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鈥檚 necessary to digitalise them. Thanks to the support of the student commission of the Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 Fund and others, USC has received the funds to start with this time-consuming job.
