Preface

The Wartburg College Archives is responsible for the collection and preservation of records that document the college’s history, development, operation, policies, people, activities, and events.

The Archives is committed to providing access to holdings. However, access to some items may be restricted by their fragile condition or by contractual agreement with the donors, and it may not be possible at all times to provide appropriate machinery for reading, viewing or accessing non-print materials.

Biographical Sketch/Agency History

History: The first Wartburg Faculty Handbook dates back to 1953. The initial handbook was intended as an orientation tool for new teachers at Wartburg. Since, each handbook varies in the content presented. However, topics regarding faculty, organizations, committees, finances, faculty duties and activities, and school goals are present in some form in every handbook. Faculty handbooks have been regularly revised.
