The Archives

The first picture below is an aerial photo of Georgia Tech in 1950s. I found the photo in the archives center and I took a photo of it. It is interesting because from it, we can see the campus building in the past and compare it with the aerial photo nowadays. The second picture is from Google Map, it is also an aerial photo but it is from 2000s.

If we compare the two pictures, we can see:

• The Kessler Campanile, or sometimes called "The Shaft", near the skiles walkway wasn't built yet (it is the black round thing in the upper left corner from the second picture). It is built for the 1996 Olympic Games.
• The Bobby Dodd stadium is a little bit different, maybe it is reconstructed between the time period.
  
• The East Housing Dorms (the left side of Bobby Dodd stadium in picture 1 and the right side of Bobby Dodd stadium in picture 2) is pretty much the same.
• The Skiles Building (the rectangular building with a hole in it) is the same.

From the comparison that we have already made, it is clear that the archives is very important to see about Tech's development from time to time.
