Archives and Special Collections Halloween Open House

Discover the archive’s darker delights at the Loyola Archives and Special Collections’ annual Halloween Open House, blending history and mystery. Examine displays of creepy books and unusual artifacts that reveal unexpected narratives from our collections. Archivist-led tours will take you beyond the public reading room to see storage vaults and work spaces that keep unique materials alive for future generations. Whether you’re a scholar, a student, a local history buff, or simply looking for a unique Halloween experience, this open house offers something for everyone. Costumes and curious questions are welcome. Because guided tours have limited capacity, early sign-up is suggested.
