This month’s cover features a 1960 photograph of Barbara Krausel in the Fontbonne College library stacks. Krausel graduated that year from the college’s music program with a concentration in organ. When Fontbonne College, now Fontbonne University, was constructed, the library was housed on the fourth floor of the main building. In 1967 a new library was built that included a fine arts gallery, auditorium, and several classrooms. Fontbonne was a women’s only institution until the late 1970s.

The Fontebonne University Archives received a small grant from the Fontbonne Community Connection in 2021 to digitize the historic photo collection, and the project was complete in time for the university’s centennial celebrations in 2023. The University Archives Photo Collection is available at https://griffinshare.fontbonne.edu/uasc-photos/.
