There are a lot of ways to research Gustavus history, especially as it relates to its Swedish heritage. You'll find some resources available online, some within the library and others in the College & Lutheran Church Archives. Walk-ins are welcome in the archives, which is located on the top floor of the library. Consult the calendar for current hours. Archives staff are happy to field your questions; don't feel like you need a fully-formed question prior to visiting. Archives staff can help you even if you aren't entirely sure what you're hoping to find.
Over the years, the College has published a couple of books about itself. Find these in the Library. Use the call numbers to find the books on the shelves or ask any library employee for help. Note that the links take you to the catalog record, not the item itself.
