Photo Identification at Hall of Fame Reception
On Friday November 8th, 2013 Winston-Salem State University welcomed the 2013 inductees to the C.E. Gaines Athletic Hall of Fame. In an attempt to crowdsource the identification process of images held in the WSSU Archives, a table was set up to allow the inductees to view and identify fellow athletes during the reception hour. Based on the dates the athletes attended WSSU, 224 unidentified images were compiled for them to browse through. With a little under an hour to get photographs identified, we are pleased to announce that 23 images were identified and have since been confirmed.
We would like to thank and congratulate all those inducted into the Hall of Fame.

WSSU Archives Gets a Facelift
Over the past couple of months, the University Archives has gone through some substantial changes. In January movable shelving was installed which doubled the linear feet of storage. This freed up space on the shelves to make room for two major accessions to the collection. The first accession was the Fostina Holman Collection. Holman was a long time music professor at the University and kept a substantial amount of information about the general history of the school. The second collection was donated by the family of the Rev. Dr. Cedric Rodney. The religion professor and University Chaplain kept a large collection of slides from his travels as well as records related to the James A. Gray Lecture Series.
Below please enjoy images of the changes made to the Archives.
