Since its founding, Hope College has emphasized both classical and biblical training and studies in science and math. It is relatively well-known that many graduates have gone on to work and serve as missionaries or medical professionals around the world.

Geoffrey Reynolds will present an illustrated history of Holland’s important part in this key war industry and its lasting effect on the community after hostilities ended.

Kelly Gordon Jacobsma, the Genevra Thome Begg Dean of Libraries, is Keeping Hope at home during the Covid-19 pandemic. This image will be placed in the Covid-19 Reflections collection.
The Joint Archives of Holland is seeking personal reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic from the extended Hope College family to provide a lasting chronicle of the era as seen through the eyes of those who are experiencing it.
First-person accounts are invaluable to researchers seeking to understand the past and how people felt about the events of their time, so we are collecting the personal stories from the Hope College community because this is a clear historical moment and we want to get individual experiences of people to record details of campus life and life at home.
We’re encouraging students, staff, faculty and alumni to share their stories, or to help others share their accounts. They can share their own images, journal, prose, artwork, or email correspondence — any form of expression — whether it’s on paper or in a digital form. As far as subject matter is concerned, examples of relevant topics include the economy; political messaging; level of trust in the government and media; and discussion of what’s happening in terms of the weather, relationships with family and friends, neighbors and colleagues. We are also hoping to receive survivor stories.
For those who might be uncomfortable sharing their own thoughts, Reynolds suggests interviewing others they can help others narrate their stories by conducting an interview with them and donating the recording to the archives much like the StoryCorps approach. People interested in this option can volunteer with a partner or be paired with someone they don’t know in a kind of matchmaking setup.
For those who are interested in participating but aren’t sure where to begin, or who would appreciate additional guidance, the site includes a list of questions and ideas as possibilities to write or inquire about. You may also contact Geoffrey Reynolds, director of the archives, via email at archives@m.icarseries.com.
Since March 17, the Joint Archives of Holland has been and will continue to be unavailable until April 13, if not longer, depending on directions from Hope College.
我们只会为希望学院的教职员工和学生提供在线帮助。世界杯荷兰vs厄瓜多尔走地Please contact the Archivist for help at archives@m.icarseries.com.
