Then & Now: The Viewbook

In the 1930s, Haverford's admission viewbook was little more than a bound set of postcards illustrating the college experience. By the 1970s (as shown in the viewbook pictured left) hundreds of words did the talking.

The energetic design of the new viewbook (right) spotlights student agency, and unpacks today’s Haverford by portraying the lives and work of four specific students.

The viewbook also contains contributed (and attributed) observations—whether through words or, in a nod to our image-rich culture, through student-generated photos of campus life.
