Weber History

This collection of historic images was scanned from our collection of 4” x 5” negatives of student activities. These photos depict the history of the early days of Weber as it developed and prepared to move from the 25th Street campus to the “new campus” on Harrison Boulevard.   The Weber History exhibit was displayed at the Ben Lomond Hotel in September 2013.
