Photographs and visual history
Visual archive
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.
