COLLEGE LIFE & EVENTS
Arrangement
Abstract
The College Life and Events Photographic Collection relates to everyday life and college-related activities including resident life, class, art on campus, and special events at TCNJ. While the preponderance of the collection dates from post World War II there are many photographs from the early part of the 20th century and a few from the 19th century. They are arranged in six series. The date and/or subject is indicated on the back of some photographs. Each photograph has a unique number, which is on the back of the photograph, on the file, and on the container list. Those numbers succeeded by the letters as are oversize items and may be found in the oversize collection.
