Collection — Multiple Containers
Identifier: RG 53
Scope and Contents
The architectural records at the Oberlin College Archives relate to the architecture or built environment of the College and the City of Oberlin from the 1830s to the present, except for a handful of isolated references to other places. The buildings which make up the Oberlin College campus, as well as those which are now gone, constitute a rich artifactual document of institutional growth since the founding of Oberlin in 1833. Oberlin’s architectural history is one of eclecticism – a...

Photograph Albums Collection
Collection — boxes
Identifier: RG 32-007
Scope and Contents
The Photograph Albums Collection comprises albums or album contents dating from 1861 to 2000. Fifteen of these date from the 19th century, with cartes-de-visite, collotypes, tintypes, cabinet cards, postcards, cyanotypes, and other early prints. Cyanotypes dominate the contents of albums dating from 1900 to 1910, typically taken by Oberlin students themselves. From the 1920s to the 1960s several College-produced albums feature quality gelatin silver prints made...

Photographs: Class Albums
Collection
Identifier: RG 32-003-003
Scope and Contents
Class albums are photograph albums with portraits of the graduating members of a particular class year at Oberlin College, which sometimes include photographs of faculty members or the president of the College. The date range for these is 1858-1898, but some years are not represented. These albums replace the daguerreotype and ambroytpe group portraits of the preceding two decades as photographers adopted the methods of making multiple prints from wet or dry plate negatives.

Photographs: Hi-O-Hi Yearbook Collection
Collection
Identifier: RG 32-008
Scope and Contents
The Oberlin College yearbook, titled the Hi-O-Hi, is a rich source of photographic documentation from 1889 to 2006, after which it ceased publication. In the final years of the yearbook, publication was erratic. The Hi-O-Hi photograph collection covers the years 1960-61, 1972-77, and the 1980s through 1994. There is less photographic documentation of the College in general for the 1980s though the early 2000s, and this...

Photographs: Miscellaneous Subjects
Collection
Identifier: RG 32-002
Scope and Contents
This classification is distinct from RG 32/5, photographs arranged by subject, and it is unclear as to why earlier Archives staff made that decision. Researchers will need to consult the inventories of both groups to discover photographs arranged by subject. In future, the Archives staff may reorganize the photographic prints to consolidate these two subject-driven groups. A significant amount of material relates to alumni groups and activities, student life, and the World War II V-12...

Photographs: Oversize Prints
Collection
Identifier: RG 32-010
Scope and Contents
Photographs: Oversize Prints is an artificial classification for prints larger than legal paper size (8.5 x 14”). These prints, if smaller than oversize, would have been relegated to the subject classifications used for smaller photographs such as portraits, buildings, and so on. A wide range of subject matter and types of images fall into this group. The physical sizes of the prints determined the way in which they were boxed.
When this group of photographs was first organized...

Collection
Identifier: RG 32-003-002
Scope and Contents
Like the record group for graduate and former students, this group holds portraits dating from the earliest years of photography to the present. However, the earliest images are print copies of daguerreoptypes and other cased images, the originals of which are held in a separate record group (RG 32/3/4). The photographs are arranged into three series: 1. Faculty, Staff, Trustees, and Honorary Degree Recipients; 2. Presidents; and, 3. Other Individuals. Contents of Series 1 and 3 are...
