Loose Estates Records of North Carolina
The Publications Committee is organizing efforts to produce a compiled index of loose estates for North Carolina. This new publication will be an alphabetical listing, by surname, of extant loose estates files held at the North Carolina State Archives. Each name will be identified by county of probate, archival reference number, and Family History Library microfilm number.
We Need Volunteers
The more volunteers, the quicker we can make this book available. Both individuals who can donate just a few hours at the North Carolina State Archives onsite as well as individuals who can transcribe from home are needed.
Additional details, including a signup form, will be posted here on the homepage of NCGS website. Should you require additional information, please contact the Publications Chair Vickie Burns (

North Carolina Archives Launches Digital Collections

The North Carolina Archives has announced the launch of two online digital collections.
See the latest NC Archives blog article for details, North Carolina Newspaper Digitization Project. An excerpt of the article follows:
The North Carolina State Archives is very proud to announce a new online collection, the North Carolina Newspaper Digitization Project, and the North Carolina State Archives Digital Collections website, which will combine all of our digital collections housed in CONTENTdm. Begun in 2007, the purpose of the newspaper project was to digitize newspapers from our collections that were, up until that time, only available on microfilm. These materials are now available online and include papers dating from 1752-1890s from cities like Edenton (1787-1801), Fayetteville (1798-1795), Hillsboro (1786), New Bern (1751-1804), Salisbury (1799-1898), and Wilmington (1765-1816) - a total of 23,483 digital images that are keyword searchable. The project was made possible by a LSTA grant provided by the State Library of North Carolina.
