Size 7 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 500 items)
Abstract Photographs made by white photographer Collier Cobb in a variety of settings during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, chiefly in Chapel Hill, N.C. and other locations in North Carolina. A majority of the images depict scenes on the campus of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. The collection is composed largely of glass plates (slides and negatives), as well as some photographic prints. Subjects depicted in photographs include University of North Carolina buildings, grounds, faculty, staff, students, events, and African Americans at the historically white university; residences and churches in Chapel Hill, N.C.; logging in western North Carolina; North Carolina schools in Bertie, Columbus, Craven, Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Onslow, Robeson, Sampson, and Wake counties. Also included are some images depicting members of the Indigenous communities of modern-day Alaska, Canada, and Siberia which Cobb photographed during a trip to the area. Cobb originally described people depicted in some images as "Eskimo(s)" and "Indian," terms he likely misapplied.

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.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Biographical Information

Collier Cobb (1862-1934), the son of Needham Bryan Cobb and Martha Louisa Cobb, was born in Wayne County, N.C., on 21 March 1862. He taught school intermittently in North Carolina, then attended Harvard University where he received a B.A. degree in geology in 1889 and an M.A. in 1894. Cobb taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Boston University. In 1892, he became instructor of geology at the University of North Carolina. The following year, he became chair of the newly established Department of Geology and served in that post until 1934, the year of his death.

Cobb's photography stemmed from his work in geology and other sciences, and he traveled extensively and used photography to document his interests. In the 1890s, Cobb built a darkroom in his Chapel Hill home, where he developed negatives and printed prints.

For more information about the Cobb family, see the Cobb family papers, 1814-1975 (held by the Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Collection #4008), Cobb and the Cobbs by Lucy Maria Cobb or The Battle Book by Herbert B. Battle.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Scope and Content

The collection consists of photographs made by Collier Cobb in a variety of settings, including Chapel Hill and other North Carolina locations; the University of North Carolina; and Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. Topics include buildings, grounds, faculty, staff, students, events and African Americans at the University of North Carolina; residences and churches in Chapel Hill, N.C.; logging in western North Carolina; North Carolina schools in Bertie, Columbus, Craven, Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Onslow, Robeson, Sampson, and Wake counties. Also included are some images depicting members of the Indigenous communities of modern-day Alaska, Canada, and Siberia which Cobb photographed during a trip to the area. Cobb originally described people depicted in some images as "Eskimo(s)" and "Indian," terms he likely misapplied. The collection contains images depicting methods of hunting and slaughter of seals practiced by members of Indigenous communities in Alaska. Images include animal death and blood. The collection is composed largely of glass plates (slides and negatives), as well as some photographic prints.

Cobb sometimes recorded precise technical information on negative sleeves (which have been retained in Print Box 2), including the date and time of day photographs were taken along with negative exposure times and aperture settings on his camera. The North Carolina Collection also has two cameras owned by Cobb.

Additional photographs by and of Collier Cobb can be found in the Cobb family papers, 1814-1975, held by the Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, (Collection #4008).
