Background

Scope and content:

These campus views trace the development of the Berkeley campus from its first buildings in 1873 to the present. These generally consist of views of larger areas of the campus, from a few buildings to comprehensive aerial views. Photographs of individual buildings have usually been assigned to a separate category for each building.

Names of photographers have been noted when known, but many of the photographs lack such information. Dates of particular events are known, but many photographs have only approximate dates.

The collection is primarily of black and white photographic prints, but it also includes some color photographs, and in addition black and white as well as colored postcards, both photographic and printed. Items 8x10 inches and smaller have the designation UARC PIC 03; oversize items have the designation UARC PIC 300.
