Biographical / Historical Notes
Several individuals were affiliated with the News Bureau during the time period represented by this collection and probably were responsible for taking these photographs: John Burtner (until his death in 1950), Fred Shideler, Sam Bailey, Fred Casper Zwahlen, and Gwil Evans. The collection is named the Gwil Evans Photographic Collection because Evans probably made arrangements for transfer of the collection to the Archives in the mid-late 1960s.
Arrangement
The bulk of this collection is organized into 98 subject categories (P82:1 through P82:98) such as individual campus buildings, academic departments, activities and events (e.g. commencement), research, and faculty. Each of these categories includes prints and negatives -- the number of which varies significantly from one category to another. Negatives are stored separately from prints -- but are arranged by broad category number (e.g. P82:1) and thereunder by negative number.
