The Moore Collection Book Celebrates AUB's 140 th Anniversary :

The Moore Collection Book: the Franklin T. Moore photographs (1892-1902) is now issued by AUB Press and commemorates AUB's 140th anniversary.

Dr. Franklin T. Moore began photographing AUB campus in 1892. He showed the upper campus buildings in various stages of completion: Dodge Hall before the addition of its extension, the Lee Observatory in its lonely seaside location, the Assembly Hall before Post Hall was built (1897). His camera captured the vast size of the new campus, the undeveloped northeastern mountains, the unpaved Bliss Street, the illustrated history of growth that intrigues and attracts for its beauty and because of the changes, which have taken place over the last one hundred years.

In addition to photos of the above the book contains Franklin Moore.s photographs of science and medicine at AUB, faculty and staff contemporary to his service at AUB, and scenes from Lebanon and in Syria.

The book can be purchased at the AUB Press, Diana Tamari Sabbagh Bldg, room 408.
