Re: College/University Archivists



The first yearbook of the University of Pittsburgh was in 1907 although the
institution was founded in 1787.  The yearbook (Owl) had printed photos of
faculty, students and others.
Prior to 1907, the annual catalog printed the names of students and alumni
(as well as faculty) but did not have photos.
