Chatham University Yearbook Office Records

The Chatham University Yearbook Records document the process of creating annual yearbooks for the Chatham undergraduate students, including the accumulation of photographs recording important moments during the academic year. The Chatham University Yearbook Records primarily includes photographs created and accumulated between 1987 and 2007 with a small amount of correspondence and clip art used in yearbooks. The photographs depict campus activities and members of the Chatham community including students, faculty, staff, and the Board of Trustees engaged in annual events including graduation, holiday events, and campus traditions like Buckets and Blossoms. Aspects of student life are depicted in the photographs including clubs, dances, study abroad, social gatherings and sports teams. Photographs in the collection include color photographs, black-and-white photographs, born digital photographs, and negatives. A significant portion of the collection is comprised of photographs of unknown date.

The Chatham University Yearbook Records does not include the majority of correspondence or administrative material generated during the creation of yearbooks. The Chatham University Yearbook Records does not include any material relating to the creation of yearbooks before 1987. Chatham Yearbooks themselves are not part of this collection.
