Abstract:

The New Hanover County Public Library's North Carolina Room was created in 1910. Since then, library personnel have collected material relating to the history of the area, the state, and the families that live there. The collection includes over 10,000 state and local history books, over 5,000 photographs pertaining to the region, 1,500 postcards, major Wilmington newspapers published since 1792, vertical files, and census records. The library's North Carolina Room is considered the most comprehensive collection of genealogical research materials for southeastern North Carolina.
