Santons
In addition to photographs and greeting cards, the Rosemont College Archives also possesses object dedicated to the celebration of Christmas. We have a large collection of Santons, or figurines, which depict the Nativity Scene as well as village life.
Originating from Provence in the South of France, we believe our collection of santons were donated by Marilyn Conwell; a former professor, department head and benefactor of Rosemont College.
