MoreThis collection contains the annual reports of boards, the College, committees, departments, and offices of the North Carolina State University College of Textiles. The College of Textiles at North Carolina State University began classes in the fall of 1899, due to Daniel Tompkins's interest in having a textile program at what was then the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. By 1901, construction began on Tompkins Hall, the first textile building at NC State. The college eventually needed more space for students and equipment, so in 1940 the college moved to Nelson Hall on the western fringes of campus. By January 1991, the college moved to Centennial Campus.

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.

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.

The materials range in date from 1951 to 1984, but the majority of the records are from 1954-1971. In 1952, the Board of Trustees of the Consolidated University of North Carolina established that each of its three campuses should have a Campus Stores Committee consisting of three members of the student body and three faculty. Each Committee was to hear student complaints and suggestions regarding the Campus Supply Stores and advise campus store managers and university administrators as to how the Campus Stores might better serve students and faculty. The Campus Stores Committee, also known as the Campus Stores Advisory Committee, first met at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) during the 1952-1953 school year. Since its formation, the committee has addressed issues such as textbook prices, student difficulties acquiring textbooks, use of store profits, and the selection of items available for student purchase. As of 2011 the group is known as the Bookstores Committee and continues to meet once or twice a semester to assist university administrators and bookstore managers in ensuring the bookstore meets the need of students and faculty at N.C.
