What's Cool about the Student Life and Culture Archival Program?
Through generous funding from journalist and fraternity alumni service proprietor, Stewart Howe ‘28, the University Archives Student Life and Culture Archival (SLCA) Program documents the American student experience with an emphasis on the extracurricular. The Howe collection, one of the worlds largest collections of fraternities and sororities materials, centers the programs national holdings, which include the personal papers of fraternity insider/journalist Wilson Heller and the national archives of the National Panhellenic Conference, Alpha Tau Omega, College Fraternity Editors Association, Association of College Honor Societies, Alpha Lambda Delta, and others. The SLCA Program is the official repository for University of Illinois (UI) student history and includes; student personal papers, such as diaries, correspondence, scrapbooks, and memorabilia; student organization records; and administrative records of student related offices and programs on campus.
In addition to providing reference service to researchers from across the country, the SLCA Program collaborates with the local Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing to compile chapter histories for all UI social fraternities and sororities; conducts oral histories with UI alumni; and produces historical exhibits for student organization centennials, alumni events and UI homecoming.
