Nuns at St. Mary-of-the-Woods
| Description: |
Group portrait of nuns at St. Mary-of-the-Woods college, founded in 1840 by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Located about five miles West of Terre Haute in St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, it is the first college for women in Indiana and the oldest Catholic liberal arts college for women in the United States. It was accredited and offered four-year undergraduate programs. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
