George Mason University, previously George Mason College, was founded as a satellite campus of the University of Virginia
in 1957. With limited resources, the college began to offer the first two years of liberal arts degrees, pre-engineering programs,
and some advanced language and science courses in 1966. The campus was still in its infancy when Doug Nelms became a student
there. George Mason College only hosted the North, East, South, and West buildings, while the original Fenwick library was
still being built. It gained independency in 1972, becoming a full four-year school. Nevertheless, the small campus and small
student body functioned as a normal college, hosting many clubs and parties.
Box 1 contains photograph negatives taken by Nelms during his time at George Mason College. The content is split into four
different catagories: school events, campus and construction, faculty and students, and student groups. The collection also
contains a brochure advertising for the new campus and several finished photographs. Box 2 contains some promotional materials
and finished photographs.
This collection is arranged by subject. There are four subjects: school events, campus and construction, faculty and students,
and student groups.
