MoreRecords relating to projects and initiatives undertaken by the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management in the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University and related programs for the years 1924 - 1985. These records contain articles, brochures, budget records, clippings, photographs, memoranda, and correspondence. Included is information on faculty members, lectures, and department finances. The School of Textiles (later College of Textiles) at North Carolina State University began classes in the fall of 1899, primarily due to Daniel Tompkins's interest in having a textile program at what was then the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Since 1963, the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management (TATM) has functioned as a discrete department (albeit under several different names) within the the College of Textiles. Of course, the College of Textiles has conducted research since its earliest days, both independently and in collaboration with corporate and government partners. And it appears that many of the College's pre-1963 research records have been merged with those of the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management.

MoreCollection contains publications generated by the College of Textiles and its various departments. Materials range in date from 1941 to 2012. The North Carolina State University College of Textiles is the largest of its kind in the United States, offering one of only two accredited Textile Engineering programs in the country. The COT produces more than half of the textile graduates in the United States each year. Almost 20 percent of the graduates serve as corporate managers, and half of those are either board chairpersons or presidents of their companies. The textile industry is involved with more than producing fabric and apparel. Composites, artificial organs, fireproof materials, tire sections and computer circuit boards are just a few of the modern products in the textile industry. More than 150,000 people have been implanted with a knitted polyester artery developed at the COT. The industry continues to need more college graduates with skills in design, engineering, electronics, chemistry, management, computers, apparel, marketing/sales and quality control. In 1991, the COT moved to the North Carolina State University Centennial Campus, where students learn in state-of-the-art laboratories that are unequalled anywhere in the country. Here, students can participate in the Mars Mission, funded by NASA, where one of the world's only automated, three-dimensional braiding machinery creates space-age fabrics and fibers. Special projects are also being conducted to address environmental issues through the Industrial Electrotechnology Laboratory enabling students to learn about more about energy-efficient systems for manufacturing facilities. Because of the strong emphasis on research, development or management in the textile industry, the COT prepares its students with professional skills to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. COT students gain strong backgrounds in mathematics and science, and it pays off; almost all the graduates have professional job offers within three weeks of graduation from the COT. Starting salaries for textile graduates are also among the highest on campus.

MoreThe University Archives Reference Collection, General Reference subgroup, contains brochures, clippings, correspondence and memoranda, news releases, programs, publications, reports, speeches, and related archival material concerning a variety of items relating to the University. This is an artificial collection and is maintained by Special Collections staff. 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.
