Photographs
- Scope and content:
-
Series 3: Photographs, 1979-2006, represents the bulk of the collection. The series consist of photographic material of and pertaining to the Eta Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi. The photographs begin with the chapter's creation in 1979 to 2006.
The majority of the photographs portray the members of the Eta Omicron chapter participating in group events or providing services to the Marching Royal Dukes. There are also scattered photographs of the Marching Royal Dukes in performance at assorted events and football games. Instances of these photographic topics are represented in nearly every year, including the undated photographs.
Also included are candid photographs spanning nearly every year represented in the series. The candid photographs portray the Kappa Kappa Psi members, often with Tau Beta Sigma members, relaxing in personal apartments, giving a look into student off-campus life. Several photographs are taken inside apartments in The Mill Apartments complex in Harrisonburg, a traditional off-campus living location for Kappa Kappa Psi, Tau Beta Sigma, and Marching Royal Dukes members.
Negatives and slides are stored in their original envelopes or cases where applicable for organizational purposes.
