Photographs and visual history

What do “Team” and “General” mean?

Team identifies a photograph centered on a documented school team or season, including formal team portraits and team-focused championship photographs.

General is the broad archive category for an image that does not fit a more specific category such as Championship, Team, Athlete and coach, Campus and facility, or Historical.

These are archive-photo categories—not athletic classifications—and they do not change championship totals.
