General note
This finding aid is designed to facilitate access to a significant resource in the University Archives, the photographs relating to the University of King's College. The archival photograph collection of the University of King's College was assembled over several decades. Various donors, including University Librarians and departments, deposited photographs in the Library and Archives. However, until they were arranged and described during this project and this finding aid was produced, the photographs were largely inaccessible to researchers.
The photographs, with the exception of the yearbook pictures, have been described to the item level, using the Rules for Archival description. Light cleaning was done in a few instances, but no other conservation work has been undertaken on the photographs. After being described, each photograph was enclosed in an acid-free envelope or other appropriate protective container or holder, which was labelled with the photograph's item number. The photographs were then placed in boxes on shelves in the secure climate- and light-controlled Archives storage area of the University Library.
Concurrent with the preparation of this finding aid, photocopies were made of each described photograph, for use as a reference tool in conjunction with the finding aid, in order to protect the original photographs from undue handling.
