https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/70144/

Collection of pages from a disassembled photograph album consisting chiefly of images depicting campus life at Barber-Scotia College, located in Concord, N.C., from the early 1930s. Barber-Scotia College was the first female historically Black college or university opened after the U.S. Civil War when it was founded by the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. in 1867. The school was created primarily to educate African American women in the fields of education and social work. Most of the photographs depict students of the school between 1930 and 1934, but numerous images of faculty and staff, and numerous views depicting buildings and grounds on the Barber-Scotia campus are also included. Materials appear to have been created by an unidentified student attending Barber-Scotia College. A majority of the images and pages have handwritten or typed captions that identify people, locations, and events depicted.
