We are proud to announce that The Skyscraper newspaper is now fully digitized!
Mundelein College published the inaugural issue of its student newspaper The Skyscraper on January 30, 1931, during the college’s first year of operation. The Skyscraper informed the Mundelein community about local and national events as well as “all the news, views, rumor, and humor of the students of Mundelein College.” The newspaper was an entirely student-run operation and continued to be published until May 1969.
The Skyscraper Newspaper Collection contains digital scans of the complete run of The Skyscraper from 1931 until 1969 and is keyword-searchable across the collection. Please visit: http://www.luc.edu/wla/Digital_Collections_.shtml to access the collection. The original Skyscraper newspapers are part of the Mundelein College Records and Photograph Collection, held at the Women & Leadership Archives.
