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.
