Photo Archive
In addition to the University’s Library’s archive of photos, Marketing also maintains an archive of university images. Most images are available electronically to faculty and staff at no charge.
Please contact the Marketing office with your specific photo request, being sure to include what type of project the images will be used for and date by which you need the files by. If appropriate, you may also include more specific information such as file type (JPEG, GIF, TIFF), the platform you will be using (PowerPoint, Photoshop, Word), and image resolution (dpi).
Marketing does not maintain a collection of clip art or stock images unrelated to the university.
