Today, as I write in early September, an enormous relief effort in the wake of Hurricane Katrina takes shape. The Carolina community is mobilizing with concerned people everywhere to provide aid and support in every imaginable form. Campus organizations are collecting and delivering supplies, the university is welcoming displaced students, and our medical personnel are serving in affected areas. Catastrophe again reminds us how deeply compassionate Americans can be. In the library we know that vital collections of books and cultural heritage will need to be rebuilt and recovered, and we are considering the best ways to offer our assistance. Against this backdrop, we are especially glad to reflect in this issue of Windows on the importance of gifts in the everyday life of our library, quite removed from disasters and crises. Philanthropy is a distinctly American phenomenon practiced at every level of income and in nearly every walk of life. Giving to Carolina’s libraries typifies this great spirit that ennobles our country and enhances the quality of our lives. Gifts to the library are both small and very large—this year, for example, we received donations of $5 as well as the pledge of a collection valued at $2 million. Donors range from students to University faculty and administrators, and from “ordinary” North Carolinians to some of the wealthiest people in the South. This year, our donors made more than 3,555 individual gifts to the library, supporting dozens of particular interests. We receive books, of course, from the very plain to the splendid, and also unique manuscripts, rare recordings, and notable art works. Recently we received an authentic set of NBC chimes from the early days of network radio. Gifts support a small but very welcome bouquet of flowers, refreshed weekly, in the Davis Library main concourse and donations provided the beautiful cherry furnishings for the R.B. House Undergraduate Library. Our donors are increasingly knowledgeable about library needs in the fast-changing electronic era and so they are more often giving flexible dollars that can be used for everything, from software development, to book-buying trips in developing regions, to the high-end equipment our students and researchers require. Philanthropy is at the heart of our national spirit because it connects us with each other in so many different ways. Private giving saves lives, alleviates hunger, and softens loneliness and despair. Donors to libraries also touch lives. Years ago I encountered an acquaintance emerging from the library stacks. It was easy to see that she had been crying. When I inquired she told me that she had been browsing from book to book and happened to pick up a particular volume. Upon opening it she discovered from the bookplate that it had been given long ago in honor of her aunt. Her aunt had died just the week before, she told me, adding, “My aunt would have loved this coincidence, and somehow, knowing her name will always be here in the library’s collection for others to find is a great comfort to me!” Dear Library Donors –Friends of the Library – thank you so much for every thing you do for Carolina’s libraries. Please be assured that whatever form your gift takes, it will last for generations and will touch lives in ways that you may never know.

Michalak 2 Sometimes Andy just beats all By Patrick Winn, Staff Writer, The Raleigh News & Observer SEPTEMBER 10, 2005 North Carolina Collection, University Library, UNC-Chapel Hill Andy Griffith was so homesick he could die. It was his first night in a University of North Carolina dorm, and the freshman comforted himself by penning a letter to his folks back in Mount Airy. “I think I like it here,” Griffith wrote. But in truth, he was unsure of his new life at the university, where his high school principal said they’d eat him alive. Instead, they ate him up — and Griffith's performing career of nearly 60 years was born. Now, with his working days all but over, the internationally known actor is ready to make UNC-Chapel Hill the Tar Heel icon Andy Griffith gives archives to Carolina 3 permanent home for his memorabilia. “It’s time for me to pass this on to you folks,” said Griffith, 79, as he held aloft scripts from “The Andy Griffith Show” on Friday at the university. The letters, postcards, film reels and playbills already gathered at UNC-CH’s Wilson Library offer only a taste of what's to come. University faculty and Griffith himself have yet to sort through boxes of keepsakes still sitting in the actor's California house and his home in Manteo on North Carolina’s coast. More than a year may pass before the Andy Griffith Collection is on display in the university’s Southern Historical Collection, the largest collection of artifacts from the American South. Photograph by Dan Sears So far, the collection includes every script of “The Andy Griffith Show” — used and marked up with pencil — and a 16-millimeter film reel of the first episode. It includes every script of “Matlock,” Griffith's 1980s courtroom drama series. Early reticence But Griffith's letters home — which bear one-cent stamps and no ZIP code — reveal his college years as a young performer in bloom. In that first letter from 1944, he tells of boys singing under a tree outside