Student photograph directories

Extent:

.128 Gigabytes

Scope and content:

The University of Virginia School of Law made this directory available to its faculty, staff, and students on the School's Intranet platform. It is divided into graduating classes, and the students in each class are listed in alphabetical order according to their last names. Low-resolution portrait photographs of most of the students are included in the directory.

The digital files in this series are representations of the original sudent photograph directories.

Acquisition information:

Archivists at the University of Virginia Law Library annually capture the photograph directory from the Law School's Intranet.

Appraisal information:

The student photograph directory originally existed as a series of web pages. Archivists strive to capture the directory in a state close to how it would have appeared to users when it was live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists made appraisal decisions that resulted in the creation of archived resources that might function and look different from the originals.

When using copies of the student photograph directory, researchers should know that they are not identical to the originals. They are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
