Welcome to the HPU Archives!
In honor of High Point University’s 100th anniversary in 2024, High Point University Libraries created a digital collection of High Point College and University historical content. This collection highlights life on and around the campus, and is comprised of photographs, yearbooks, school newspapers, alumni newsletters, the letters of the Robert’s Bequest, memory and honor books, college histories, and other artifacts from the 1850s to present. This digital collection is a work in progress, with new items added regularly.
The researcher can browse the collection, or search key terms across the entire collection, then simply click to view the original documents. Alternative views include an interactive timeline and a quick access table, all linked below.
Do remember that the archive contains items that have not been digitized and other items that have been digitized but are not available to the public. We are happy to help if you have a question and would like us to research a topic. Also, we take donations of items that relate to the College or the University.
Please be advised that this collection contains historical content that could be considered offensive. Our collections contain materials that span the nearly 100-year history of High Point University, and consequently document periods of great social change. We feel that it is important to keep these records for historical authenticity, but want to make it clear that they do not represent the current values of High Point University. HPU Libraries is committed to contributing to the university’s goal of creating a safe, inclusive, and diverse environment. If you see any content that you feel is harmful or offensive please call the library at (336) 841-9102 or email the archivist at [email protected] or the Director at [email protected] to make staff aware of the situation and we will work to rectify it. Unless otherwise noted, archived materials are owned and curated by High Point University for the use of the HPU community.
