 Scope and Content Note

This sub-group consists of a variety of records culled and collected from various sources in order to provide a quick, ready access point for general questions and research into the University's history. Sources include the NCSU student newspaper The Technician, the University's Official Bulletin, and numerous other NCSU publications, as well as many local and regional newspapers. This is an artificial and on-going collection, and it is arranged alphabetically with the exception of the General University History folders in Box 1.

Note that whereas academic departments are not designated as such in the folder list below, Colleges and Schools are, so as to make their proper designation clear. In addition, certain older institutional designations or titles appear where the items in that folder date from the period of the older name only (ex: School of Agriculture--now College of Agriculture and Life Sciences--folder in Box 2).
