Asheville YWCA Artifacts on Display in UNCA's Ramsey Library 
Through March 31

Asheville YWCA photographs, newspaper clippings and documents from 1907 to the present are on display in UNCA's Ramsey Library through March 31. The exhibition is located on the library's third floor, near Special Collections and can be viewed during regular library hours.

The exhibition is part of a larger collection of materials, including scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, photographs, meeting minutes and letters, that were recently donated by the YWCA to UNCA's Special Collections for archiving. The material provides an especially detailed account of local racial issues that arose during the YWCA's integration in 1970.

The library is cataloguing all the material and will post an index on the UNCA Web site.

For more information, call the UNCA Ramsey Library at 828/251-6436.
