Skateboard Championship Contest, 11/19/1989. From the N&O Negative Collection, State Archives of North Carolina. Photo copyrighted by the News and Observer. Illegal to use without express permission from the N&O.
Thanks to the help of the North Carolina State Archive Office and the News and Observer, we have thousands of photos and film documenting the history of skating in Raleigh.
In partnership with the City of Raleigh Museum and as part of Downtown Raleigh Alliance’s First Friday events for May, we’re hosting a one-night preview (May 2, 5-9pm) of selects from the Archive’s collection, ahead of bigger project on Raleigh’s skate history.
Starting at 7pm, we’ll hear the stories behind some of the new (and old) photos from photographers Zorah Olivia, Pete Thompson, Chris Facey, and Chris Seward.
Due to limited space, this will be a free but ticketed event. Using the form below, RSVP below.
