MoreThe Martha Scotford Research and Study Collection on Graphic Design contains materials from 1675 through 2016 including design works and ephemera, publications, files documenting Scotford’s projects, and design-related reference materials relating to graphic design, book design and typography. Martha Scotford was a professor of graphic design in the College of Design at North Carolina State University until 2013; she began as a visiting lecturer in Visual Design in 1981. She was raised in New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont, and received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Oberlin College in 1966 and both her Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees in Graphic Design from Yale University in 1970. She has published numerous books related to design. In 2001, she spent five months in India as a Fulbright lecturer. In 2007 she received NC State University's Distance Education and Learning Technologies Gertrude Cox Special Merit Award. Martha Scotford donated this collection to the University to be used as a research and study collection for design and the history of design. Her research interests emphasize women in design and feminist theory.
