Scope and Content of Collection
The Robert Glasheen Photograph Collection contains images of University of California, San Diego faculty, staff, campus life,

SERIES 1: PORTRAITS
The PORTRAITS series documents many important faculty, administrators and staff during the early years of the campus. As
an outside, contract photographer for the Public Information Office, Glasheen would typically receive an assignment, shoot
a roll or two of film of the subject and print selected images. Included are Chancellors York, Galbraith, McGill, McElroy
and Atkinson.
SERIES 2: GROUP PORTRAITS
The GROUP PORTRAITS series contains images of the first five chancellors, Nobel Prize winners at or affiliated with UCSD and
a group photograph of the UC Regents taken at an on-campus meeting in 1984.
SERIES 3: BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
The BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS series provides excellent documention of the architecture and development of the built environment
at UCSD during the 1960s and 1970s. The photographs often show construction and early landscaping. The images focus on the
Revelle, Muir and Third College campuses.
SERIES 4: EVENTS
Subjects in the EVENTS series range from a Jalapeno Eating Contest to Chancellor McGill's inaugural reception. Glasheen was
particularly active in his coverage of the Chancellor's Associates events, visiting dignitaries and inaugural celebrations.
SERIES 5: COLOR SLIDES
The COLOR SLIDES series contains general images from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the general campus.
SERIES 6: PRINTS
The PRINTS series contains miscellaneous black and white prints showing campus life. Also included are the test prints of
the color enlargements made for the Faculty Club.
