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.

Samuel Moyle Boone (1919-2008), native of Gates County, N.C., and son of William Jordan and Minnie Belle Williams Boone, received his A.B. degree in 1949 and his Masters of Library Science in 1964 from the University of North Carolina. Boone served as a member of the staff of the Academic Affairs Library (now the University Library) at the University of North Carolina for 30 years. He was appointed head of Photoduplication Services in 1952, in which role he is credited with building the Library's microfilm collection. Also a photographer, Boone shot local events, portraits, campus scenes, and scenic views, and photographed for the Alumni Review during the 1950s. He spent five years on staff at Duke University's Perkins Library after his retirement from UNC-Chapel Hill.
Back to TopPhotographs in the Samuel Moyle Boone Photographic Collection date from approximately the late 1940s through the early 1960s and depict the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill; people (primarily staff and faculty of the University Library and other departments, also including portraits of authors Betty Smith, Manly Wade Wellman, and Kermit Hunter,and some shots of UNC football); Chapel Hill community groups and events; and scenic views, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. A significant subset of negatives document the construction of the 1952 addition to the soon-to-be-named Louis Round Wilson Library.
The Boone photographs consist primarily of black-and-white negatives, as well as a small number of black-and-white prints and color sheet film transparencies.
The physical organization of the collection is as follows:
