Education: BS, Philadelphia College of Bible, 1974; MDiv, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, 1980; MA, Russian and East European Studies, University of Michigan, 1987; Ph.D., History, University of Michigan 1992; M.L.S., Drexel University 1996; Theological Studies at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal, 1976-1977; Summer Session, Jagiellonian University, Cracow, 1983.

Karl Krueger’s fascination with the role of religion in the immigrant experience led him to study history at the University of Michigan and write a dissertation on the congregations of the Polish-speaking Lutheran Mazurians in East Prussia and the United States. He has created an online graduate course that explores the religious history, piety, and migration experience of East Europeans to the United States.

Before coming to the Krauth Memorial Library, Dr. Krueger worked in the Rare Book Room of the University of Michigan and as Public Services Librarian at the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, a library and museum that was dedicated to American Ethnic Life and Immigration History. Dr. Krueger has attended the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and his most recent session, "Introduction to Illuminated Manuscripts" enabled him to create a seminary Christmas card and mount a seasonal display of the ‘Books of Hours’ at LTSP.
