Dear Linka ...

Have a question about LIS or any service provided by LIS? Linka has the answer — ask her!

Born Caroline Dorothea Margrethe Keyser in Kristiansand, Norway, Linka and her husband, Herman Amberg Preus, arrived in Spring Prairie, Wisconsin in 1851. Her husband was a pastor and later president of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod in America. Christian Keyser Preus, her son, became the second president of Luther College. Linka is best remembered for her sketchbooks that contain her drawings of Luther College and the Decorah area from the 1850s and 1860s. In 1876, she suffered a stroke from which she never fully recovered. She died four years later in 1880. Her diary, translated in 1951, contains details not only about events in her life but also about her thoughts and feelings in entries recorded from 1844 to 1864.

In the 21st century Linka now channels LIS with answers to all questions, easy and hard about information services at Luther … perhaps Linka can teach you a thing or two about LIS, and we know she can answer your questions.
