About digital collections

The Special Collections Research Center's digitization program makes available online digital versions of photographic and manuscript materials from the University Archives and Manuscript Collections. Currently, our online collection includes 1,600 photographs from the University Archives Photograph Collection; 1,500 images from the B.W. Wells Lantern Slide and Freda Wilkins Photographs of the Wells Savannah Collection; and 3,900 photographs and over 17,000 pages of text from Green 'N' Growing: A History of 4-H and Home Demonstration in North Carolina. These online collections cover a variety of topics. Ongoing work will bring our numbers to nearly 10,000 images from the subject areas of rural sociology, health, home economics, plant biology, agriculture, and more. To access images, click on "Search entire image database" above. Or, browse our collections by subject or title.
