In this world of virtual meetings, we thought we’d share a selection of photographs from our collections to use as a background. Travel back in time to Las Cruces in 1905, the Elephant Butte Dam construction site in 1916, or work out of the Physics Department computer lab in 1985.
Click on an image to view the full size, and right-click to save the photograph. Learn how to upload it for use as a virtual background on Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Enjoy!
