The Spirit of Christmas Past: Christmas Card Display from the Loyola Archives

Christmas cards from the Melville P. and Margaret H. Steinfels Papers, Loyola Archives & Special Collections

We invite you to view the display on Cudahy’s first floor, next to the Donovan Reading Room’s north doors, across from the Circulation Desk near the elevator banks.

Echoing the sentiment of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the cards featured in Loyola University Chicago’s Cudahy Library invite both fond remembrance and thoughtful reflection. Traditional prints, sentimental photographs, handmade artistic designs, and even carols represent more than simple greetings; they offer a glimpse into the traditions, humor, and creativity that have shaped Christmas celebrations across generations.
