Priceless Gems: Treasures from Carolina’s Past, a special collections exhibition housed in UNC’s Wilson Library, opened to the public on Jan. 24. Featuring a carefully curated selection of artifacts, the exhibit highlights unique pieces of historical significance and the captivating stories they reveal about the University.

Linda Jacobson, keeper of the North Carolina Collection Gallery, said that the exhibit currently holds 20 items and three audio clips, all of which are considered “treasures.” “They’re connected to UNC history,” Jacobson said in reference to the artifacts. “They’re connected to the history or the events or people who went to school here who are famously connected to the University.”