his dorm room. Though Mount Airy knew Griffith's voice well — he’d sing at Sunday church services until his nose bled — he just lay on his top bunk, listening through the open window. “I didn't have the courage to go join them,” said Griffith, who went on to become the campus glee club’s president. A letter written two months later found Griffith as a dining hall busboy making $8 a week. In another one, he lovingly describes Chapel Hill as “one huge park” where the “sun is shining brilliantly and all the earth is blossoming.” Football classic North Carolina Collection, University Library, UNC-Chapel Hill The still-young collection already includes a recording of “What It Was, Was Football,” Griffith’s comedic take on a university football game as perceived by a Carolina bumpkin. Recorded in 1953, four years after Griffith’s graduation, the Capitol Records hit sold 800,000 copies. But before the studio captured that “old football piece,” as he now refers to it, Griffith performed it in Chapel Hill’s Kenan Stadium and once for $25 at the Carolina Inn. Griffith didn’t forget his alma mater in the early 1960s, when he was starring in and co-writing “The Andy Griffith Show.” In one episode, he told Opie, his character's son, that “if he wanted to go to the University of North Carolina, he had to study hard.” The show, set in the fictional North Carolina town of Mayberry, was originally meant to take place "just somewhere in the South," Griffith said. "But I wanted it to be in the Old North State.” His character, Andy Taylor, is even the subject of a bronze statue placed in Raleigh’s Pullen Park by the cable network TV Land. But what does Griffith, who introduced small-town North Carolina life to the world through television, think of 4 today’s prime time lineup? “I have to be honest with you,” he said. “I go to sleep at 8 o’clock. I don't really know what’s on.” REPRINTED BY PERMISSION OF THE NEWS & OBSERVER OF RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA Watergate? They broke into his office first! A veteran of Democratic National Conventions since 1952, Richard J. F. Murphy, Class of 1951, has many stories to tell. The beautiful Bethesda home he moved from this spring was a museum and archive of his involvement with the Democratic Party and the democratic process. Now the University Library is the beneficiary of his years of record keeping and careful collecting. As a student at Carolina, Murphy was elected as a delegate to the National Student Association (NSA) Congress at Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1950, rising to the office of national president in 195253. Upon his graduation he spent five years working for the Democratic National Chairman, Paul Butler. He also served on the organizing committees of the Democratic National Convention for decades, chaired the Security Committee for seven conventions and was CEO (Director) of the 1972 convention in Miami Beach where George McGovern was nominated. He was appointed Assistant Postmaster General for eight years starting in the Kennedy administration and re-appointed in the Johnson administration. Among the items Murphy has given to the Library’s research collections are tickets and entry badges for Democratic Conventions from 1900 to the present; proceedings of the conventions he has attended and organized; manuscripts and research for a soon-to-be published history of the NSA; material from John F. Kennedy’s campaign in which Murphy served as national coordinator of young voters; the speech and press release drafted by Murphy and others during that campaign announcing Kennedy’s intention to create the Peace Corps; candid photographs from the podium of several Democratic conventions and U.S. Postal Department events; and his personal library of over 3,000 books. One object that the Library had to decline was Murphy’s “Watergate chair.” In 1972 Murphy was in Miami preparing the arrangements for the Democratic National Convention. Several weeks previously he had received an early morning phone call from his assistant in Washington. His office at the Watergate was in disarray, although nothing appeared to be missing. Too busy to pursue the matter, they assumed that either a custodian or someone from the office had caused the mess and didn’t want to own up to it. Three weeks later when the Watergate burglars were arrested in their second break-in to the Democratic National Committee headquarters, it threw everything into a different light. As a memento and reminder, Murphy has always kept the green leather, high-backed executive desk chair that sat in his Watergate office. Fascinating as an artifact, the Library felt the chair would be more appropriately placed in a history museum setting than a research library. Murphy continues to add manuscript items and books to his collection at UNC, which will benefit researchers who are interested in national politics, student political action and American history. The Murphy Collection is part of the Library’s ongoing effort to collect materials that document social and political change in the United States and preserve original source materials for research. 5 The collection will benefit researchers interested in national politics, student political action and American history.

