The School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has its origins in the UNC School of Public Welfare, established in 1920 under the direction of sociologist Howard W. Odum. After some reorganization in the following decades, the School of Social Work was founded in 1950.

This collection consists of oral history interviews with faculty members in the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill conducted by Tiffany R. Washington in 2008 as part of the project "Pioneers in Social Work Education at UNC Chapel Hill." Included is an interview with Hortense McClinton, the first black faculty member hired at the University.
