The Order of Gimghoul was founded in 1889 by Edward Wray Martin, William W. Davies, Shepard Bryan, Andrew Henry Patterson, and Robert Worth Bingham, all students at the University of North Carolina. The society is secret and available to male students and faculty of the university by invitation only. The collection contains correspondence, minutes of meetings, financial records, constitutions and bylaws, guest and membership lists, descriptions of rituals, newspaper articles about the Order of Gimghoul, photographs, and museum items. These materials reflect the activities of both the Active Order and the trustees of the order (later the directors of the Gimghoul Corporation). Nathaniel Cortlandt Curtis was the architect of the castle in which the order meets; Lyman A. Cotten, Thomas F. Hickerson, George Watts Hill, and Charles Shaffer were among the trustees.
