- Scope and content:
-
Mostly produced by the Public Relations department for publications such as The Whetstone and The Pilot, the prints are arranged into Events, Historic Images, Other Public Relations, People, and Places subseries, and within, chronologically.
Of note in this series are historic photographs of North Carolina Mutual offices, leaders, and staff; as well as early images of the families of its founders. These early images were arranged in various groupings by staff, and are found in other series in the collection, especially as reproductions in the Printed Materials Series.
Formats include 19th century and early 20th century prints such as cartes-de-visite, platinum, and gelatin silver prints, as well as modern black-and-white prints. One may also find negatives, slides and some related paper records in the series. Panoramic prints, largely associated with events, and other large format images are found in the Oversize Prints section listed at the end of the series.
Photographic materials, especially early and mounted prints, can be fragile and vulnerable to damage. Please handle carefully.
