Amherst College Photographer Records (Selections)
Amherst College Photographer Records Collection contains more than 400,000 images taken by official college photographers from 1960-2005. The collection contains primarily 35mm black and white negatives that document college events, people and places. Beginning with Alumni Day in 1960 and ending in 2005 with the transition to digital photography, the collection covers athletic events, distinguished visitors, celebrations and the physical changes to the campus over the years. The digitized collection directly relates to the student experience and student interactions on campus. Digitized selections include commencements, orientations, move-in days, classroom shots, student groups and events, alumni reunions, Black alumni weekends, and special events of high interest to current students and researchers.
