The Black Mountain College Collection at North Carolina Wesleyan College

Record #:
21077
Abstract:
When Black Mountain College closed down in 1957, its library collection was sold to the newly opened North Carolina Wesleyan College and is currently the centerpiece of Wesleyan's Black Mountain College collection. The correspondence between the Charles Olson, Black Mountain's last rector and Jasper Smith, Wesleyan's first business manager details the negotiations that took place to put the collection in Wesleyan's hands. The collection at North Carolina Wesleyan contains over 5,000 books and was not fully curated until the mid-1970s.
