhibit: The Roll of Honor

November 10th, 2008

A new St. Paul’s School Archives online exhibit has been created making two publications available to read online through the Ohrstrom Library Website. The Roll of Honor: St. Paul’s School in the Great War and The Roll of Honor: St. Paul’s School in World War II reproduces two out-of-print and hard to find books originally published by the SPS Alumni Association: St. Paul’s School in the Great War (published in 1926) and St. Paul’s School in the Second World War (published in 1950).  The books contain short biographies of St. Paul’s Alumni who fought and gave their lives in the two World Wars.  The online exhibit contains direct scans of the pages from the books which have been converted into PDF files for easy reading online.  The two exhibits together contain one hundred and fifty two short biographies of St. Paul’s Alumni.
