Digitalise USC-archive
“By digitising over 25.000 photos of USC, the oldest student association in Utrecht, we make our rich history accessible for the general public and future generations”

USC (Utrechtsch Studenten Corps) is the oldest student association in Utrecht, which is evident from its enormous photo archive. Over 25.000 photos portray the history of student life in Utrecht. The oldest picture dates back to 1850 and 8.000 of them have been printed on glass plates. To preserve the images and make them accessible, it’s necessary to digitalise them. Thanks to the support of the student commission of the Utrecht University Fund and others, USC has received the funds to start with this time-consuming job.
