Travel back to Big Red years past (again!) with more of these long-unseen campus images from the 1970s to the early 2000s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Cornellians<\/em> staff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago, we brought you a selection of vintage images<\/a> of student life in summery weather, mined from Kroch Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections<\/a>. As promised, here is part two of these evocative, color-saturated photos from the 1970s to the early 2000s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stored as slides (many of them on glorious Kodachrome) they’ve never before been digitized\u2014and likely have not been seen since the eras when they were shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And stay tuned: a dozen more images from this batch will run with an upcoming feature on alumni’s summertime memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we noted in part one, we doubt that most of these photos were actually taken during the summer rather than the academic year. While some may have been captured during a summer session, we suspect that many derive from the very late spring or early fall semesters, when the Ithaca weather can be tantalizingly balmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you recognize anyone in these photos? Do you see your younger self? Let us know in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
