Thirty-nine volumes of “The Summit,” the student yearbook from Asheville-Buncombe College and the University of North Carolina at Asheville are now available online. These volumes cover the years 1939-1985 and include the period when the school was known as the “College in the Sky” due to its impressive home in Seely’s Castle on Sunset Mountain. The school moved to the castle in 1949, eventually outgrowing it and moving to its current campus, at the site of the Civil War Battle of Asheville, in 1961.

The yearbooks are part of the D.H. Ramsey Library Special Collections & University Archives at UNC-Asheville.

The 1960 edition of The Eagle, the North Carolina Central University student yearbook, is now online. The yearbook was given to the North Carolina Central University Archives by a generous member of the class of 1961.
