Series Description:

This series contains "facebooks," published annually from 1969. A facebook is a bound collection of photographs, names, and hometowns of first-year, transfer and exchange students. Also included is a class of 1945 publication titled "Pictorial" which is similar to the newer facebooks, and unbound publications 1964-1968 much like the "Pictorial." Student Directories (6.1.9) for 1953-1965 include photographs of the students. The 1964-1967 issues however, are incomplete. The name of the publication changed from Facebook to PicBook in 2010 with the Class of 2014, but the content (photographs, names, and hometowns) remained unchanged. From the class of 1969 through the class of 1999 there are both bound copies (comprising two volumes) and an unbound copy for each class year. From class of 2000 onward, there are two unbound copies.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
