The Hosford History Center & Lawrence Archives

Preserving and sharing our history.

Our Mission

The Hosford History Center & Lawrence Archives is the central site of The University of Olivet history and a vibrant learning environment of interaction and collaboration. We primarily document, preserve and share our institutional and administrative history, as well as the educational and social experiences of Olivet students during their enrollment. As a physically and virtually active space, we enable the past, present and future Olivet community, as well as external researchers, to engage with the longstanding history of our college.
