The Stockton Archives announces the completion of our Portrait and Photograph Collection, a project made possible by a grant from the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
This collection consists of photographs and artwork of our University campus; portraits and photographs of beloved faculty members, alumni, and Board of Trust members; composites from fraternities and honor societies; athletic posters; and various artifacts from our past. The digital collection highlights everything from the late 1880s through present day, giving the public access to a small portion of our collection for the very first time.
