It is the home of Mason's print, radio, television and internet organizations.","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. The staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.","The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.","The Broadside became a modern newspaper with a strong student voice through the 1970s to 1990s. The main focus of the paper was on campus news and events, but also included trends and styles, commentary on national and world events, entertainment, music, and sports. In the past, photography for each issue was provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Later they used only digital images. Broadside used staff photographers and, on occasion, major wire service outlets for its photographs.","Broadside kept its name until 2013 when it joined with the student-run news website \"Connect2Mason\" and was renamed again, this time as the \"Fourth Estate.\" Fourth Estate is an online-only publication, though it has published physical supplemental editions.","Series one was processed by Special Collections and Archives staff with EAD markup completed by Jesse Gastelle in 2010. This series was previously included in the George Mason University photograph collection. With series two, original order was preserved with initial description completed by the Student Media Office. Processed by, and EAD markup completed by, Greta Kuriger Suiter in 2013.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the  and other University Archives collections.","maintained by the Creative Services photography staff in the Office of Communications and Marketing.","For more on the history of George Mason University, visit the online exhibit","The George Mason University Broadside photograph collection consists of negatives, contact sheets, and prints created for use in the student newspaper Broadside. These photographs are from the Student Media Office. The total collection contains over 57,000 color and black and white images taken between the 1970s and 2001. The collection includes images of student life, campus architecture and construction, campus events, sports, faculty and staff, concert performances, and art.","Series 1 contains over two thousand photographs taken between 1971 and 1999. Ninety-nine percent of the photographs were taken by Broadside staff members, while the remaining images comprise official publicity photos of individuals or organizations. Topics in the collection include: images of the campus, student organizations, university sports, campus events, university administrative units, the GMU Board of Visitors, individuals, featured entertainers and speakers, local restaurants, and the visual and performing arts. The majority of the images are in black and white with a few color images dispersed throughout. The color images are almost all from the 1990s. Some negatives are included in this series and are found mostly with the sports photographs in boxes four and five. There are also editorial cartoon drawings in box one. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject.","Series 2 is estimated to contain more than 10,000 black and white and color negatives, contact sheets, and some non-photographic material. Clamshell boxes numbered 7 through 21 contain both negatives and contact sheets unless otherwise noted. Clamshell boxes 22 through 28 contain only negatives. Negatives and contact sheets date between the 1970s and 2001, with subjects that include George Mason University commencements and graduations; campus buildings including Fenwick Library, the Johnson Center, Finley building, Krug Hall, and on campus living facilities; images of construction on campus including the building of the Johnson Center; student life; sports; events; concert performances are especially common during the 1990s; local businesses; Broadside and campus staff. The majority of the subjects included are men's and women's sporting events, yearly campus events such as Mason Day and International Week, Broadside staffers, students, and university staff. Titles labeled \"[Untitled]\" indicate the lack of identifying text on the negative or contact sheets. Some negatives are undated and are given a circa date or a decade date range. Many of the undated images appear to be from the 1980s or early 1990s. If the photographers name is known it is included in the scope notes. This series is arranged chronologically.","There are no restrictions.","The George Mason University Broadside photograph collection consists of negatives, contact sheets, and prints created for use in the student newspaper Broadside.

An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. The staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.","The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.","The Broadside became a modern newspaper with a strong student voice through the 1970s to 1990s.

Robert E. Simon, Jr., the founder of Reston, purchased the land with the proceeds from the sale of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1961. Construction began in 1963 with the building of Lake Anne. Simon wanted Reston to be a place where individuals could remain their entire lives, thus many different types of housing were constructed. The focus of Reston, according to Simon, was to develop a place where people could live and work. Essentially he wanted Reston to be a way to live. A priority of this way of life was leisure time, so a wide variety of recreational choices were made available. In 1967, Gulf Oil Corporation formed a subsidiary, Reston Gulf, Inc. and took complete financial and operational control. During the next year, Reston construction proceeded at a quicker pace and the population grew rapidly.","In 1968 the Reston Community Association (RCA) was created to take responsibility for community programs. The RCA's first program was the establishment of the Commuter Express Bus System in March of 1968. The Reston Home Owner Association was created in 1970 by consolidating the original First and Second Home Owner Associations that had been established in 1963. The new RHOA was given also in 1970 the deeds of recreational facilities by the Reston Gulf, Inc. These facilities included Lake Anne, swimming pools, parks and bridges. The Reston Home Owner Association was later renamed the Reston Association in 1987. Today the Reston Association is run by the Board of Directors and several committees and continues to be in charge of designs, covenant for Reston properties, maintaining the open space areas within Reston, and recreational and educational programs for all ages in Reston.","The Reston Association records were originally attached to the larger Planned Community Collection currently in the Special Collections Research Center. In 2008 the papers from the Reston Association were removed and organized into a separate collection. Except for the Series 10, the old box and folder numbers for each folder are also included as part of the new arrangement.","Processed in October 2008 by Emily Martin. EAD markup completed in October 2008 by Emily Martin.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the Planned Community Archives and other personal papers and organizational records that document Reston, Virginia and other planned communities.","The Reston Association records include meeting minutes, budgets, clippings, reports, handbooks, correspondence, and general information on the association. Also included is a series of photography, which has photographs, contact sheets , slides, and negatives. The collection documents the activities of the Reston Home Owners Association, later renamed Reston Association in 1987 to include apartments and condos. The collection covers the period of time from the 1964 to 2006.","Series 1 includes correspondence dated from 1969 to 1997. The letters include information about different meetings, elections and invitations. The correspondence deals with the Reston Association and various aspects of the running of the association. The memos cover a variety of topics that the Reston Association was responsible for including pathways, membership and even cable television in 1985.","Series 2 is titled Director's Files and relate to Dan McGuire and the Reston Home Owner Coalition from the mid-1980s. The papers are from a variety of sources including meeting agendas, personal correspondence and notes. The Coalition appears to be a competing association within the Reston Home Owner Association from a dispute within Reston.
