Claremont Colleges Photograph Archive

This collection contains digital facsimiles of photographs, housed in the Libraries' special collections, of Claremont Colleges' buildings and landscapes. These digital images are the first phase of a larger digitization project that seeks to preserve the original photos by providing online access to The Colleges' archival photographs for teaching and research.

The Archive provides a photographic record of the founding and development of The Claremont Colleges: Pomona College, 1887; Claremont College (now, Claremont University Consortium), 1925; Claremont Graduate University, 1925; Scripps College, 1926; Claremont McKenna College, 1946; Harvey Mudd College, 1955; Pitzer College, 1963; Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, 1997.

The original prints and negatives are in the Libraries' special collections in Denison Library and Honnold/Mudd Library.
