The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Horticultural Science contain newsletters, budget information, academic and administrative reports, departmental publications, memoranda, and information regarding departmental programs and events. A significant amount of the collection consists of material relating to the J. C. Raulston Arboretum. Also included are publications produced with the North Carolina Commercial Flower Growers' Association. The paper records range in date from 1924 to 2013, but the bulk fall from the 1950s to 1990s. This collection also includes a large amount of photographic materials, including Kodachrome slides, lantern slides, photographs, and negatives. Much of this material is undated. The Kodachrome slides appear to be from the 1940s to the 1970s. Most of the remaining photographic material appears to date from the first half of the twentieth century, with a fair amount from the early 1900s and 1910s. With the founding of NC State College in 1889, five academic divisions were created, one of which was the department of Horticulture, Arboriculture, and Botany. Following the general reorganization of the School of Agriculture in 1923, the horticultural extension work performed outside the department became fully integrated with the academic and research activities of the department. Today, the Department of Horticultural Science occupies Kilgore Hall (constructed in 1952), employs over fifty faculty, and continues to play an important role in state-wide horticultural research and extension. The department assumed its current name in 1962.
