The following announcement was written by the folks at Central Piedmont Community College:

2024 marks 10 years of fruitful partnership between Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) and the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center (NCDHC)! With over 40,000 students enrolled annually, 6 campuses, and nearly 300 programs offered, CPCC is a significant educational institution in North Carolina with a long history and extensive archives. We’re pleased to continue our collaboration with this latest addition from CPCC, a large batch of student literary magazines spanning 46 years. The CPCC literary magazine has been known as The Paul Atwell Memorial Literary Magazine, Keystone, and in its most recent iteration, The Hammer. These magazines showcase the talents of decades of students, and gives researchers insight into the literary and artistic subjects that most preoccupied them.
