Idaho State University’s Special Collections and Archives now features three new digital collections of images from the period when ISU was the Idaho Technical Institute (1915-1927), the University of Idaho-Southern Branch (1927-1947) and Idaho State College (1927-1963).

The photographs are part of ISU’s University Archives photograph collection, which consists of thousands of images and negatives depicting the history of the University.

ISU Photographic Services transferred thousands of negatives to the University Archives earlier this summer, spanning the years 1958-2003. These are currently being inventoried, and eventually will be digitized and placed online.

To view the collections, visit http://cdm16942.contentdm.oclc.org/.
