I\u2019m a third year student studying History and Material Culture. I love history a lot and since U of T was founded in 1827 it has a lot of history in its halls. Looking through the university archives (http:\/\/www.heritage.utoronto.ca\/UTA\/Imagebank<\/span><\/a>) is an amazing way to get an idea of what U of T was like in the past, what students used to do, and how buildings have changed over the years (one of my favourite pictures shows a bunch of awesome VW Bugs in front of Innis. Sadly I couldn\u2019t make it work for this post so I\u2019ll leave you to hunt for that one on your own).\r\n\r\nBelow are some images from the archives imposed on current photos of campus - a little time machine of sorts.\r\n\r\n

Seeing two processions nearly 100 years apart that looked very much the same was kind of awesome.
