Special and North Carolina Collections: Primary Sources: University Archives

Yearbooks from 1923-2015 have been scanned and made available online through ECU's Digital Collections. Most are full-text searchable.

The collection includes annual course catalogs, summer session catalogs, graduate school catalogs, and special topic bulletins. The annual catalogs were published from 1909 until the present. The graduate catalog was first published in 1941, but was not published regularly until 1968. That year the annual catalog became the undergraduate catalog. The summer session catalog was published separately from 1912 through 1986. In 1938 the catalogs became quarterly publications. The summer catalog was issue number 1 and the annual catalog was issue number 2. The remaining two issues were special topic publications. The special publications continued until 1953.

The Records of the East Carolina University Board of Trustees includes the official meeting minutes of the Board, committee minutes, audio recordings of board meetings, biennial reports for the Governor of North Carolina, and biographical information about Board of Trustee members. The records begin in 1907 when the East Carolina Teachers Training School was chartered and continue through the present.
