http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/uars/ead/40181.html

The Cooperative Program in the Humanities was a joint program of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. Created in 1963, it operated until 1971, supported by grants from various foundations. Its chief activity was the awarding of fellowships to humanities faculty at colleges and universities in Virginia and the Carolinas. Selected faculty spent an academic year engaged in study and writing at UNC and/or Duke.

Records include correspondence of the program's chairs, minutes of its Joint Central Committee, and various reports and brochures related to its activities, including some materials relating to the Southeastern Institute of Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
