Collection Overview

The collection consists mostly of slightly oversized photographs primarily depicting school buildings, school children and teachers, classrooms, and a few unidentified buildings and houses and other scenes in the Wayne County, North Carolina, area, 1890s-1920s. Two depict the Ziegler House in Edenton, and one is a print of a lithograph of UNC-Chapel Hill. The photos are large black and white prints, and most of them are mounted on cardboard.

Biographical/Historical

This collection of photographs was transferred to the State Archives from State Historic Sites. The donor who originally collected and assembled this material is not known; the provenance of the collection has been lost to time. It appears that the collection may have been exhibited in the distant past because hand written labels were affixed to the mounting cards of as many as half of the photographs, and the writing was all in the same hand. Those original labels have been preserved where possible. Some water damage is evident in many of the photographs in the collection but does not significantly impede use of the collection or the quality and beauty of most of the pictures. Photographs in the collection represent the work of several different photographers including A. A. Miller, Goldsboro, NC; Albert O. Clement, Goldsboro, NC; and Orren B. Foust, Concord and Wilson, NC. It is speculated that this collection may have been put together for the Aycock Birthplace State Historic Site and been exhibited there. The Aycock Birthplace State Historic Site is located in Wayne County, the area depicted in the collection's photographs, and it has a strong connection to the collection's theme of education (the Governor Charles B. Aycock Birthplace is a memorial to Aycock who was known as "North Carolina's education governor" because of his many contributions to the state's public school system).
