The Institute of Government was established in 1932 to provide training, consulting, and research services for state and local governments in North Carolina. It is one of the oldest university-based organizations of this sort in the United States and has gained distinction for the comprehensiveness of its programs. Although Albert Coates, who directed the Institute from 1932 to 1962, was on the faculty of the University's School of Law, the Institute was independent of the University until 1942, when it officially became an administrative unit. Currently the Director of the Institute reports to the Provost of the University. Records include correspondence and other files relating to the administration and programs of the Institute of Government, including a number of files, 1928-1932, documenting Albert Coates's plans for the Institute and his efforts to gain support for it. The records include a series of forty interviews conducted in 1972 with educators and state officials on the reorganization of higher education in North Carolina.
