University Historical Collections

 

The University's Historical Collection offers a rich and varied record of the university’s traditions, people, and daily rhythms across the decades. Central to the collection are recordings from daily chapel services, which reflect the spiritual and communal core of campus life. A significant portion of the collection features photographs capturing the evolving campus landscape, student life, and landmark moments, providing a vivid visual history from the university's early years to the present.

Graduation ceremony programs document academic milestones and mark the achievements of each graduating class, while materials from a wide array of campus events—such as Spring sing, theater performances, and lectureship—highlight the vibrancy and diversity of the university community over time. Together, these materials serve as a vital resource for understanding the lived experience and cultural fabric of the university.
