Collection contains alumni recollections, photographs, and ephemeral materials documenting the student experience, World War II service, and other aspects of the lives of various alumni of North Carolina State University. The North Carolina State University Alumni/Student Collection was created by the Special Collections Research Center in 1996 to centralize future material relating to activities of University students. It was intended for this collection to have the value of a representative sample of these activities. In addition, it was designed to focus on future acquisitions, so no attempt was made to reorganize similar existing collections into the NC State University Alumni and Student Collection. Less
