Please note - This collection does not contain every scrapbook found in University Archives.

The scrapbooks contain brochures, certificates, correspondence, dance cards, doodles, drawings, ephemera, essays, fliers, greeting cards, invitations, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, orchestra contracts, paintings, photographs, playbills, poetry, postcards, posters, programs, publication clippings, receipts, reports, song lyrics, tickets, textiles, relating to campus associations, classes, committees, departments, organizations, residence halls, and schools.

Custodial History

Portions of this collection were formerly cataloged individually as part of the Classed Archives series.

Method of Acquisition

The University Archives Scrapbook Collection was created in 2011 and formed by combining scrapbooks that were originally transferred to or donated to University Archives from a number of different sources. These sources included campus association, graduating classes, clubs, committees, departments, organizations, residence halls, and schools.

Offensive Language Statement

The UNC Greensboro University Libraries collects, preserves, and makes accessible unique and historical materials for learning and research. The nature of historical materials is such that some material may represent positions, norms, and values that are offensive and objectionable. These materials represent the opinions and actions of their creators. By providing access to these records in our reading room and through our digital collections, we recognize that archives and rare books can play a vital role in holding those creators accountable and in helping us learn from the past.

Our finding aids and other collection descriptions may occasionally re-use language provided by creators or former holders of the materials, but we strive to place outdated or offensive terminology in context. That said, we recognize that we may not always make the right decision and welcome feedback from all sources so we can learn and adjust our practices. Please contact us at scua@uncg.edu if you encounter problematic language in our finding aids or other collection description. We will review the language and, as appropriate, update it in a way that balances preservation of the original context with our ongoing commitment to describing materials with respectful and inclusive language.
