Weber State 125th Anniversary
Weber State University is celebrating their 125th anniversary in 2014. This collection of images provides a historic look at the development and growth of the institution, with a look at the early history of Weber as it prepared to not only move from the 25th Street Campus to the “New Campus” on Harrison Boulevard, but also the academic expansion from College to University.
The Weber State University Archives' mission is to preserve and make accessible materials which document the intellectual, social, and administrative history of the university. We have a wide range of materials related to the university, such as departmental files, faculty papers, athletics records, student life and activities, and student group scrapbooks.
