Photograph of the library at the University of Puget Sound (then the College of Puget Sound).

It was taken in 1911 at the Tacoma 6th and Sprague site (1903-1924), now the location of Jason Lee Middle School. For more archive pictures and university history, see the Collins Library Archive Website.

This enlarged reproduction of a library archive photo is located in the Learning Commons area on the main floor. The computer workstations nearby are a stark contrast to the students pictured above, who are conducting their research using print materials nearly 100 years ago.
