Administrative History
The mission of the Public Information Office (PIO), under the auspices of UCSC's University

publications. The collection of photographic materials created and collected by the PIO has
been used extensively in publications including the
UC Santa Cruz
Review
,
Currents, campus
Viewbooks, and the
General Catalog, to share with
the University and the broader community the activities and achievements of UCSC faculty,
students, and alumni.
Scope and Content
The Public Information Office collection of more than 200,000 images contains the
photographic materials that were used to promote the University of California, Santa Cruz,
from the first invitation to the Board of Regents by the city of Santa Cruz to the recent

in the collection document the history and achievements of all members of the UCSC
community. Included are aerial and landscape photographs of the campus and neighboring Santa
Cruz, construction of campus buildings, scenes from daily campus life and activities, and
