Related Archival Materials:
Almost every collection held in the University Archives contains photographs of events, people related to Pepperdine University,
places on campus, and other topics. It is possible that items are split between individual collections and this collection
(Pepperdine University Archives Photographs, Negatives, and Slides). For instance, there are many photographs of commencements
in the Pepperdine University Commencements records, but files also exist in this collection.
Photographs from the files numbered 1 through 1,744 are being systematically digitized and added to the Pepperdine Digital
Collections, in the University Archives Photograph Collection (http://pepperdine.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/).
