MoreThese records contain background research materials and notes created by I. T. Littleton during the writing of his book entitled The D. H. Hill Library : An Informal History, 1887-1987. The first library at North Carolina State University was established in 1889 in a room in Holladay Hall. In 1925 a new purpose-built library building was constructed (now Brooks Hall). In 1954 the current D.H. Hill Library building was opened (originally just the east wing of the current structure). The library space was expanded in 1971 by building an 11-story book tower and connecting the original space with the former student union (now the Erdahl-Cloyd or west wing). Further expansion and renovation occurred in the 1980s, culminating in 1990 with the opening of the second (or "south") bookstack tower. In 2013 the award-winning James B. Hunt Library opened on the university’s Centennial Campus. In 2016, NC State University Libraries won the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, bestowed by the Institute for Museum and Library Service. The medal was presented by First Lady Michelle Obama to Director Susan Nutter during a ceremony. Susan Nutter retired from the Libraries in 2017, after an esteemed 30 year tenure.

MoreThe North Carolina State University Athletics Department Subject Files contain correspondence, contracts, forms, newspaper clippings, minutes, certificates, pamphlets, and schedules. The records are the subject files of the North Carolina State University Athletics Department. The records date from 1909 through 1976, although the bulk of the files are from 1945-1965. Athletics began officially at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts on March 2, 1892 at what is today Raleigh's Pullen Park, when a football team made up of students at the college defeated the Raleigh Male Academy, a local high school, by the score 12-6. That fall, the team scrimmaged for the first time against the second teams of area colleges. After losing to the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest, the football team decided that they lacked the funds necessary to compete on an equal level with other colleges and universities. Therefore, they petitioned the college Board of Trustees for fifty dollars to finance travel and team equipment. With this request, the faculty and trustees of the college first became involved with intercollegiate athletics. Since 1947 athletic teams at North Carolina State have been known as the Wolfpack. The University has been a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference since it was formed in 1953.

Much of this material is undated. The Kodachrome slides appear to be from the 1940s to the 1970s. The lantern slides and glass plate negatives date to the early twentieth century and depict the planting, harvesting, sorting, packaging, and selling of crops. The lantern slides were hand colored by Effie Brown Earll Slingerland, an artist and advocate for women's suffrage. With the founding of NC State College in 1889, five academic divisions were created, one of which was the department of Horticulture, Arboriculture, and Botany. Following the general reorganization of the School of Agriculture in 1923, the horticultural extension work performed outside the department became fully integrated with the academic and research activities of the department. Today, the Department of Horticultural Science occupies Kilgore Hall (constructed in 1952), employs over fifty faculty, and continues to play an important role in state-wide horticultural research and extension. The department assumed its current name in 1962.

The College of Textiles at North Carolina State University began classes in the fall of 1899, due to Daniel Tompkins's interest in having a textile program at what was then the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. By 1901, construction began on Tompkins Hall, the first textile building at NC State. The college eventually needed more space for students and equipment, so in 1940 the college moved to Nelson Hall on the western fringes of campus.