I have pursued my education at home and have developed a particular passion for American history. Your collection is invaluble. What you have done for the cause of Learning is truly noble, and a wonderful example to other nations, who have not been so generous with information. I find your collection of slave narratives particularly fascinating, and I could literally spend hours browsing through them.

Shaffer Meredith Thomson Original Scroll of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road Exhibited Jack Kerouac wrote the first draft of On the Road in a caffeine-fueled burst of energy over a period of just twenty days. by Charles McNamara Jack Kerouac wrote the first complete draft of his famous, autobiographically based novel On the Road in a caffeinefueled burst of energy over a period of just twenty days in April 1951. To maintain his creative flow, Kerouac typed as fast as he could, ignoring distractions such as punctuation or paragraph endings. To minimize the need to stop for paper changes, he used long sheets of teletype paper. When taped together at the end of his typing marathon, the resulting scroll manuscript stretched out to nearly 120 feet. The original scroll somehow survived quietly, minus a few inches chewed off by a friend’s dog, until it was sold at auction in New York in 2001 for a record 2.4 million dollars. The successful bidder was James S. Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts football team. An unconventional collector, Mr. Irsay has since shown a determination to share his treasure with the general public. Much like the heroes in Kerouac’s novel, the scroll has been on a tour of America since January of last year, pausing for two or three months at a time for exhibition in different libraries or museums. It will return home to Indiana in 2007. Until December 17, 2005, the Kerouac scroll is in Chapel Hill, on display in Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina. Viewers of the scroll also have the opportunity to see a special exhibition—“Jack Kerouac: The Road Revisited”—drawn from the extensive holdings of Wilson Library, including first editions, original manuscripts and letters, and numerous contemporary photographs of the controversial Beat novelist and his friends. The display is free and open to the general public between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. 14 The exhibition is sponsored by the Rare Book Collection and the North Carolina Writers Network. For further information or to arrange a group gallery visit, contact the Rare Book Collection at 919-962-1143. Copyright to the scroll manuscript resides with the Estate of Anthony G. Sampatacacus and the Estate of Jan Kerouac. UNC to Digitize Russian Emigration Resources Thanks to Mellon Foundation Grant Soon a treasure trove of unique materials housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be available to researchers around the world. In June the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded Carolina $363,000 to digitize records relating to the experience of Russian émigrés in the 20th century. “These notes are incredibly important works of original scholarship,” said Nadia Zilper, curator of the Slavic and East European Collections and the Savine Collection. “They are full of information that has never been published about individuals, organizations, events and publications of the worldwide Russian émigré experience after the 1917 revolution.” Scholars will be able to search and cross-reference names, organizations, publishing houses, geographical locations, occupational titles and other essential data. The records came to Chapel Hill in 2002, when the University Library purchased the collection of the late André Savine, a Parisian book dealer and son of Russian emigrants. In the wake of the 1917 revolution, Russians dispersed across the globe in waves of migration that continued through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Savine devoted himself for more than 30 years to documenting this Russian Diaspora. The impact of the collection is enormous, said Beth Holmgren, chair of the UNC department of Slavic literatures and languages. Rare editions, archives, and published and private journals provide a vivid record of people’s lives as they struggled to retain their culture and maintain their ties to Russia during the Communist era. “The Savine Collection represents an enormously rich resource reflective of the experience, sensibility, and creativity of this post-revolutionary Russian emigration,” Holmgren said. “I can’t wait to make use of its bounty as a scholar and a teacher.” Savine’s own annotations, maintained in 21,500 index cards and notebook pages, provide the key for understanding and mining the collection. The Mellon Foundation funds will enable the library to digitize these documents and create the first module of an expandable database of materials from the collection. Zilper sees the project opening up research in Slavic studies, especially in the history of the Russian Diaspora, the Russian White Army, and Russian literature and culture in exile. Such research has been difficult or impossible because the rare materials dating from the aftermath of the revolution have been fragmented and scattered around the world. The interest of researchers is already quite high. Zilper recently returned from the congress of the International Council of Central and East European Studies, a gathering of the