Biographical / Historical

Notre Dame College was founded in 1922 as a private Catholic college in South Euclid, Ohio. The Clara Fritzsche Library was founded in 1998 and served as both an academic library and a gallery. The college closed in 2024 due to a decline in enrollment, rising costs, and debt. The Cleveland Museum of Art acquired the art gallery records, while Lake Erie College acquired other institutional records.
