Julian E. Eubank III Collection
Scope and Contents
The collection contains materials related to the academic career of Julian E. Eubank III, a student at NCSA from 1968-1972. The bulk of the materials were created and collected during Eubank’s enrollment and include school publications, newspaper and magazine clippings, correspondence, class assignments and notes, academic records, production programs, and ephemera. Particularly represented are Eubank’s photographic works depicting campus and local scenes, classmates, and school productions, primarily in the forms of negatives and slides with some photographic prints.
Also included are materials collected by Eubank as an alumnus of the school, including school publications, promotional material and performance calendars, newspaper and magazine clippings, programs, correspondence, and alumni reunion information.
In some materials in this and other collections, Eubank is incorrectly referred to as Eubanks.
In December 2019, Eubank and several of his former classmates met in the UNCSA Archives to identify some individuals, productions, and locations pictured in Eubank’s photographs. The photographs are printed on copy paper and include many notes regarding their subjects. These inscribed images are housed in the stacks next to the collection but are considered a part of the collection file.
