Creation of the Views files
The Views collections were compiled by Harvard University Archives staff starting in approximately the late 19th century. Staff generally interfiled photographs or other 2-dimensional images, regardless of their source, into categories based on a location, building, or landscape feature and for ease of reference. The photographs either entered the University Archives alone or within larger collections or record groups. This practice was ceased by the year 2000.
