http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua015_010

The North Carolina State University, Athletics, Media Relations Records contain materials related to nearly every sport that has been played at the university, including sports that are no longer active. Types of materials include: press releases, game/event programs, schedules, rosters, clippings, correspondence, brochures, scoring sheets and other game/event notes, photographs, and a variety of other general information documenting the activities of each sport. Materials range in date from 1889 to 2009. Athletics officially began at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later, North Carolina State University) on March 2, 1892, when a football team made up of students at the college defeated a team from the Raleigh Male Academy. After the college's Board of Trustees made the decision to grant the team requested funds in 1893, North Carolina A&M played its first formal (non-scrimmage) intercollegiate game that fall against the University of North Carolina's football second team. In 1921, NC State became a charter member of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, remaining until 1953, when along with Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Maryland, South Carolina, Wake Forest, and Clemson, the university withdrew to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. In 1974, the first women's athletic teams began play. As of 2009, NC State had eleven men's and eleven women's varsity athletic teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Media Relations office (formerly, Sports Information) has existed in some form at NC State since the 1940s, as a reference and records-keeping center for statistics and information relating to NC State Athletics.
