Throwback Thursday: Holiday Family Time Edition
Each week we’ll be posting a photograph from University Archives that shows a scene from KU’s past. We’ve also scanned more than 34,500 images from KU’s University Archives and made them available online; be sure to check them out!
Happy holidays, Jayhawks! We hope all of you will be able to spend time with loved ones during the holidays this year.
Remember that Spencer Research Library will be closed tomorrow (December 23rd) through Monday, January 2nd.
