Scope and Contents

This archive holds photographic materials where the Chancellors of UNC Asheville is the primary subject. Six chancellors, and one interim chancellor, serving between 1969 and 2014, are included. Usually the subjects have posed, or photographed at formal events, but there are some informal shots and, in the cases of William Highsmith and David Brown, images that were published in the Summit yearbooks.

In 2015, following the retirement of Anne Ponder, various prints and digital images were received from the Chancellor's Office. These are collected in Box 2 along with general photographic materials received from the Chancellor's Office.
