Established in 1871 as the Cumberland Valley State Normal School (CVSNS), Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, commonly known as Ship, or SU, is a public university located in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, United States, 40 miles west-southwest of Harrisburg, and 30 miles north-northeast of Hagerstown, Maryland.
Shippensburg University is one of the 14 state universities that comprise the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS).
These found photos from Richard that show the CVSNS (Cumberland Valley State Normal School), now called Shippensburg University. Some are hand colored and appear to be home made by a student or teacher. There are hand written descriptions and dates on some of the slides. They seem to date between 1900 and 1912.
