The Brandon University Photograph collection is an artifically created collection. It includes photographs from both Brandon College and Brandon University.
Custodial History
The custodial history is varied. Some photographs were created by officers of the College and the University, or were produced at the request of the institution. Many, as well, have been donated by former faculty members and students. We have tried to record the custodial history for photographs that have been donated by faculty members and students at the item level.

Hamilton was hired in 1984, as a Brandon University employee but became a Cook from approximately 1989 until 2002. In 2002 she became the Manager of Food Services at Brandon University, as a Brandon University employee. In 2003, the contract for Versa Foods (formerly called Aramark Canada) expired, and Brandon University decided not to renew the contract and decided to operate the Food Services themselves, with Hamilton remaining a BU employee. The position was renamed Food Services Manager (replacing Food Services Director) c. 2002; Food Services is part of Ancillary Services, which is headed by the Director of Ancillary Services with the Food Services manager reporting to that individual.
