Photograph, Image, and Audiovisual Collections

Archival collections of photographs and other audiovisual materials are described using finding aids in ArchivesSpace. Unlike many archival collections, photographs are generally organized by subject.  Simply search the database as you would a library catalog. For a brief tutorial on using ArchivesSpace, visit Using University Archives.
   
Digital UNC contains digital resources from the archives, including photographs, scrapbooks, and videos. For more information about Digital UNC, visit Using University Archives.
