Photos illustrating the evolution of the campus from 1943 to the present can be viewed in a Web exhibit linked from the Library Web site under “Highlights.” The exhibit includes 21 photos, beginning with an aerial view of the campus in 1952 when it was located on Oak Lawn Avenue near the intersection of Maple Avenue. Also from the 1950s is a photo showing the present South Campus before any buildings were on the site. The exhibit ends with a recent aerial view showing the entire campus area in 2008.
Most photos in the exhibit come from the Library’s UT Southwestern Archives collection. Photos in the Archives span the years from 1943 (when the medical school was founded) to the 1970s. Anyone with an interest in the history of UT Southwestern and its people is welcome to use the Archives, which also contain extensive holdings of publications by and about UT Southwestern, such as:

• Medical school yearbooks (1944 to the present, with some gaps)
• Faculty & Administration Photo Directories (1971 to 2007)
• Campus phone directories (1943 to 2001/2002)
• The Center Times and its predecessor publications
• Books about the history of UT Southwestern

The Archives of St. Paul Hospital (now University Hospital – St. Paul), from its founding in the 1890s up through the recent past, have also been incorporated into the UT Southwestern Archives.