world’s leading scholars in the field. Not only did she observe an upswing of interest in the study of Russian emigration generally, but she found that her supply of promotional materials about the Savine Collection was exhausted almost immediately. In acquiring the Savine collection and making portions of it globally available, the University Library “is in a position to catalyze international research and understanding about one of the great currents in 20th-century political and social history,” said Sarah Michalak, university librarian and associate provost for University Libraries. “This grant capitalizes on the expertise built in the library through other projects and will allow us to fulfill our deep responsibility to unlock for scholars everywhere the potential of the collection entrusted to us." Full digitizing and indexing of Savine’s index cards and notebook pages will be completed by 2007. The library expects that projects to catalog and digitize other portions of the collection will follow. The foundation’s $363,000 award to Carolina counts toward the university’s Carolina First Campaign goal of $1.8 billion. Carolina First is a comprehensive, multi-year, private fund-raising campaign to support Carolina’s vision of becoming the nation’s leading public university. $26.6 Million to Carolina First and Counting by Michele Fletcher As the University’s fiscal year closed on June 30, 2005, University Librarian Sarah Michalak announced that the Library had reached 76 percent of its goal for the Carolina First Campaign: $25.7 million in gifts and pledges. At press time for this issue of Windows, the total had moved upward to $26. 6 million. This heady number translates into new collections, services and other resources that make our great Library even better. From the extraordinary bequest of Jim and Mary Patton’s collection of 20th century first editions to a generous addition to an endowment established in 1993 by alumnus Howard Holsenbeck Jr.’63 of Houston, the Library’s campaign success enriches every future library user. The Carolina First campaign overall goal increase to $2 billion was announced on October 1, 2005, and the campaign extended to December, 2007. With help from generous friends to our Library, we are optimistic that we will reach our $35 million target and with luck, surpass it. A singular challenge remains: to reach the Library’s ambitious $35 million goal by December, 2007, we need many more donors to contribute, either now, or through planned gifts. University Librarian Sarah Michalak and the entire Library staff are developing a plan for greatness. Several priorities stand out. We need endowment gifts for the Manuscripts Department, comprising the Southern Historical Collection, Southern Folklife Collection and University Archives, so that its staff can continue to build and create access to its more than 20 million item holdings. Increased demand for digitally published material requires new funding for equipment, personnel and expertise across the Library. Great gifts like that of Don Sturkey are well-suited to digital formatting. Unrestricted endowment income funds much of our current effort and more is required. Notable commitments this year: The Grace McSpadden Overholser Archival Fellow for African-American Studies established to help the Southern Historical Collection increase its resources and outreach for materials about the African American experience in the south given by Nan and Bob Keohane in memory of her mother. The Andrew Mellon Foundation gave $363,000 to help digitize the first portion of the André Savine Collection. The Friends of the Library Board. John Cay of Savannah, Georgia, made an additional commitment to the John Eugene and Barbara Hilton Cay Fund in support of the Southern Historical Collection. William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust, the Randleigh Foundation and an anonymous donor contributed a total of $75,000 to help with the celebration of the Southern Historical Collection’s 75th anniversary. Gift funds supported an exhibit, related publications and the Southern Sources conference hosted in March. Photograph by Bill Richards 16 Capturing the Carolinas with Camera in Hand by Ginger Travis Don Sturkey did something remarkable with his cameras: for 34 years, as a photographer for the Charlotte Observer, he shot thousands of images of daily events that somehow defy time. The clothes, cars and events belong to decades past, but the faces in those photos still compel us. What is it that makes us want to look? Now retired and living in Belmont, N.C., Sturkey has just given his tremendous photo archive — an estimated 104,000 images’ worth — to the North Carolina Collection. Its value, says Curator Bob Anthony, is the extremely full and vivid picture it presents of life in North Carolina in the second half of the 20th century. “We’re committed to acquiring, preserving and making accessible photographs that document the history and culture of the state,” Anthony says, “and photographs are a growing component of the North Carolina Collection. We are so grateful to Don for securing the future of his collection in North Carolina. His images are going to be seen and enjoyed not just by Tar Heels but by people all around the world.” Trained in photography by the Navy, Sturkey later worked for newspapers in Shelby and High Point before joining the Charlotte Observer staff in 1955. His timing was perfect — the