MoreThis collection contains images of organizations that provided social, cultural, recreational, and professional opportunities for North Carolina State University student, faculty, and staff from 1897 until 1990. The images include group portraits, candid shots, and photographs of large events as well as a handful of scrapbooks.

MoreBlack-and-white and color photographic prints, negatives, contact prints and sheets, printing plates, and reprographic copies of images picturing individuals and small groups of people who have contributed to the history of North Carolina State University. Pictures of administrators, faculty, staff, students, and notable visitors and alumni are included, as well as class pictures. Most of the materials were created to portray a specific individual or small group of people: many are posed and have subject identification on the reverse. The materials date from the 1890s to the late 20th century. North Carolina State University was established in 1887 as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M College). The College opened in 1889 with one building - the current Holladay Hall - six faculty, and courses in the agricultural and mechanical arts, adding a curriculum in applied science in 1893. By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina,. North Carolina State is now one of the constituent institutions of the multi-campus University of North Carolina system, having received university status, and, after some controversy, assumed its current name in 1965. As of 2007, N.C. State had a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly two thousand faculty, and research and program expenditures of over $440 million.

MoreThe University Archives Photograph Collection Student Life Photographs document life on campus for undergraduate and graduate students attending North Carolina State University throughout its long history, although the bulk of these pertain to the years after World War II. Included are general photos and slides depicting campus life; academic life, encompassing studying, classroom time with faculty, and so on; people at the university, especially African American students, who were finally admitted to the university in the mid- to late 1950s as a result of desegregation; social events and other activities, including protests, community service, concerts and outdoor festivals, and recreational activities; graduation ceremonies; and other facets of student life. This collection also includes a few scrapbooks as well as some clippings and other materials from NC State News Services. The North Carolina State University (originally North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts) officially opened its doors in 1889. Classes began that fall with seventy-two students, six faculty, and one building, Main Building, later Holladay Hall. Two general fields of study were available, agriculture and mechanics, with a third in applied science added in 1893. In the late 1940s, after World War II, NC State experienced growth unparalleled in its history. The G.I. Bill brought thousands of ex-servicemen to campus, and enrollment shot past the 5,000 mark in 1947. Major new programs were also created at that time. By the late twentieth century, NC State could boast a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly 2,000 faculty, and research and program expenditures over $440 million.

MoreThe University Archives Photograph Collection Visual and Performing Arts Photographs, circa 1899-1904, 1923-1997 (bulk 1954-1997), primarily document the activities of students in the arts programs administered by the North Carolina State University Division of Student Affairs, including the Music Department, the Crafts Center, the Gallery of Art and Design (later the Gregg Museum of Art and Design), the dance program, and the University Theater program. They also cover some of the professional visual and performing arts events that have taken place at NC State University, including concerts, dance performances, and theater performances by artists and companies not affiliated with the university. In addition to photographs, this collection includes some negatives and other items. Although student activity in the performing arts, particularly in a dramatic arts club, dates back to the late 1800s at North Carolina State University (then the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts), visual and performing arts at NC State University officially began with the formation of the Music Department in 1924. In the late 1950s and early 1960s the Division of Student Affairs, along with the leadership of the Erdahl-Cloyd Student Union, sought to expand arts offerings to the student body. Toward that end, the NC State University Craft Center, Gallery of Art and Design, University Theater, and dance program were established. In addition to these student arts activities, the Division of Student Affairs Arts NC State subdivision brings in performers from outside the university for special events on campus.
