Manuscripts
A manuscript collection is a body of historical materials relating to an individual, family, or organization.
The Manuscripts section of the Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives concentrates on acquiring, preserving, and providing access to collections that document the history, cultural life, economics, and politics of the North Carolina Piedmont. Collections include materials that relate to the subjects of art, education, local history and politics, literature, music, civil rights and human rights, nursing, physical education and dance, politics, theater, university history, and women’s studies. Recent notable additions to our collections include the photographs of former UNCG art professor Arnold Doren, the extensive theater collection of Professor Robert C. Hansen, and the papers of United States Congressman Howard Coble.