Observer was growing and had added some exceptionally talented photographers. His new peers made Sturkey realize for the first time that photojournalism could transcend the day-to-day record of the ordinary. His ambition was fueled by colleagues all competing for national recognition. Within six years, in 1961, Sturkey became the first news photographer based in the South to be selected Newspaper Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association and University of Missouri. It was a tremendous achievement. The Observer’s photographers and reporters had big events to cover. The late 1950s brought school desegregation and the beginning of social and political upheaval that would last through the 1960s and 70s. “My strongest suit was showing transition in the Carolinas in that period,” Sturkey says. 17 He did it by capturing individuals at the center of public and private dramas: Dorothy Counts, a dignified African American high school student, surrounded by a fevered mob of whites as she climbs the steps to integrate Charlotte’s Harding High School; JFK, campaigning in Greenville, N.C., jolting down a dirt road in a convertible and pursued on foot by a delirious throng of men and boys; two desolate parents receiving a folded flag at the funeral of their 19-year-old son, a high school football hero who barely made it to Vietnam before returning in a casket; a young mill worker, just laid off, standing in the street with his arms crossed but unable to hold in his emotions; and seven white-robed women, seemingly identical but actually with quite different faces – all members of the ladies auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan. Even UNC’s Confederate-inbronze, Silent Sam, is here: in close-up, forever young and serenely oblivious to the peace and love symbols he wears for the 1969 anti-war Moratorium Day. Sturkey takes satisfaction in the impact his photos made. He is proud of a report on hunger that he shot in eastern North Carolina during Lyndon Johnson’s Photograph © Don Sturkey, 1960 John F. Kennedy campaigning in Greenville, N.C. “His images are going to be seen and enjoyed not just by Tar Heels but by people all around the world.” Photograph © Don Sturkey war on poverty. He is gratified that his images of the Chattooga River helped lead to its designation by Congress as a Wild and Scenic River. Sturkey was inducted into the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame in 1991. “My working philosophy was to capture the emotion first and make composition and technique secondary,” Sturkey wrote in A Slice of Time, a Carolinas Album 1950-1990. He was fascinated by people with charisma, and he photographed politicians, entertainers, athletes and evangelists exuding heat and light in front of audiences — or switched off and withdrawn in solitary moments. For all the historic value his photos hold today, it’s still emotion and character that make us want to look at the people in those images. Says Stephen Fletcher, the N.C. Collection’s photo archivist, “There’s a personal connection between photographer and subject; the magic is that connection’s translation over to the subject and the viewer.” Early in his career, Don Sturkey realized his work had value, and he began holding on to his best negatives to prevent the kind of casual loss that regularly befell the work of some of his peers. Eventually Dorothy Counts, as she climbs the steps to integrate Charlotte’s Harding High School.

He also began to think seriously about how the collection could be kept together, safely housed, and seen by the public during and after his lifetime. Photographer Hugh Morton of Grandfather Mountain urged him to consider the North Carolina Collection. Sturkey already had close ties to Chapel Hill through two of his children who attended Carolina and through photo assignments there. After detailed discussions with Bob Anthony, Don Sturkey made the gift. And in August, Stephen Fletcher drove a van to Belmont to pick up 30 boxes of negatives. To the archivist, the collection was a marvel: “In twenty-some years, this was the most highly organized collection I had ever received,” Fletcher says. Sturkey’s chronological arrangement and documentation of the complete contents will save Fletcher several years of work. The archivist’s next steps will be moving the negatives from glassine sleeves to envelopes safe for long-term use, and 18 selecting the first images to be made public through the Library’s new digital content management software. University Librarian Sarah Michalak foresees a time, not very far off, when the Sturkey photo archive will be in broad use by Internet visitors and will receive similar appreciation and gratitude as that showered on Documenting the American South, the Library’s pioneering digital collection. And new software is the key, making it easy for librarians to scan photo negatives, display the images and add descriptive text. The digital content management program also works with other media, including digital photography and printed documents. As a result, “we have a fabulous opportunity to collect old and new at the same time,” Michalak says. “Users will have great access to both . . . and this way we can do both with equal quality and clarity.” The first photos from the Sturkey collection should be viewable within a year. Don Sturkey’s books include The Catawba River (1983) with Frye Gaillard and Dot Jackson, and A Slice of Time (1990).
