I just wanted to pass on to all the history buffs out there that UNC yearbooks dating back to 1890 are now digitized and online.

Here are some fun finds: A picture of writer Thomas Wolfe from the class of 1920. I like the intensity of his gaze. Nice.

Want more writer pictures? Take a gander at a photo of journalist Charles Kuralt here:

The yearbooks and alumni magazines were digitized using high-speed scanners in the Carolina Digital Library and Archives in Wilson Library. Each of these types of scanners are capable of digitizing approximately 3,000 pages of text per day. Student yearbooks from 1890 to 1966 are now digital and accessible here.
