The F. M. Johnson Archives and Special Collections works to preserve the history and tell the story of ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï and the Evangelical Covenant Church by serving as the official repository for their historically significant records. We also collect records documenting the Swedish-American experience in the Chicago area. Our mission is to provide access to the collections, to ensure they remain available in the years to come, and to support the mission and vision of the institutions whose records we oversee.
