Collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access will require additional advanced notice. Unless noted, digital media are not available online. Copies of unrestricted digital files will be provided for use in the SCRC Reading Room upon request. Access will be provided to use copies of unrestricted digital files rather than carrier media, such as CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Some or all electronic files may be unavailable or restricted due to privacy reasons, agreement with the donor, software is not available to interact with files, or because files cannot be retrieved from original media.
The M. Edmund Aycock Papers contain programs, membership lists, educational resources, publications, correspondence and other materials related to the history of North Carolina's 4-H program.
As a North Carolina youth, M. Edmund Aycock (1912–2009) belonged to 4-H clubs during the 1920s. He later studied at the University of North Carolina (1929-1933) and North Carolina State University (1933-1936). After working as a county Cooperative Extension agent, he worked at Wachovia Bank and also served as a chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners. Aycock was actively involved in the 4-H Youth Development program throughout his life and founded the Edmund & Elizabeth Aycock Scholarship. This scholarship awards $1000 to a high school senior who participates in 4-H. For his 80 years of service to North Carolina 4-H, he was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. He was also awarded NC State University's Watauga Medal in 1984.
