Buena Vista University. University Marketing and Communications (UMC)

This collection contains photographs depicting the history of Buena Vista College and Buena Vista University through the life of its students and faculty, through campus growth, through events, activities, and student organizations. The majority of photos contain little or no identification, especially where people are concerned. Researchers are encouraged to check the Unidentified files, as well as the Subject files for activities in which a former student may have been involved.

The Iowa Press Service subscribed to all Iowa newspapers and extracted clippings of news items that mentioned Buena Vista College. These clippings were sent to BV, where they were pasted onto oversized sheets of paper and collected in scrapbook fashion. This collection is unprocessed but is open for research.
