Overview and metadata sections
In 1992, Swarthmore College alumni from the classes of 1943 through 1949 held a collective "War Years Reunion" for students at Swarthmore during World War II. Many photographs located for the reunion, or subsequently due to the reunion, were donated to the Friends Historical Library to form this collection.
The collection includes black and white photographs, postcards, loose prints, contact sheets, and negative slides depicting Swarthmore College students, the Navy V-12 Unit, the Chinese Naval Unit, O'Rourke's campaign for congress, the war years reunion, and war years memorabilia.
The photographs are organized in boxes by donor.
