PCC Library Blog

The State Library of North Carolina provides digital access to past issues of Our State magazine. You can browse full issues from when it was first published in 1933, as The State, all the way up through 2020. The most recent issues are available in print at PCC Library. 

Did you know that the Library houses the campus archives?

There are also a significant number of PCC general catalogs and yearbooks that have been digitized and made available online. Take a look at the Library's PCC Archives page to see what is available. 

What types of materials are found in the archives?

The Pitt Community College Archives collects materials of permanent historical and/or cultural value generated by and for the administration, academic departments, faculty, staff, special programs, and student organizations. This includes artifacts, official records, correspondence, papers, and publications.  Through its collections, the archives promote an awareness of the diverse history and culture of PCC and our role in the community.

What about photographs?

Although not part of the archives held by the Library, you can view photographs taken by campus photographer Rob Goldberg by visiting Pitt CC on Flickr.
