Other Campus Image Resources
UCSB Photo Services has an archive of campus photos available for the Web for a fee. If you don't find what you are looking for in their archive, you may hire their photographers to shoot on location or in their studio.
You may also contact the UCSB Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) for photographs.
