WELCOME TO THE NC ARCHIVES!
The NC Archives have been in operation since 2012 in the attic/penthouse of the Northland College Center for Science and the Environment (CSE). The Archives are entirely volunteer-run and operated, and rely entirely upon the goodwill of donors. The Archives house materials beyond just student publications from throughout history; they are a repository for everything else that is deemed relevant to our unique history as an institution as well, including: documents, artifacts, catalogues, videos, sporting event records, photos of people and places, several art collections, a glass slide collection, a copper collection from the former Northland Industries, records of the campus farm, personal and Greek Life scrapbooks, a music record collection, and several other collections and resources that will prove insightful in researching our campus and the people who have called it home.
Access to and further information regarding the use of the NC Archives is determined on an individual basis, primarily based on the availability of:
​
Ori-Anne Pagel '69, NC's alumni Archivist, available at oasp@bevcomm.net; (715) 943-2983, and her supervisor:
​
Jackie Moore '05, Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving, available at alumni@northland.edu; (715) 682-1811
This page of the NCSP website serves as a collaborative solicitation for supplementation to our archive collections of materials that we lack, as well as an invitation to research and communicate with us.
Making a gift to the Archives is considered a Gift-in-Kind to Northland College and is managed by the Office of Institutional Advancement in partnership with Ori-Anne as a representative of the Northland College Alumni Board. A Gift-in-Kind form is used as a record to collect basic contact information and a general description of the items being donated. We are now affording you the opportunity to print, complete, and return the the Gift-in-Kind form with any gifted items by mail sent to:

From what we know, the following publications are believed to be missing from both digital and print collections. While all relevant materials (some of which are listed at the end of this page) are accepted as donations to the NC Archives, the following publications are those we believe to exist based on organizational records, but have yet to find in our collection. With the help of alumni from many generations of Northland history, we can improve upon our collections and better understand life across many generations of history.

The NC Archives and alumni constituents are also seeking the following materials to be entered into our collections:
​
-
Athletic team records, clippings, photos, uniforms, etc. We currently have sport materials archived by year, but in several cases we are missing stats, rosters, records, etc. We appreciate when photo submissions include the year and a brief description, including names.
​
-
Materials pertaining to modes of transport to and from the College from throughout history will be sought after and appreciated pertaining to a novel collection tracking and defending how modality and accessibility throughout the years has affected the marketability of the College to the world, as well as the relationship had with Ashland, WI. These modes of transport include passenger train time tables, maritime records, Greyhound and Indian Trails bus lines, B.A.R.T. bus lines within town, records of the Ashland airport, and ride-sharing programs among students that reduced the number of transports for student travel.
