Introduction to the Collection

The Bucknell History Collection is a database of nearly 2000 digital images and other artifacts related to the history of the University. Images are restricted to Bucknell faculty, staff, and students, although we do hope to be able to offer a publicly-available subset of images related to the early history of the University in the future.

The Bucknell History Collection was created with support from a number of departments and individuals. Deserving particular mention is Assistant Education Professor Russ Dennis who spent countless hours reviewing data, suggesting changes and improvements, and helping us to identify details in photographs.

Viewing Tools

The collection is viewable through Insight software. The collection is currently restricted to members of the Bucknell community. Upon request, a subset of images from the collection can be made available. Contact Dan Mancusi, Academic Services Application Developer (dmancusi@bucknell.edu) for details.

Metadata Schema

The metadata schema used was loosely based on a combination of Dublin Core and locally-created databases.
