The North Carolina State University Athletics Photographs contain photographic prints, negatives, contact prints, slides, and transparencies that document the history of NC State athletics and supporting activities from 1893 to 2003. North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later North Carolina State University) officially became involved in athletics when it financed the school's football team in 1893, the year after the team's first unofficial games.

As of 2006, NC State University has eleven men's and eleven women's varsity athletic teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
