The Philological Club was formed on 20 January 1893 by faculty members of the University of North Carolina's departments of Language and Literature to stimulate original research in philology. With membership open to faculty members and advanced students in the language departments, the club met monthly to review philological journals and for discussion of related topics. In 1906, the club inaugurated its quarterly Studies in Philology. Throughout its history, the Club has been closely allied with the Department of English.

Records of the University of North Carolina Philological Club include minutes of meetings, summaries of papers presented, membership lists, correspondence, and financial accounts.
