Access to the Luther Seminary Archives will be temporarily paused for church partners and external researchers from April 1 through August 31, 2026. During this period, archives staff will focus on inventory, processing, and preparation of the collections for the seminary’s anticipated move to a new location in the Twin Cities following the 2026–27 academic year. Archives staff will respond to individual research questions on a case-by-case basis throughout the spring and summer. Please contact archives@luthersem.edu for support. These collections include the institutional history, since 1869, of Luther Seminary and its precursors, Augsburg Seminary, the Hauge Synod School, Red Wing Seminary, and Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary; the archives of ELCA Region 3, which date from 1843 and include records of many of the precursor church bodies of the synod; and a number of special collections. For more information about the collections and working with the archives, visit luthersem.edu/archives.
