Abstract William Emsley Hipp III graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1974 with degrees in drama and sculpture. During his brief career, he was awarded a number of prestigious commissions to create sculptures of some of North Carolina's most distinguished citizens. The materials consist of photographs, most of which are William Emsley Hipp's working photographic portraits of persons commissioned for busts and images of his finished pieces made between 1976 and 1985. Also included are manuscripts, drawings, and paintings on paper related to the sculptures. Many of the subjects of his works have connections to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Included are former United States Senator Sam J. Ervin Jr., North Carolina legislator Thomas J. White, North Carolina Supreme Court Justice William H. Bobbitt, playwright Paul Green, director of the Institute of Government and law professor Albert Coates, UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus Roger N. Kirkman, and basketball coach Dean E. Smith.
