The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services. The total collection contains over 12,000 color and black and white photographs, including prints, contact sheets, and negatives, taken between the 1950s and 2007.\n","Series 1 contains 1696 folders which contain thousands of photographs; estimated to contain 10,000 photogaphs or more.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.

The office leads the university community in promoting George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.\n","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.\nThe Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.\nToday, Broadside is a modern newspaper. It is generated via computer and is published in a large, folded newspaper format. With two issues each week, it is produced more frequently. Its news is local, national, and international in scope. Besides campus news, the paper features national and world events, entertainment, music, and restaurant reviews, sports, and commentary. Photography for each issue is provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Broadside uses staff photographers and major wire service outlets for its photographs.\n","As publication of the George Mason University Yearbook ceased in 1988, GM View: The George Mason Video Yearbook was born. Mason had maintained a print version of the yearbook since 1965 under various names (i.e. Advocate, By George, Patriotism, and others).\nGM View has been in continuous publication since 1989. Though each year's production is different from the others, they all have maintained the same basic format: a length of about 30 minutes; and coverage of university sports, greek, and campus events (such as Mason and Patriots' Day, International Week celebrations, graduations, etc).\nThis digital collection was created with the kind, generous, and expert help from the staff of GMU TV and Digital Programs and Systems, George Mason University Libraries. \n","The George Mason University Foundation was established in 1966 to advance and further the aims and purposes of George Mason University. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, led by a chairman.\n","The George Mason University photograph collection is a combination of nine series: University Relations, Broadside Student Newspaper, Yearbook Photographs, George Mason University Foundation, Athletic Department, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, photographs from unidentified offices, and Creative Services.
