Guide to Emory University Archives Photographs

Many of the single-item photographs and other graphic materials relating to Emory's history have been gathered together in a record group called EUPIX. The images are arranged by campus and then subject.

Emory College Class Photographs

The Early Emory College Class Photograph Project consists of more than 1,110 still images dating from 1860-1911. The photographs document the class members of Emory College in Oxford, Georgia, which was founded in 1836. The class and faculty photographs have been digitized and may be accessed on the web:

Other photographs may be found in myriad university publications ranging from yearbooks to the alumni magazine, in collections of personal papers and organizational records associated with Emory; and in other sources. Archives staff will be happy to assist in locating other images.
