The Frederick W. Kent Collection of Photographs is comprised of about 50,000 prints and negatives. The collection relates to most areas of the University of Iowa, including individuals, departments, and buildings, and it visually documents nearly every decade of University life since classes commenced in 1855. The majority of the images are dated between 1880 and 1980. In addition to University images, the collection includes approximately 2,000 images of commercial and residential structures off-campus in Iowa City, Iowa. The Frederick W. Kent Collection of Photographs is arranged into five series based on format: prints, postcards, albums, safety negatives, and nitrate negatives, and then into sub-series based on subject area. Many, but not all, negatives have matching prints (and vice versa).
