Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Utah State University Student Activity Photograph collection consists of 398 photographs, depicting a wide variety of student activities on the university campus and in the city of Logan, Utah. Most of the photographs were taken in and around the Student Union (later named the Taggart Student Center). Photographs include various student-sponsored dances (including student committees and advertisements), talent contests and other student musical and theatrical performances, homecoming activities, art exhibits, international student displays, winter carnival, and publicity photos of various professional acts who performed on campus. The publicity photographs represent a wide range of talent of the era, including recording artist and Broadway actor Josh White, Jr., folk singers Bob Gibson and Ruan Mackinnon, comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory, jazz pianist Vince Guaradi, and modern dance artist Barry Lynn.
Nearly all the people in the student photos are unidentified. The publicity photos for professional artists are all grouped together, representing the entire period. Care should be taken not to violate copyright with these images. There are a number of duplicates scattered throughout the collection.

Administrative InformationReturn to Top
Arrangement
The collection is roughly chronological, though the year a particular photograph was taken can only be inferred by dates given in advertisements in a few of the photographs associated with that particular event. For example, several photographs of a dance with Christmas decorations evident in the photograph are filed (presumably in original order) with a photograph of the advertisement for that dance. Those dates range from 1962 to 1966, based on dates evident in several photographs. Other photographs, such as talent show winners and international student displays, are grouped by like activities and few clues are provided as to the date they were taken.
Acquisition Information
The donor and manuscript collections files and the accessions database in the Utah State University Archive do not contain donor information regarding this collection. It is likely that the collection was delivered as a single unit directly to the archive from the student activities office in the Taggart Student Center.
