We’re happy to share with you the work of Chioma Iwelumo ’12 who worked on this video on the history of coeducation at Lawrenceville using the Stephan Archives collections and oral history interviews with Ruwei Mount Hanewald ’90, Kristina B. Schulte P’15, W. Graham Cole, Jr., H’87, P’91, P’95 and Head Master Elizabeth A. Duffy H’43 as a senior independent study with Media Specialist Gil Domb last spring.
The Stephan Archives and the Bunn Library has reopened after our annual three-week summer closure. For the remainder of August the archives will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. The exception will be Friday, August 25, when the archives will close at noon to accommodate a facilities project. On Tuesday, September 4, we will resume our normal school year operating hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please call the main archives number at (609) 895-2108 to arrange for a visit. We look forward to serving you.
The Stephan Archives, as well as the Bunn Library, will be closed for our annual summer closure as of 4 p.m. on Friday, July 27, 2012. During this period, there will be no archival or library services available. We will resume normal operating hours on Monday, August 20, 2012, and welcome serving you again after that date.
While researching another topic, archives staff “discovered” the Coachman collection, a seris of candid travel photos taken by brothers Walter Fossin Coachman L 1913 and Charles Rogers Coachman L 1917. The photos appear to have been taken on various summer trips between 1913 and 1920 and feature such locales as Glacier National Park, Atlantic City and Woodstown, New Jersey. A few of the most interesting photos have been scanned and uploaded here.
The Stephan Archives of the Lawrenceville School will host an electronic records workshop for archivists, presented by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, on June 15. For more information on other professional development opportunities through MARAC, see the MARAC website. Registration fee includes lunch.

Managing Electronic Records, June 15, 2012 —
REGISTRATION STILL AVAILABLE
Location: The Bunn Library, The Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, NJ
Instructor: Geof Huth, New York State Archives
Local Contact: Jacqueline Haun, Archivist The Lawrenceville School
Description: Many people like to treat electronic records as they do the weather: by, as Mark Twain said, complaining about it but doing nothing about it. We are now decades from the point at which that was an excusable way for archivists to address the issue of electronic records. This workshop will provide a simple introduction to the world of managing electronic records in archives by reviewing every aspect of archival workflow as it relates to electronic records. Particular focus will be placed on understanding the choices for long-term electronic file formats as well as the basics of preservation.
