Registration for Fall 2023 classes is in full swing on campus, but it looks a little different than it used to. How did you get registered when you were a TTU student? 📸: @SWCArchive

LBK has a rich history of amazingly talented individuals who shaped its growth! You've probably seen the name Mae Simmons around--she was a strong proponent of education in our community, and her legacy is a powerful one. Learn more about Mae Simmons at mylubbock.us/blackhistorymon…

An icon on the Texas Tech campus, we have lots of memories with this old scoreboard, which will be replaced after tomorrow's game as part of the south end zone renovations. Show us your pictures with the Double T Scoreboard! 📸: @SWCArchive

Campus has changed a lot since this aerial shot was taken in 1951. What’s the biggest change that’s happened since you graduated? 📸: @SWCArchive

Appropriate that our last October #ArtifactFriday highlights the Stephen Graham Jones Papers. This delightfully gory illustration is found on the envelope of a thank you card from students of @SGJ72. #sowellcollection #literature #nature #archive #horror #horrorwriter #Halloween

Texas Tech's first stadium, used in 1925 and one game in 1926 and located at the South Plains Fairgrounds. Tech went undefeated against Baylor here. 📸: @AllenRaider1983 / @SWCArchive

#ArtifactFriday! You could recycle it, OR you could send it as a challenge to your Friendly Neighborhood Archivist. One of the biggest obstacles for archivists today is the migration and preservation of data stored on obsolete technologies. #sowellcollection #archvies

A historic day in our school’s history. On Oct. 1, 1925, students attended classes at Texas Technological College for the first time. This photo is from the first convocation, held at 10 a.m. that day. Provided by @SWCArchive

55 years ago this month, the School of Education was established at @TexasTech. Acting Dean Donald McDonald said the school, which was previously a department in Arts and Sciences, would strive to meet “new demands placed on our public schools since Sputnik.” 📸: @SWCArchive
