Scope and Content

The slides, computer discs, contact sheets, and negatives in this collection are enclosed in 453 3-ring binders that were delivered to Archives and Special Collections by Lora Gordon, University Photographer, in 2007. They contain photographs taken primarly by Lora Gordon and other photographers, from 1990-2007. The photographs consist primarily of promotional photos taken to accompany press release or to meet special photography requests. Examples include atheletics, scenes of campus, people, or events that were requested by regional newspapers. Other photographs were taken of groups, ensembles, performers, dignitaries, or guest artists who came to campus. The binders retain their original labels and have been recorded as such in the finding aid.
