Ephemera on North Carolina Artists

Materials in this collection are held in the North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library and include, but are not limited to, gallery announcements, clippings, curriculum vitae and materials printed from the Internet that pertain to an individual artist. The North Carolina Collection defines a North Carolina artist as someone native to the state or in residence for significant periods of his or her career. We create a file for an artist once we have collected three or more items about that person.

These files began with gift materials from Lynn Igoe, the author of 250 Years of Afro-American Art: An Annotated Bibliography. Materials will continue to be collected and we welcome contributions from North Carolina artists.

Additional ephemera collections also address the fine arts in North Carolina. Materials on group shows or exhibitions with limited North Carolina content are placed in boxes that are located in the Vault Collection. These boxes are County Ephemera Boxes and Boxes of Ephemera for Specific Colleges and Universities.

Books and periodicals on the arts in North Carolina may be found in the online catalog by searching under the following subject headings:

Artists—North Carolina
Arts—North Carolina
Arts, American—North Carolina

The table below is an inventory of the files held on artists. This includes only artists with individual files, not the many artists who may be represented by just one or two items in the alphabetical files. The material in this ephemera collection is non-circulating, to be used in the Special Collections Research Room, where a scanner is available.

This collection was organized by Sarah Falls in 2004. The collection grows unpredictably, chiefly through donations. The table below is updated irregularly.
