Abstract:

On September 18, 1900, a group of men and women met to form “an organization to stimulate literary and historical activity in North Carolina.” In 1903, the association created the North Carolina Historical Commission, which was the forerunner of the North Carolina State Department of Archives and History. Jones discusses important events in the department's seventy-five-year history.

Abstract:

Wood carvers along the waterways of eastern North Carolina have been using native birds as subjects for centuries, and today, interest in wildfowl carving is at an all time high. These skilled artisans produce works of great quality, but not great quantity, because of the time required in the creation of the finished product. Wiseman discusses the work of some of the carvers.

Two hundred and thirty-five buildings were examined, and thirty-five have been recommended for addition to the National Register of Historic Places.
