One block west of Kenmore Square, the Photographic Resource Center, in BU's Morse Auditorium, is one of the few centers in the country devoted exclusively to experimental photography. It also has a well-stocked library.

Curious fact

'Say it ain't so, Joe.' In 1919, the Buckminster was the site of the famous Black Sox scandal. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox - including 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson - were paid to throw the World Series, giving the championship to the Cincinnati Reds. In 1920 the players were prosecuted and banned from playing in the MLB for life.
