We're sad to hear about the passing of the great Dolly Parton. Along with being a singer, actress, and style icon, she was also a steadfast supporter of childhood literacy through her organization Imagination Library. We're happy to have promotional photos and a copy of her first single, Puppy Love, in the Southern Folklife Collection in Wilson Library.

Calling everyone who loves Carolina! Start the school year off with a bang by attending our first Carolina History Tour of the semester on Friday, 8/21!

Led by University Archivist Nick Graham, attendees of this walking tour will learn how the University was founded, the story behind campus landmarks, and more! This event is free, open to all, and counts as a CLE. Advanced registration is required.

Can't come on 8/21? We'll be offering the tour monthly throughout the fall semester. See the registration page in for more information: https://apps2.research.unc.edu/events/index.cfm?event=events.go&key=CFAA

Students, we're SO amped to see y'all on Monday. We hope that move-in this week has been going smoothly! For those still moving: remember to lift with your legs, take breaks, and stay hydrated.

These photos depicting residence hall move-in from 2015 look very similar to today. (News Services of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill collection in UNC University Archives)
