This collection is a combination of several different accessions of prints, negatives, contact sheets, color slides and digital files that were created by the University Photographer and others in the Columbia University Office of Public Affairs. The collection documents many events held on campus (e.g., commencement, homecoming, 1968 protests), the Morningside campus, individuals (faculty, student athletes), and sporting events.

These records document the history of the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry, beginning with its establishment in 1768.

These records exist in a wide variety of formats, such as bulletins, correspondence, minute books, and printed materials.
