Dear users:

We are pleased to announce an early release of our continuing work on a new digital collection of Documenting the American South (DocSouth), a digital publishing initiative that provides Internet access to texts, images, and audio files related to southern history, literature, and culture.

This 'beta' version of The Colonial and State Records of North Carolina is made possible thanks to a multi-year grant from the North Carolina State Library through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Because of the importance of (and demand for) these historic materials we decided to share the results of our ongoing efforts and make portions of the collection available online as they are completed.

Below you will find a tentative roadmap, detailing future additions of features and functionalities to the site. In addition, more volumes will be published as they are digitized:

The Colonial and State Records is very much a collection in progress. We welcome your thoughts, suggestions and ideas for improving our new collection, and please take the time to let us know them through our Contact form.

Sincerely,
DocSouth staff
