United Way Campaign Agency Spotlight: YMCA - by Joe Wolf
I give to the United Way because they support agencies like the YMCA of the Triangle. The YMCA does a lot of great things here locally, including summer camps and afterschool programs. That's how I know the "Y", as the place I trust my daughters to after their school lets out but I am finishing the day's work at Peace. My girls love their Y college student counselors and the mix of athletics they engage them in.

Digitized archives available online
The programs from recitals, concerts, commencements and other events in the history of Peace College are becoming available online. We are in the process of digitizing these documents and making them searchable in our online catalog, with links to the .pdf files. So far, documents from 1873 through 1920 have been posted. The ultimate goal is to have all print materials digitized, including correspondence, grade ledgers, and photographs. For directions on how to access these files, see the archives web page: http://library.peace.edu/Archives/digdocs.html
