This is a finding aid. It is a description of archival material held at the Drexel University: Archives and Special Collections. Unless otherwise noted, the materials described below are physically available in their reading room, and not digitally available through the web.
Overview and metadata sections
This collection consists of a series of files containing photographs of individual people, primarily Drexel faculty, trustees, and staff, as well as some alumni. Photos date as early as 1880 and as late as 2000, but are chiefly from the 1980s and early 1990s; many are undated. The bulk of the photos are black-and-white or color prints, but files also contain a few negatives and contact sheets. Some photographs transferred from the Office of University Relations have captions or annotations associated with them, providing dates and additional information about the subject of the photograph.
Although the provenance of the photographs is not known, it is believed that most were originally transferred to the University Archives from the Office of University Relations. Archives staff have also occasionally added photos to this collection as they are found among unrelated records or accessioned.
Some additional photographs of people are filed with biographies, CVs, newspaper clippings, and other materials about the individual in UR 10.2, the Biographical Reference Collection.
Photos are arranged alphabetically by last name. Where readily available, additional information, such as the person’s relationship to Drexel and the date that the photograph was taken, are written on the folder and transcribed in the folder list below. A single folder may contain several photos of a person over a period of time, or photos may be divided among multiple folders. An entry in the folder list may sometimes represent more than one folder.
Chiefly transferred from the Office of University Relations.
Kevin Martin, Sherry Wolceski, and Sarah Chappel.
