Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy the Sun!

Though we're officially a week away from the start of summer, 100 degree days suggest it's already here. While browsing the Archives' photo collection recently, I came across a remarkably appropriate image - a photograph of medical center students relaxing on a roof deck taken sometime during the 1970s according to the photo's record. Looks like my deck on a sunny afternoon!

Thanks to the effort of Elizabeth Shepard, Medical Center Archives' Associate Archivist, our photograph collection has been thoroughly catalogued. Keywords and additional metadata help facilitate efficient searches through the 13,000 images digitized from the collection, making it possible to locate photographs upon request. Here at the Medical Center Archives we do a great deal of this, both for internal (within the hospital and medical center) and external clients.

The bulk of our photo collection is not yet available online for public searching. We're hoping it will be at some point soon, but in the meantime, if there's an image or images depicting activities, events, or individuals you'd like to see, let us know! We'll post them on this blog if no restrictions govern their use. We look forward to your requests!
