Dive Into the UC San Diego Archives

Slideshow Description

This article originally appeared in the spring 2024 issue of UC San Diego Magazine as “We Are UC San Diego.”

We are UC San Diego’s finest. We are its crowning achievement. We are the graduates of UC San Diego. 

We have a shared history and a common bond.

UC San Diego Magazine took a deep dive into the university’s Special Collections and Archives and found some “buried” treasures, the earliest of which date back to the university’s founding in the 1960s. 

Did you have a UCLJ shirt? (Short for UC La Jolla.) What about the Trident yearbook from 1968 or the Freshman Orientation Handbook from Revelle College circa the early 1970s, complete with a nod to Camp Snoopy? 

Send us photos of your campus artifacts and tell us what our shared university history means to you at magazine@ucsd.edu.
