[SOA] archives presence at Homecoming events

[Barb Sedlock]

For the college/university archivists out there:

What if anything does your archives/special collections department do
at your college/univ's Homecoming events?

For some years now I have been staffing an archives "booth" at the
tailgate tent before the football game, taking extra print copies of
our old yearbooks for the alumni to look at, and also taking 3-ring
binders of unidentified photos from the archives, hoping alums will
look through them and help us ID them.   The latter has limited
success, I might get 8-10 photos ID'd that way out of maybe 100-150
photos that I take to the booth.

We are wondering if other colleges might have different means of
raising the archives' profile at alumni events?
Thanks,
