Classics Department Course "Photographing Antiquity" photographed objects in the study collection of the college's Archives and Distinctive Collections. Each student selected an object to photograph and thought about what aspects of their object they wanted to highlight through photography. The project was designed to contribute to the documentation of the college's collection of objects and help students think about the non-neutrality of photography when it comes to documenting cultural heritage items. Responding to the college's mission to "remain open to that sense of the whole which calls us to transcend ourselves and challenges us to seek that which might constitute our common humanity," students approached these objects using a framework of "wonder." Photographs were taken in the new photography lab in the Classics Department and edited using Adobe software at the MRC. Images display the students' creative photographs and include label texts describing the students' approaches and ideas.
