Collection Overview
| Size | 7.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 3000 items) |
| Abstract | The collection documents several generations of the related white Culp and Browne families of Union, S.C., and Johnston, S.C. The two families are related through the marriage of chemist Francis Bartow Culp (1905-1981) and Agnes Nora Dunlap Browne Culp (1908-2008), whose extensive correspondence from the 1930s through the 1960s forms a large part of the collection. Also included are family letters, financial documents, photographs, photograph albums with tintypes and cartes de visite, travel diaries and ephemera from European trips in the early twentieth century, manuscript cookbooks from the 1850s and 1930s, genealogical material including an application for the Daughters of the American Revolution, and mid and late nineteenth-century plantation journals possibly from the Culp House, which was built for merchant Benjamin Dudley Culp (1821-1885) and his wife Cornelia Meng Culp (1830-1888). The antebellum journals contain references to enslaved people. |

Processing Information
Processed by: Laura Hart, 2018; Meaghan Alston, March 2021
Encoded by: Laura Smith
Updated by: Nancy Kaiser, March 2021
Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
The original arrangement as received from the donor has been retained. Folder titles derived from original folder names are indicated with quotation marks (""). The processing archivist expanded initials and dates for clarity. Where quotation marks are not used, the processing archivist derived the folder title from descriptive metadata found within the files.
