NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL SCANS
High quality scans of North Carolina historical documents along with searchable data for genealogy and historical research

COMING EARLY 2023!

This free website will contain high quality images of original documents of interest to researching NC history and genealogy, such as county court minutes, tax lists, land grants, and even materials held by individuals. Unlike many sites, documents do not need to be part of a larger collection, and images of privately held documents such as diaries are encouraged and accepted. Please contact us if you have any documents of this type that you would like to share with the public.
