Archives Assistant Ignacio\u00a0Bracamonte reflects on the Broadside scanning project<\/a> and picks an image to share from the recently digitized, and now available online, box 7.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was very excited to start this new project that Special Collections & Archives offered last semester. It has been over six months since my co-worker Liz and I started with the digitization of Broadside\u2019s collection of photographs. I personally believe that working here, has involved me into George Mason more than ever. I am exposed to hundreds of images every day, where I witness the university\u2019s development, history, important events, and even everyday life photos that were taken by students like me; the members of Broadside, George Mason\u2019s student newspaper.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0 working at Special Collections & Archives, I have familiarized myself with many of Mason\u2019s personalities and it is very easy for me to recognize them throughout the images: the faculty and staff members, the students, and the members of different organizations. After a while, you get a sense of affection to these personages and you can\u2019t wait to know what happens next.<\/p>\n

Rubenstein, Michele J. Opening of North Campus Broadside Office 5. October 14, 1973. George Mason University Broadside photograph collection, Collection #R0135, Special Collections and Archives, George Mason University.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is one of my favorite photographs, where Jay Caine, director of Broadside, is inaugurating the newspaper\u2019s North Campus office. Next to his colleagues, Jay Caine is about to cut the ribbon and establish a new office for George Mason’s student newspaper. This is a very symbolic image because it represents the beginning of Broadside. Even though the photograph was taken on October 14th of 1973, the newspaper endures and remains apart of the student experience at George Mason today.<\/p>\n

Ignacio is currently scanning negatives from the Broadside photograph collection<\/a>. The first box (box 7 in the collection) of over 900 digitized images <\/a>are now available online.<\/em> For more on the history of the student newspaper at Mason see the student newspaper exhibit blog post <\/a>or visit the exhibit on the second floor of Fenwick Library until late April 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
