Augsburg College papers, circa 1870-1981

Biography/History:  
Augsburg College was founded at Marshall, Wisconsin in 1869 as a Norwegian-American Lutheran seminary known as Augsburg Seminarium. It then moved to Minneapolis in 1872, changing its name to The Norwegian Danish Evangelical Lutheran Augsburg Seminary in association with its new sponsors. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Augsburg Seminary remained the school's name until 1942 when it was officially changed and expanded to Augsburg College and Theological Seminary, a name that had been informally used since the 1910s. Following the dissolution of the seminary portion of the school, the name of its remaining undergraduate college became Augsburg College, which remained until 2017, when it officially became Augsburg University.
