New finding aid/collection guide available for the papers of CUA professor of Celtic Studies Robert Theodore Meyer.  A native of Ohio,  Meyer first came to CUA in 1947 as an instructor in German and comparative philology. He became assistant professor, then associate professor, full professor, and finally, in 1953, chair of the Celtic Studies Department. He gained the title of Professor Emeritus when he retired in 1976.  His papers include his diaries, correspondence, research notes, manuscripts, and publications.

CUA Press release highlights both the archival collection and the Mullen library exhibit of Fr. Gilbert V.F. Hartke, the ‘Show-biz priest.’

We have a new finding aid/collection guide for the Fr. Gilbert Vincent Ferrer Hartke, O.P., Collection,  that, happily, coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Drama Dept. that he founded.  Hartke, the ‘Show-biz Priest,’ was a legendary figure at CUA from the 1930s to the 1980s.

The American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives and the Catholic University Department of Education announce a new professional development course for Catholic High School teachers to be held on the campus of Catholic University and at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.  The course, American Religious Responses to the Holocaust, will run from July 8-12, 2013.  For details, see American Religious Responses to the Holocaust Course.

Father Gilbert V. Hartke, O.P. played many roles in his life: an advocate for the arts, a friend of the entertainment world’s biggest stars, an advisor to presidents, the face of America in foreign lands, an earnest teacher, and a devout spiritual guide. Learn more about the legendary founder of CUA’s Drama Department as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of its formation with an exhibition showcasing Father Hartke’s legacy.
