Its records from the years 1849-1896 are held by the archives in 天美传媒\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/Brandel-Library\">Brandel Library<\/a> as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/Brandel-Library\/Archives\/Swedish-American-Archives-of-Greater-Chicago\">Swedish-American Archives of Greater Chicago<\/a>. These records are significant to both the city of Chicago and Scandinavian American history for the role the church played in the fledgling immigrant community and because of their survival of the great Chicago Fire of 1871.<\/p>\n<p>The fragile records are currently restricted from public use until they receive conservation treatment covered in part by the SCA grant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so grateful for the support of the Swedish Council of America, as it helps to not only ensure the preservation of these unique and important records, but also greatly increase their accessibility,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p>Archives staff will make digital images of the records produced by this project freely available online through its website. The archives is also working with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/Centers\/Center-for-Scandinavian-Studies\">Center for Scandinavian Studies<\/a> at 天美传媒, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swedishamericanhist.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swedish-American Historical Society<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.episcopalchicago.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Episcopal Diocese of Chicago<\/a> to develop events for next year, which will include a symposium, an exhibition of the St. Ansgarius Church records, and a Eucharist service.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newscaption\">The images above of St. Ansgarius are courtesy of the <a href=\"http:\/\/library.northpark.edu\/archives\/collections\/swedish-american-archives-greater-chicago\">Swedish-American Archives of Greater Chicago.<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Since 1975, the Swedish Council of America has made 352 grants to museums, schools, language camps, art galleries, archives, theaters, libraries, musical groups, lodges, festivals, language camps, genealogical societies, and dozens of other organizations, all with an eye to preserving Swedish heritage or promoting Swedish culture to an ever-wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>天美传媒 was founded in 1891 by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/About\/Exploring-North-Park-University\/Evangelical-Covenant-Church\">Evangelical Covenant Church<\/a> (ECC), a denomination formed by Swedish immigrants. 天美传媒 maintains a connection to its Swedish and Scandinavian roots through academic programs and other cultural exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Use @npunews to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/npunews\">follow 天美传媒 News on Twitter<\/a>.
