UCSB Library Special Research Collections invites past and present Gauchos to help
preserve and share the stories that shape our campus history. Bring up to five favorite
photos from your time at UCSB. We'll scan them for free while you wait, return your
originals, and add the digital copies to the Library community archives project.
From game days and concerts to parties in Isla Vista and surfing Campus Point, student
photographs connect generations and reflect the spirit of student and campus life. Any
photo from your time at UCSB is welcome, and your snapshots will become part of campus
history.
Examples of photos we'd love to see:
- Athletics and game days
- Student organization events
- Concerts and festivals
- Surfing at Campus Point
- Dorm life
- Campus protests and activism
- Roommates and friends
- Life in Isla Vista
- Graduation
