Collection Overview

| Abstract | The University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy was established in March 1897 by an act of the University Board of Trustees. Upon its founding, the School was located in New West building and led by Dean Edward Vernon Howell. In 1912, in need of more space, the School moved to Person Hall. In 1925, the School moved into a building formerly occupied by the Department of Chemistry, which in 1931 was renamed Howell Hall. The School remained there until 1959, when a new Pharmacy building, Beard Hall, was completed. In 1997, School of Pharmacy alumnus Banks D. Kerr donated two million dollars to the School for a new facility. Kerr Hall was dedicated in 2003. The same year, another alumnus, Fred Eshelman, pledged $20 million to the school. In the following years, Eshelman committed an additional $110 million to the school. In 2008, the School was renamed the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in his honor. Records consist of issues of the UNC Pharmacy Student Newspaper, 1962-1965, and School of Pharmacy documents, 1984-1985. The addition of October 2023 includes North Carolina Research Foundation records, 1953-1971, Dean William H. Campbell correspondence, 2003, and Dean Robert A. Blouin correspondence 2003-2010, and School of Pharmacy self-study and accreditation documents, 1978-2012. |
