Black Mountain College Collection

Books and other materials purchased from Black Mountain College (1933-56) form the nucleus of the collection. The collection is composed of rare and special editions of books and prints as well as memorabilia that were originally at Black Mountain College. The collection also includes materials by or about Black Mountain College's faculty and graduates. These materials do not circulate. If you have any questions about this collection please contact Dr. Leverett T. Smith by e-mail at lsmith@ncwc.edu or by telephone at (252) 985-5350.

The collection is enumerated in 11 sections.

1. A list of some 5,300 books that have been identified at North Carolina Wesleyan College as being originally part of the Black Mountain College Library. These have been entered into an Excel file containing six fields. The first three hold the author, title, and publication information for each book. The last three contain information about the book's connection to Black Mountain College. The fourth reports the name of the donor of the book if it has been displayed on a Donor Plate in the front of the book. The fifth reports the librarian's note on the spine of the bock of the title page (this will often include both the donor's name and the date of acquisition). The sixth, titled "Other," indicated the presence of markings in the book -- owner's signatures, bookplate, marginal notes, and so forth. The file itself is available on request, and may be downloaded from the collection page at http://www.ncwc.edu/library/info/collections/special.php . The original sheets on which this information was compiled are on the top shelf of the bottom cabinet. Five boxes of file cards made from these sheets are in the college archives.

2. Some 273 individual books, either from the Black Mountain College Library, or acquired since Wesleyan's acquisition of the library, of particular value, housed in a wooden cabinet in the Carleton Noell Reading Room and in the wooden and glass cabinets in the Hardee-Rives Room of the library. These books are shelved by Dewey Decimal number; oversized books are shelved in the lower cabinet in the Reading Room. A description of each book and a note on its location can be found in the list below.

3. Catharine Wharton Morris, Oil portrait of Thomas Whitney Surette, 1922. 40x35 inches.

4. Various artists, New European Graphics. Six lithographs, the title page, and table of contents from this Bauhaus portfolio. Artists represented are Alexander Archipenko, Umberto Boccioni, Nathalie Gontscharova, Alexie Von Jawlensky, Michel Larionov, and Enrico Prampolini. Lyonel Feininger did the title page and table of contents. These have been restored and framed and are currently hanging in the library’s north hallway. The container is on the middle shelf of the lower cabinet.

5. Eighteen tape cassettes, all labeled "Paul Leser" and numbered, plus a box containing a 303 page transcription, parts edited for radio broadcast. Conversations on matters autobiographical

and anthropological. Pp. 282-293 concern Black Mountain College, where Leser taught 1949- 1951. The box also contains a 49 page transcription of an interview of Dorothy Carr Morris by Merrill Gillespie concerning her experience at BMC, mostly during the second world war.

Unless the interview is on one of the Leser tapes, we do not have the interview itself. These were done in the early 70s by Merrill Gillespie, himself a former Black Mountain student, and passed on to Edward Dorn. A letter dated 24 July 1975 from Gillespie to Dorn accompanies the transcriptions. Dorn donated the material to our BMC collection. Bottom cabinet, top shelf.

6. Three file folders, contents as follows: Folder A: Typescript of a poem "An American in Augustland" by "Elliot Coleman, Asheville School, Asheville, N. C." 68 pp. Folder B: titled "Black Mtn. Collection -- documents & correspondence." Contains two letters from Charles Olson regarding the sale of the BMC library to Wesleyan, plus envelopes (one stapled to the letter). 4 pieces. Correspondence between Josef Albers and Walter Gray [Wesleyan's first librarian], as follows: 6/10/60 letter Albers to Jasper Smith [Wesleyan's first business manager] offering to purchase Bauhaus portfolios. Reply from Walter Gray. Albers' letter of 6/17/60 offers some of his own prints in exchange and contains two attachments showing the prints. The envelope has the following note, presumably from Gray: "Dr. Moore [Wesleyan's first academic dean]: Re "Albers prints. This is too far out for me! Any comments?" "Me too -- ? JWM." There are two more letters from Albers later that same month, one announcing that he's sending a portfolio of Posada prints to us. There is another inquiry from Albers to Gray about the prints 2/2/63 accompanied, apparently, by two carbons, "Works by Josef Albers in public collections" and "Josef Albers." 18 pieces. Correspondence, November, 1970, among Mary Harris, Albers, and then librarian Alva Stewart. Harris recommends selling the prints to Albers, Stewart inquires, Albers responds, and Stewart responds saying he has sent the prints. 4 Pieces. Inquiry from Howard S. Hilley about the library and response of Jasper Smith. 2 pieces. Three pages of a manuscript beginning "The new students had come to Black Mountain . . ." numbered 26, 34, and 35. 3 pieces.
