In 1909, James E. Shepard founded the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. The school was later known as North Carolina College for Negroes (1925-1946), North Carolina College at Durham (1947-1968), and, beginning in 1969, North Carolina Central University. North Carolina Central University was the first state-funded liberal arts college for African Americans in the United States. The collection is mainly photographs but also contains newspaper clippings and organizational files of North Carolina Central University faculty and staff. Included are files on John Hope Franklin, Marjorie Browne, Alex M. Rivera Jr., Zora Neale Hurston, John B. McLendon, Barbara Logan Cooke, Ernst M. Manasse, Joseph S. Himes, Sing-Nan Fen, Waltz Maynor, and Omeda Reynolds Livingston. Images consist of portraits, still images, and group photographs. Organizational files and newspaper clippings describe the work and achievements of the North Carolina Central University faculty and staff.
