Women's tennis at the University of North Carolina began in the 1930s as an intramural club for female undergraduates. Somewhat later, the club began to host extramural games. A true intercollegiate women's tennis program did not exist, however, until 1970-1971, when the university became a charter member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Tennis was one of six varsity teams for women established at that time. Records consist of the files of Kitty Harrison, who coached the team from 1976 to 1998. They consist chiefly of individual and team performance records and files related to matches and tournaments. Also included are scrapbooks containing team-related clippings, photographs, press releases, and personal memorabilia compiled by Harrison; team and individual photographs; and Harrison's speech at her 2004 induction into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame.
