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.

Atkins Library Announces Installation of the Lambdin-Irwin Collection
|
|
J. Murrey Atkins Library is pleased to announce the installation of a permanent exhibit from the Lambdin-Irwin Collection of Egyptian and Sumerian antiquities.
The exhibit of documents and artifacts highlights the work and interests of Rev. Milton B. Lambdin, a student and scholar of the Bible and Near Eastern history. During the first half of the twentieth century, Rev. Lambdin traveled extensively and became a close friend of renowned archeologists, Charles Pfeiffer of Harvard University, and Howard Carter, discoverer and excavator of the tomb of Tutankhamun.
The collection and exhibit comprise an historically valuable snapshot of the formative years of biblical archeology. The Lambdin-Irwin Collection was generously donated to UNC Charlotte by Anne Lambdin Irwin and family. The exhibit is on the first floor of the J. Murrey Atkins Library at UNC Charlotte and is free and open to the public during regular library hours.
