SU Traditions Book Available

Children's Book, Flipper and Dipper and the Treasures of 6 Bird

Wendy Solomon Morton '89 lost a dear friend, Sandy Phillips, in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. After she visited the SU Archives she wrote and illustrated a children's book about the visit, Flipper and Dipper and the Treasures of 6 Bird.

This 40-page look at the history and traditions of SU is a wonderful way for alumni to remember their years on "The Hill", and a way to share those years with their children and grandchildren. It contains stories and images of SU traditions as told by SU Archivist Ed Galvin. Accompanying this soft cover book is Flipper and Dipper's plush, new friend Toni.

Proceeds from the book, which is being distributed through the SU Bookstore, go to the Pan Am Flight 103 Archives to help preserve the legacies of those friends and loved ones who were lost.

Welcome


Welcome to Syracuse University's Archives and Records Management Department, or ARM.

ARM is a division of the Office of the Chancellor. It is responsible for both preserving the historical record of the University and providing systematic control over the University's records from creation to final disposition.

I invite you to visit the Archives web site where you will discover information about our collections, SU buildings, University awards and honors, and a special section dedicated to the victims of Pan Am Flight 103. You will also find our newsletter, mystery photographs, our online exhibits, and much more.

If you are a member of the SU community the records management link will lead you to basic information on depositing, retrieving and destroying records that have passed their legal retention period. Everything you need to know about the University’s central records storage area, the University Records Center (URC), is also located there.

Please come back and visit often.
