Class records of Harvard College, 1788-

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76972735

Archives of the classes of Harvard College and a collection of related publications and reference material. Records relate to activities both as a class while in college and as alumni. Types of material are correspondence and other records of the class secretaries, addresses and sermons relating to the class, records of class committees, scrapbooks, class songs, books from some early class libraries, financial records, and class reunion programs. Other materials are anniversary reports on members of the class, manuscript class books with biographical and autobiographical accounts, newsletters, and some clippings and other reference material. Also included are class photo albums, 1852-ca. 1908, the precursors of today's published yearbooks. Albums contain portraits of faculty and students and views of University buildings. The 1852 album is a wooden case; the later albums contain albumen and black and white silver photoprints. The work of prominent early photographers, such as John Adams Whipple, James Wallace Black, and George Kendall Warren, are documented in these albums.
