Photographs of student life in Brussels
In CAVA’s photo collection you will find thousands of photos of life on campus and student life in general. These photos illustrate the gala balls, the 12-hour run, initiation ceremonies, the Spel zonder grenzen (a game between the student societies of different faculties), life in the student houses of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel ... They were taken by students and alumni, by the various regular photographers of the VUB, by university employees or CAVA.
A large number of these images can be viewed via our online catalogue. Did you find a description that interests you, but there is no image linked to it? Then this picture is not digitally available yet. In that case you can consult it in our reading room.
You can request a digital copy of some of the photos in our collection. What can and is allowed depends on the copyright on the photo, the persons, buildings and works of art depicted in the photo and the purpose for which you want to use the photo. When you request a digital copy, depending on the type of use (research, publication, personal or commercial use) permission will have to be requested from one or more parties and you might also have to pay a fee.
