The Burlington Textiles Library Vertical Files contain trade literature and company information related to textile products and science.
The Burlington Textiles Library supported curriculum and research programs in textile chemistry, textile materials and management, and fiber and polymer science in the College of Textiles of North Carolina State University.
From 1944 to 1991, the Burlington Textiles Library was located in Nelson Hall. In 1991 it moved into room 4411 of the College of Textiles complex on the Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University. The Library provided services to faculty and staff, students, and the NC State Centennial Campus community and university affiliates. The Library supported the curriculum and research programs in textile chemistry, textile materials and management, and fiber and polymer science. By 2013, the Burlington Textiles Library’s collection had become a part of the James B. Hunt, Jr. Library, also on Centennial Campus.
The Burlington Textiles Library Vertical Files contain trade literature, product samples, and company and organization information, related to textile science and management.
Collection is arranged roughly in alphabetical order by company, or in a few cases, subject. The first set of files contains trade literature including a great deal of product information. There is a second set of files at the end of the series comprised predominantly of company and organization information.
