Donald R. Lennon and Dr. Fred D. Ragan collected the slides for use in the North Carolina History course (HIST 3100) that they both taught at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. Ragan's tenure lasted from1965 through 1996, and Lennon taught from 1964 through 2001. During Lennon's tenure at ECU, he also set up and managed the East Carolina Manuscript Collection, now a core collection in the Special Collections department at ECU's Joyner Library.
This collection consists of 504 slides related to North Carolina history. The slides consist of Revolutionary War and Civil War battlefield engravings, maps, people, landscapes and historic homes. Among the specific locations documented are Edenton, Davidson College and Alamance Battlefield. The images include both modern day photographs and older images. Dates reflect when the slides were produced, not necessarily the time period of the image.
