MoreThe NC State University Libraries Oral Histories about the James B. Hunt Jr. Library (2008-2015) contains oral history interviews on the design and construction of the Hunt Library. The people interviewed were staff from the NC State University Libraries, the University Architect from NC State University, and designers from the architectural firms. NC State University Libraries Special Collections Research Center staff conducted the interviews. Interviews conducted in 2008 and 2009 exist only in audio format (WAV); those from 2015 in video and audio formats (MOV and WAV). Written transcripts (PDF format) also exist for these interviews. Designed to be a major competitive advantage for the university, the Hunt Library is a signature building that both enables and reflects NC State’s vision as a preeminent technological research university recognized for its innovative education and research addressing the grand challenges of society. Its bold design is a visual statement of its bold purpose: to be a place not of the past but of the future, a place where students, faculty, and partners can gather to research, learn, experiment, collaborate, and strengthen NC State’s long tradition of leading transformative change.

MoreCollection 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.

MoreThe North Carolina State University Special Collections Research Center Records contain correspondence, brochures, exhibit files, CD-ROMs containing digital projects, and other materials relating to the activities and administration of the department. Materials range in date from 1957 to 2010. North Carolina State University Libraries established the Department of Special Collections in 1993; at the same time, the University Archives - established in the 1960s but with origins dating back to 1939 - was transferred from the Provost's Office to the administrative jurisdiction of the Libraries and - together with Rare Books and Manuscripts - formed the new program. The SCRC supports the research and teaching needs of the university community and other scholars by collecting, housing, and providing access to special collections that are unique and often irreplaceable.

MoreThe University Archives Reference Collection, Biographical Files contain clippings, University publications, copies of photographs, and other materials documenting faculty, staff, and alumni of North Carolina State University. This is an artificial collection, and is updated and maintained by Special Collections staff. North Carolina State University was established in 1887 as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M College). The College opened in 1889 with one building - the current Holladay Hall - six faculty, and courses in the agricultural and mechanical arts, adding a curriculum in applied science in 1893. By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina,. North Carolina State is now one of the constituent institutions of the multi-campus University of North Carolina system, having received university status, and, after some controversy, assumed its current name in 1965. As of 2007, N.C. State had a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly two thousand faculty, and research and program expenditures of over $440 million.

MoreThe North Carolina State University Libraries photograph collection consists of photographs, slides, and negatives depicting the campus libraries, the library staff, patrons, library events, and the Friends of the Library from 1941 until 2006. The first library at North Carolina State University was established in 1889 in a room in Holladay Hall. In 1925 a new purpose-built library building was constructed (now Brooks Hall). In 1954 the current D.H. Hill Library building was opened (originally just the east wing of the current structure). The library space was expanded in 1971 by building an 11-story book tower and connecting the original space with the former student union (now the Erdahl-Cloyd or west wing). Further expansion and renovation occurred in the 1980s, culminating in 1990 with the opening of the second (or "south") bookstack tower. In 2013 the award-winning James B. Hunt Library opened on the university’s Centennial Campus.
