Kansas State University History

Kansas State University has a rich and colorful history, much of which is documented in publications and photographic images held by the Richard L.D. and Marjorie J. Morse Department of Special Collections. Included in this collection are materials that depict the people, buildings, and events that comprise K-State history.

K-State Libraries’ digital collections may include images and text reflecting various forms of oppression, including but not limited to offensive language or negative stereotypes. Instances of bigotry reflect the attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs of those that created and participated in them and should be considered records of the era in which they were produced. The collection period includes the modern day, as born digital resources are collected regularly. They are presented here without censorship as evidence of past activities.
