Harvard University News Office Photographs
The Harvard University News Office was established in 1919. The photographs in these collections document all aspects of the growth and development of Harvard University from the late 1930s through the mid-1990s: the growth and development of Harvard University's architecture and environs, faculty and staff, students and campus life. These photographs also demonstrate a coordinated and deliberate effort by the University to record and communicate routine events and special occasions. The images are documentary and publicity photographs taken by News Office staff.
