Northeastern University Photograph collection
Collection
Identifier: A103
Overview
Northeastern University was founded in 1898 as a primarily commuter school with an all-male student body focusing on engineering and law programs. Since then, the University has expanded and now has six basic colleges, graduate and undergraduate programs in a wide variety of fields, and a diverse student body. The photographic collection reflects the history and development of the University from the early 1900s to the present day, including the expansion of Northeastern's physical plant and the diversification of the academic programs and the student body. The bulk of the photographs are from the late 1950s to the present.
