Elmer W. Hunt Featured on "The Tar Heel Traveler"
by Karen Orr Fritts
“The Tar Heel Traveler" is a popular weekly series on WRAL-TV, featuring
award-winning journalist, Scott Mason. The “Traveler,” broadcast Monday through
Thursday each week, explores the back roads of North Carolina and features
memorable characters, little-known places, and fascinating historical footnotes about
North Carolina.
On March 7, Mr. Mason and
“The Traveler” came to visit
UNC Pembroke and focused
on a well-known and highly
esteemed local character,
Elmer William Hunt. As
many of you already know,
Mr. Hunt is a graduate of UNC
Pembroke and a prolific
photographer who documented
the life and culture of
Pembroke and the Lumbee Elmer Hunt
people for several decades. Mr. Hunt’s family has donated over 50,000 of his photos
to the University. Many of these photos have been digitized and are available for Photo from Universitv Archives
viewing via the Internet. The Elmer W. Hunt Photograph Collection is housed in the
Mary Livermore Library, and printed copies of
some of the photos have been displayed in the
Library for the past three years, as library staff
attempts to identify as many people in the
photographs as possible.
Mr. Hunt's son, Elmer W. Hunt, Jr. (Bill), and
his daughter, Kay Hunt Locklear, met with Mr.
Mason in the Library and shared many fond
memories of their father. Mrs. Locklear's
daughters and grandchildren were present for
the interview, also. They all have very poignant
memories of their father, grandfather, and great
-grandfather who was known to all as “The
Picture-Taking Man." The show was broadcast
on WRAL TV on April 29. You can see the
segment by viewing the link at the following
