There is a rapidly increasing number of high quality resources on the internet that are free and accessible to everyone, including digitized materials from academic libraries, public research libraries, museums, and private archival collections. More and more educational resources such as textbooks are also becoming freely available on the internet. A selection of these open access resources can be found below, and many more can be found in the subject guides for the various art schools and divisions. Look for the orange padlock icon!
Selections from the Archives collections have been digitized and are available to view online.
The UNCSA Archives Digital Collections contain over 13,000 digitized photographs and documents from the Archives collections. Digitization efforts have focused on photographs of the school's Drama, All-School Musical, and Opera productions. Other subjects include Buildings and Campus Views; Campus Life and Special Events; the International Music Program; and the first campus production of The Nutcracker in 1966. Additional items are added to the database regularly as they are digitized.
Digitized copies of the NC Essay (student newspaper), course bulletins/catalogs, and yearbooks are available through DigitalNC, a statewide digitization and digital publishing program hosted by UNC Chapel Hill's Wilson Special Collections Library.
Please note that the material represented online is only a small portion of the physical holdings of the Archives - please consult the Collection Guides or contact the University Archivist to explore material on-site.
