Into The Wayback Machine

As I was researching some sources for a class project, I inadvertantly rediscoverd the Virginia Tech Imagebase. The university is home to many old collections of photos and special historical collections, donated from various sources. Thanks to the Interweb, most of them are online for everyone's viewing pleasure. I got on a kick of looking at old pictures of Tech's campus for a while tonight. That kind of thing just fascinates me. No joke. I love looking at pictures of buildings that still exist today and comparing how they look now to when they were new and in a quieter, simpler time.

Take this aerial view from 1967, for instance. I've circled what I believe to be a then nearly-new Wesley Foundation building (though it may not have been Wesley back then yet), where I currently reside. How many campus buildings do you recognize?

If this kind of thing blows your mind like it does mine, go on and do a few searches. I'll be posting more as I find ones that pique my interest.
