Negatives
The Negatives series, glass and film negatives, comprises the vast majority of the collection and are arranged into four subseries: Numerical; Team Portraits; Miscellaneous; and Football Team Portraits, 1896-1942.
The Numerical subseries of the Negatives series is stored in the first three boxes. The portraits in this subseries have been indexed by the subject's name. There are three indexes: athletes and coaches, faculty and administrators, and a third index for those individuals who do not fit into the first two categories.
Team Portraits include lengthy runs of the football, baseball, basketball, golf, gymnastics, track, and wrestling teams for the years 1948-1969. Only football team portraits are extensive before World War II. However, as these early football team portraits from 1896-1942 are outsize glass negatives, they are stored separately in the Football Team Portraits, 1896-1942 subseries in Boxes 5 to 7.
The Miscellaneous Negatives subseries consists of two negative boxes, containing approximately eighty negatives of miscellaneous unindexed portraits. All portraits in this subseries are from the 1950s and 1960s.
