Library staff and volunteers (including former CapU president Greg Lee and former CapU foundation board chair Jeri Krogseth) dedicated considerable time last summer to selecting photos and documents to be digitized for CapU's History. The digitization of these historical assets corresponded with the celebration of Capilano University's 50th year. The project inspired the Then and Now gallery of photos on display in CapU's cafeteria and select stories on the University's 50th anniversary website.
Sorted into the categories of documents, images, media and publications, most of the items in CapU's History are unlabelled. The University encourages alumni, long-time employees and the community to delve into CapU's History to discover hidden gems. If you spot an item that means something to you, note the unique identifier for that item and email relevant details to library@capilanou.ca. At this time, the University isn't seeking additional items for the collection.
