Main collection of undergraduate matriculation photos, 1923 - 2023
Scope and Contents
Undergraduate matriculation photographs (sometimes called Freshmen or Freshers) in various sizes with some mounted and some are also framed. Full listing is in progress and so only certain photographs (mainly recent accessions and some that are framed) are listed here; most photos are standard format with students seated and standing in rows by the hall steps including some in uniform for the war years. There is also a photograph of those on a military short course in Easter 1943 which also includes some staff and was taken for the purposes of college passes. The photograph for 2020 shows students standing on the lawn in small groups to reflect their bubbles to adhere to social distancing guidelines during the Pandemic.
