Digital Archive

This page provides access to several small collections of photographs taken around the Georgia Tech campus, most from the 1960's. The filename of each photo usually gives some indication of the location; also, some locations are marked by red arrows on the photo key map (pdf). The filenames also usually indicate the date of the photo, when known. The format is yyyymmdd, where yyyy is the year, mm the month, and dd the day. For example, a file with "196605" in the name indicates a date of May, 1966.
