N.C.) Trinity College (Randolph County

Published by Trinity College in Randolph County, North Carolina, The Trinity Archive was part of the college’s literary culture in the late 19th century. Trinity College had grown out of earlier schools in Randolph County before later moving to Durham and eventually becoming Duke University.

Rather than having a single personal author, this volume represents a college community in print. Issues of The Trinity Archive gathered student and faculty writing, campus commentary, and literary material, making them useful snapshots of how people at Trinity College read, wrote, and presented themselves in that era.

Because this work is credited to Trinity College rather than to one identifiable individual, there is no confirmed single-author portrait to provide.
