Abstract:

A new group of southern scholars were known as the \"New Southerners\" and were largely responsible for establishing state agencies that maintained and preserved historic documents. Men such as John Spencer Bassett, Charles B. Aycock, and R.D.W. Connor understood the inherent value in preserving the state's primary documents for scholarship and study and their efforts made the state a leader in historical programs amongst other southern states in the first half of the 20th-century.
