This item set comprises a digitised collection of photographs documenting aspects of student life, staff, sporting activities, and the built environment at Rhodes University College during the period 1922-1925. Known as the E.C. Workman Rhodes University Collection, the materials provide visual evidence of the early institutional history of Rhodes University and reflect the social and cultural milieu of the university community in the early twentieth century.
The collection includes group portraits of academic staff and students, images of university residences such as College House and Botha House, and photographs of student sporting teams, including cricket and tennis teams. Together, these images offer valuable insight into campus life, leisure activities, and institutional identity during a formative period in the university’s development.
