Abstract:

This essay written by Dr. Louis Wilson, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill librarian from 1901 to 1932, describes the negotiations that led to the acquisition of the Stephen B. Weeks Collection of Caroliniana, consisting of nearly 10,000 volumes. Purchased by the University in 1918, the collection formed the nucleus of what was to become the North Carolina Collection in the Louis Round Wilson Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
