Biographical notes:

The Department of Art was created in 1936. Originally its curriculum was limited to art history; later, courses in studio art were added. The chairman of the Department of Art was also the director of the university's art museum until 1974, when the museum became a separate administrative unit. Established in 1937, the art museum was first located in Person Hall. In 1958, a new building was completed with funds from the bequest of William Hayes Ackland. The museum then moved and was renamed the William Hayes Ackland Memorial Art Center; in 1979, its name changed again, to the Ackland Art Museum. (Records of the art museum after 1974 are a separate record group).
