Many of the single-item photographs and other graphic materials relating to Emory's history have been gathered together in EUPIX. Access to EUPIX is either by general searching or by use of a preliminary, computer generated index.
The majority of these pictures is housed in acid-neutral folders in document cases. Within each series, folders are arranged alphabetically by folder title. Oversized items (designated OP) and fragile items (designated FP) such as cased daguerreotypes are housed separately. The index cumulates information about all items, regardless of format, size and housing location.
The Early Emory College Class Photograph Project consists of more than 1,110 still images dating from 1860-1911. The photographs document the class members of Emory College in Oxford, Georgia, which was founded in 1836. The class and faculty photographs have been digitized and may be accessed on the web:

Other photographs may be found in myriad university publications ranging from yearbooks to the alumni magazine, in collections of personal papers and organizational records associated with Emory; and in other sources. Archives staff will be happy to assist in locating other images.

- ATL -- Atlanta campus, 1915-
Includes graduate and professional divisions, including their various predecessor schools
