Have you ever wondered what kinds of books, objects, and documents live in the Holy Cross Archives? Join us in the Archives for our Fall Open House on Friday the 28th. This is your chance to come explore the reading room and talk to the Archives staff. With Halloween right around the corner, we’ll have some of our spooky items on display. Whether you want to look at old yearbook pictures or see a creepy baby doll, we have so much to show you for Fall on the Hill in the Archives. Attend and be entered into a raffle for a GrubHub gift card!
