Atkins Library to partner in a substantial grant to digitize important North Carolina architectural collections
UNC Charlotte’s J. Murrey Atkins Library is a partner in a substantial grant to digitize 3,831 architectural drawings and 923 photographs documenting approximately 730 buildings constructed from 1900 to 1940. The grant, awarded to the North Carolina State University Libraries, is a collaborative effort between NC State Libraries, the State Archives of North Carolina, and the Special Collections Department at the J. Murrey Atkins Library.
Titled Beaux Arts to Modernism: Early Twentieth Century Architecture in North Carolina, the project will digitize drawings of Richard C. Biberstein, Martin E. Boyer, Eric G. Flannagan, Northup & O’Brien, and Herbert Woodley Simpson--five architects/architectural firms who designed important and representative buildings of the time period. J. Murrey Atkins Library will contribute a substantial number of drawings from its Biberstein, Bowles, Meecham, & Reed Records and the Martin Evans Boyer Papers for digitization. This project will create an online resource available to scholars, educators, students, and the general public.
