Gettysburg College: Past and Present

Dec. 2018 - Feb. 2019

The Majestic Theater

This exhibit gives a glimpse of life at Gettysburg College campus as it appeared during the College’s first 100 years and how it appears today. All of the black and white photographs on display are exhibited courtesy of Special Collections & College Archives at Gettysburg College. The color photos are courtesy of the College’s Communications & Marketing department as well as the Athletic Communications department.

Some of the early images in this exhibit were created by battlefield photographer William Howard Tipton, a Gettysburg native who apprenticed with local photographers Charles and Isaac Tyson. Several of the other photographs have appeared in early twentieth century publications of the Spectrum, Gettysburg College’s yearbook.
