Overview and metadata sections
The Penn Current was a weekly publication focused on the Univeristy of Pennsylvania community published between December 10, 1997 and December 21, 2017. Stories focused on University staff, students, faculty, and alumni. Additionally, articles covered Penn's connection West Philadelphia and the city at-large. In 2017 the Penn Current ceased publication, and it's stories were folded into the online feature Penn Today.
The Penn Current Photograph Collection consists of images used to illustrate issues of the Penn Current. Images date between 1987 and 2005, and focus on Penn related events, and individuals. Image format varies between prints, contact sheets, and negatives.
The Penn Current Photograph Collection is organized into three serie: Subject Files, People, and Miscellaneous. Each series is arranged alphabetically.
The Penn Current Photographic Collection was transferred to the University Archives from the Penn Current on April 17, 2015 (Accession Number 2015:012).
