NC Historical Document Images
(will be available in early 2022)
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 document of this type that you would like to share with the public.
NC Land Grant Maps
(will be available in early 2022)
North Carolina did not maintain maps of land grants, but a number of amateur map makers have created them for some but by no means all of the state. This free website will provide a master index to those maps with either images of the maps themselves or links to other websites with those images. If the map is not available online, there will be reference information needed to locate the actual map or publication containing the map. Please contact us if you have or know about land grant maps and would like to share them with the public.
