A cooperative agreement between the University of North Carolina and the Black Mountain College + Arts Center was completed in August of 2009. This collaboration will allow controlled (physical and digital) access to the photographic materials, documents, correspondence, and publications of Black Mountain College and to newly created materials about the experimental college that existed in Black Mountain, NC between 1933 and 1957. As they are inventoried, materials will be brought to the University of NC Asheville for the use of the Museum, the University and the public. 

The scale of the collection is not yet determined, and will be dependent on the final inventory and the incremental process of moving collections to UNCA.  It is planned that the transition of materials to UNCA will occur by late 2009 or early 2010.  The scope of the collection includes the core years of 1933-1957, but will extend to the present day as new programs, exhibits, and publications are completed by the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center.

Art objects or original works of art did not accompany the archival material to UNCA and any inquiries regarding holdings of that nature must be addressed to the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center. http://www.blackmountaincollege.org/
