                  <text>This collection consists of negatives of photographs of Eastern. These were taken by the university photographer and most are photographs that were taken for publication or promotion. Many of these negatives were printed and can be found in the &lt;a href="https://digitalcollections.eku.edu/items/browse?collection=78"&gt;EKU photograph collection&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collection includes photos of campus, events, students and faculty and staff. There are also some images of locations outside Eastern such as Cumberland Falls, Calumet Farm and the Garden of Hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This inventory is not complete and many negatives can only be accessed by contacting Special Collections and Archives. Scans of negatives with only a description can be requested by filling out a &lt;a href="https://archives.eku.edu/audio-visual-duplication-form" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;duplication request&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                  <text>The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).</text>

                  <text>Leslie Anderson kept many documents relating to his time as a student at Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and his early teaching career. He has photographs from these times that cannot be found anywhere else. These, along with his compositions and the scrapbooks he compiled, paint a vivid picture of what it was like to be a student at Eastern and a teacher in Kentucky in the early part of the 20th century. Later documents shed light on the earliest alumni reunions organized by graduates of Eastern Kentucky State Normal School and also offer insight into the later lives of these early graduates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only a portion of this collection has been digitized. See the &lt;a href="https://ekuprimarysources.libraryhost.com/repositories/2/resources/365"&gt;Finding Aid&lt;/a&gt; for a description of the entire collection.</text>
