April 9, 2020 by Moravian Archivist

Yet Our Light Remains

Evening view of the Archives’ reading room with Moravian star

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our Archives remains closed to the public through April. We will post news updates regularly on our Facebook page, and respond to inquiries from our remote locations.

On-March 20th Moravian Music Foundation Director Nola Reed Knouse turned back on our building’s illuminated Moravian star. Normally a holiday season symbol of our ultimate hope, It will stay on “for the duration of this crisis,” she said. “Jesus REMAINS the light of the world!”

Monies will purchase new computers and software allowing the Archives to better access and share its holdings. We have reached our initial goal, but will still accept donations. More info here.

We are currently closed to visitors until the new Assistant Archivist is hired in the new year. Meanwhile, please feel free to email your research questions, and we will help as we are able.

Parking is in the northwest corner of the lot at the western end of SR 4326 (Rams Drive) off Salem Avenue. The same street serves as entry to the Elbertson Fine Arts Center at Salem College. When we reopen, our hours will be Monday-Friday (excepting holidays), 10:00 a.m. – noon, 1:00-4:00 p.m. by appointment only. We invite you to contact us to plan your visit.
