Sensitive Materials Statement

Manuscript collections and archival records may contain materials with sensitive or confidential information that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations, the North Carolina Public Records Act (N.C.G.S. § 132 1 et seq.), and Article 7 of the North Carolina State Personnel Act (Privacy of State Employee Personnel Records, N.C.G.S. § 126-22 et seq.). Researchers are advised that the disclosure of certain information pertaining to identifiable living individuals represented in this collection without the consent of those individuals may have legal ramifications (e.g., a cause of action under common law for invasion of privacy may arise if facts concerning an individual's private life are published that would be deemed highly offensive to a reasonable person) for which the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill assumes no responsibility.

The Gifts and Exchanges Section of the Library's Acquisitions Department received and routed materials acquired by gift or by exchange with other libraries and agencies. Until the late 1950s, the Acquisitions Department was known as the Order Department. During the 1920s and 1930s exchanges seem to have been a function of the Periodical, Exchange and Binding Department. When gifts and exchanges became a formally organized unit of the department is difficult to determine.
