The Photographs Collection includes thousands of photographic prints, negatives, contact sheets, and reproductions that document the history of Salisbury University from its groundbreaking in 1923 and founding in 1925 to nearly the present.
In 1922, the Maryland Legislature established a commission to determine a location for a two-year college to train elementary teachers on the state’s Eastern Shore. A site in Salisbury was selected and the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury opened in September 1925.
The school’s two-year course of study was increased to three years in 1931 and to four years in 1934. In 1935, the Legislature authorized the college to grant Bachelor of Science degrees. The school was first accredited by the American Association of Teachers Colleges (later the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) in 1942 and by the Middle States Association in 1956.
Today, Salisbury University is a nationally accredited, four-year comprehensive university within the University System of Maryland. It offers many distinct undergraduate and graduate degree programs within four endowed schools: the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology, the Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts, the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, and the Samuel W. and Marilyn C. Seidel School of Education and Professional Studies. In 2016, the Honors College was created.
The school’s name has changed several times over the course of its history: Maryland State Normal School (1925-1935), Maryland State Teachers College (1935-1963), Salisbury State College (1963-1988), Salisbury State University (1988-2001), and Salisbury University (2001-present).
The Photographs Collection includes thousands of photographic prints, negatives, contact sheets, and reproductions that document the history of Salisbury University from its groundbreaking in 1923 and founding in 1925 to nearly the present. The photographs are grouped into various subjects, although some of the titles are redundant. For many photos, multiple copies exist in different folders. There are also oversize prints. Some photos have not been arranged into the subjects. In rare occasions, the photograph is identified—all other photos are assumed to have been taken by a photographer in the Public Relations office.
The Photographs Collection is arranged alphabetically by subject.
